System for irrigating the upper aerodigestive tract and neighboring areas
An oral irrigator system having an ergonomic casing with a pliable nozzle assembly, and coupled to a detachable and refillable fluid reservoir. The ergonomic casing contains a power source and a pump mechanism. The detachable nozzle head delivers a pulsating jet of fluid with adjustable speed into the oropharyngeal cavity. When the system is turned on, the rechargeable battery activates the diaphragm pump to draw fluid from the reservoir using a fluid pipe and delivers the fluid to the tip of the nozzle head.
Dental cleaning instrument
A tooth cleaning apparatus for an incapacitated patient which utilizes pressurized liquid to dislodge debris from a tooth area and a suction pump to remove the debris and spent liquid from the incapacitated patient. A handle portion has a first channel which delivers the pressurized liquid and a second channel for the suction function. These channels communicate with a head portion which is configured to be placed over a tooth of the incapacitated patient to simultaneously both rinse and suction the debris and liquid. In this manner, excess water and debris is prevented from collecting in the mouth of the incapacitated patient.
Hands free oral hygiene system
An oral hygiene system for cleaning teeth and gums includes a mouthpiece having at least one arcuate channel adapted to receive and surround the teeth. The mouthpiece includes at least two modalities chosen from a mechanical modality, an iontophoretic modality, and a disinfection modality. The mechanical modality brushes the teeth and gums and dislodges food debris, the iontophoretic modality breaks up plaque and tartar buildup, and the disinfection modality removes the food debris, plaque and tartar buildup. A control system coordinates the transmission of modalities, tracks and records utilization, recording completed and failed treatment cycles, and transmits them to a monitoring system. The monitoring system, which links to electronic medical administrating record (eMAR) technology and patient tracking technology (e.g., RFID sensors, electronic tags), facilitates compliance with recommended oral hygiene regimens and review of compliance by medical staff, assisted living staff, and/or caregivers.
Smart Teethbrush
The present invention describes a conformable U-shaped teeth brush device having a conformable shape adjusting U-shaped teethbrush module and one or more individual tooth brushes coupled to the power drive mechanism, each brush having a sensor, piezoelectric crystal and transducer and each tooth brush having a block anchor coupled to the power drive, under smart controls, an electronic control system for sensing individual tooth pressure and controlling motor transmission of vibration to prior positioned brushes, whereby a users unique mouth features can be accounted for by adjusting U-shape distal ends to fit through the users mouth and align with users teeth arch for programmatically brushing more than one tooth simultaneously.
APPARATUS FOR CLEANING ORAL CAVITY
An apparatus for cleaning the oral cavity comprises: a body including insertion slots into which the teeth of a user can be inserted, a plurality of injection holes and a plurality of aspiration holes formed on the inner wall of the insertion slots; a feeding tube for supplying cleaning liquid to the plurality of injection holes; a discharge tube through which the cleaning liquid is externally discharged via the plurality of aspiration holes; and a switching member for switching the direction of injection and the direction of aspiration of the cleaning liquid, wherein the body includes a first inner space which communicates with the plurality of injection holes, and a second inner space which communicates with the plurality of aspiration holes.
ORAL CAVITY WETTING SYSTEM
An oral cavity wetting system includes a stable detachable attachment to at least one tooth and a conduit or liquid line for delivery and storage of fluid and at least one opening for the exit of fluid inside the oral cavity.
ORAL HEALTH DEVICE HAVING A HANDLE WITH A MANIFOLD SWITCHING MECHANISM
An oral health device includes an oral insert and a fluid delivery system. The oral insert includes a plurality of manifolds for conveying fluid to orifices in the oral insert. The fluid delivery system includes a manifold disc and a manifold selector disc to selectively deliver pressurized fluid to a manifold selected from the plurality of manifolds.
Systems and methods for personalized oral irrigation
Described herein are systems and methods for providing personalized oral irrigation. One variation of a system for personalized oral irrigation comprises a fluid reservoir and a customized oral insert in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir. The oral insert comprises an arrangement of fluid openings positioned based on the individual oral or dental structures of a user's teeth to provide a customized fluid flow over the user's teeth. Also described herein are methods for generating an arrangement of fluid openings in a customized oral insert.
DISRUPTING FLUID FLOW IN A FLUID RESERVOIR
An oral care system includes a fluid reservoir, a check intake valve, and a pump configured to cause fluid to be provided from fluid reservoir to an oral insert of the oral care system via the check intake valve. The fluid reservoir includes one or more fluid flow disrupters.
ORAL HEALTH DEVICE FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY BRUSHING THE SURFACES OF AND CLEANING THE INTERPROXIMAL SPACES BETWEEN A USER’S TEETH
An oral insert includes a plurality of bristles and a plurality of fluid nozzles. The plurality of bristles is located on an upper portion and a lower portion of a tray surface of the oral insert. The plurality of fluid nozzles is located at an inner portion and an outer portion of the tray surface. Fluid output by the plurality of fluid nozzles causes the plurality of bristles to contact surfaces of teeth associated with a user of the oral insert.
