A faucet-to-oral liquid flossing system allows a person to quickly connect a nozzle to a bathroom or another faucet to direct the water from it to their mouth. The system uses a hose and an elastic connector to attach to the faucet. The nozzle has a switch to control the release of the water into the mouth.

The invention relates to a treatment system (I) for cleaning a component contaminated by biofilm, more particularly for cleaning bacterially contaminated surfaces of bone implants or dental implants (30), the treatment system comprising at least two conductor elements (2, 4) connected to an electrical supply unit (10) to form an electrical circuit. One of the conductor elements can be brought into electrical contact with the component in need of treatment. The object of the invention is to provide a treatment system of this type which allows a particularly acceptable and flexible treatment. To this end, according to the invention at least one of the conductor elements (2, 4) is designed as a diamond electrode (26).

A toothbrush system configured to be coupled to an external suction source. The toothbrush system includes a shaft with a main body with a first end and a second end, and a bristle array and a suction port arranged at the second end. The bristle array and the suction port both extend away from the shaft so that an opening of the suction port is proximal to a distal end of the bristle array. The shaft also includes a stem arranged at the first end. The stem includes a passageway that extends through the main body to provide a fluid connection to the suction port, and is configured to be coupled to the external suction source. Also, the handle is removably coupled to the shaft and includes a drive system operably coupled to the bristle array to actuate motion of the bristle array.

According to various implementations, a dental cleaning device includes a steam conduit and a cooling fluid conduit. The steam conduit has a distal tip with an opening defined therein that allows steam to be applied intraorally close to a dental implant to flush away bacteria that has colonized on or adjacent the dental implant. The cooling fluid conduit has a distal tip with an opening defined therein that allows a cooling fluid to be applied intraorally close to the dental implant following the application of the steam to cool the tissue and prevent overheating of the tissue and bone adjacent the dental implant. For example, the cooling fluid may be applied intermittently with the steam, or the cooling fluid may be applied continuously while the steam is applied intermittently, according to various implementations.
