A dental cleaning appliance includes a handle and a fluid delivery system. The fluid delivery system includes a nozzle for delivering a burst of working fluid to the teeth of a user, and a moveable fluid conduit which is moveable about an axis relative to the handle. The nozzle is moveable with the fluid conduit, which is biased for movement about the axis in a direction which urges the nozzle against a user's teeth during use of the appliance.

An oral irrigator has a first liquid container, a nozzle outlet, a pump driven by a drive to pump liquid from the liquid container to the nozzle outlet so that a liquid jet is emitted via the nozzle outlet, a first switch arranged so that the drive is powered when the first switch is actuated once and the oral irrigator is switched into an ON state, and so that powering of the drive is stopped and the oral irrigator is switched into an OFF state when the first switch is actuated once again, and a second switch arranged so that the drive is powered only while the second switch is continuously actuated by the user and powering is stopped when the second switch is released.

An ultrasonic back suction-integrated tooth cleaner includes a tooth cleaner host and a tooth cleaner handle. The tooth cleaner host includes a pipeline structure inside. Head ends of a water supply pipeline and a back suction pipeline both extend out of a housing of the tooth cleaner host and are connected to a tail end of the tooth cleaner handle. In the present invention, a back suction pipeline is added to an existing tooth cleaner host, so that the host is adapted to an integral tooth cleaner handle with a back suction function. A flow rate in the water supply pipeline is regulated by using an electromagnetic valve, so that a requirement for accurately controlling a water output volume is satisfied. The tooth cleaner handle is ingeniously designed with a back suction pipeline inside the existing ultrasonic handle, so that an aerosol is effectively controlled during ultrasonic tooth cleaning.

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.

A device, method, and system are provided for treating the oral cavity. The device includes a mouthpiece suitable for implementing a dental treatment, wherein the mouthpiece includes one or more stock elastomeric dental cover layers suitable for forming and maintaining a treatment cavity having a vacuum fluid seal, wherein the dental cover layers includes a layer over all the surfaces of the upper teeth and surrounding gums and/or a layer over all the surfaces of the lower teeth and surrounding gums, wherein each of the layers includes one or more hardened rigid or semi-rigid sections for enabling selected and/or differential collapsibility of the cover layers when exposed to vacuum pressure; and one or more treatment supply layers, and one or more flow channels in fluid communication with the treatment cavity so that the treatment supply layer can deliver and/or remove one or more treatment fluids from the one or more fluid sealed treatment cavities.

A dental procedure performed on target tissue without anesthetic or anesthesia including preconditioning the target tissue using a laser device constructed to produce light in a wavelength range of 2750 nm to 11500 nm, to provide an energy fluence in a range of 50 J/cm.sup.2 to 100 J/cm.sup.2, and to operate in a free running pulsed mode providing 60 μm bursts at a frequency of at least 50 Hz. Preconditioning includes selecting a combination of average optical output power and preconditioning time to administer low level laser therapy. The laser device is adjusted to deliver light through the light guide of the laser device at the selected average optical output power. Light delivered through the light guide of the adjusted laser device is directed toward the target tissue for the selected preconditioning time providing analgesia to the target tissue. Oral tissue is removed from the preconditioned target tissue during analgesia.
