There is disclosed a dental device configured to be coupled to a vacuum. In at least one embodiment the device comprises at least one channel coupled to the vacuum and in fluid communication with the vacuum. In addition, there can be at least one hood coupled to the channel, and covering the channel wherein the hood is in fluid communication with said at least one channel. In addition, there can be at least one clip coupled to the hood. Furthermore, said at least one clip extending substantially perpendicularly to said at least one hood and substantially parallel to said at least one channel, wherein the vacuum is configured to create a negative pressure inside of said at least one hood, and wherein said at least one clip is configured to couple to a user's mouth, wherein said hood is positioned adjacent to a user's mouth.

A removing device for dentistry has a connecting pipe, a controller, and a sucking tube. The controller is connected to the connecting pipe and has two connecting portions and an operating portion between the two connecting portions. The two connecting portions connect in fluid communication with each other via the operating portion. One of the connecting portions is connected to the connecting pipe. The operating portion has at least one relief hole disposed on an external surface thereof and in fluid communication with the connecting portions and a flow regulator. The sucking tube is connected to the other connecting portion opposite to the connecting pipe to connect in fluid communication with the connecting pipe via the controller. By pressing the operating portion to shield the relief hole or adjust the flow regulator to control the suction force, the removing device for dentistry can be used conveniently and removed quickly.

An electronic impression tray can be used to obtain three-dimensional and temporal measurements in dentistry. There is a device having optical measurement sensor system, and an electronic system including a central management unit capable of collecting, storing and ordering the data obtained by the sensor systems distributed over all or part of the impression tray. An optical impression of all or part of a dental arch can be obtained with a single or multiple impressions. The tray includes a part having the shape of all or part of a dental arch, and the part can change by virtue of its ability to deform and/or a structure formed by multiple elements that are hinged to one another and/or reversibly assembled and secured to one another, such as to provide the optimal shape.

An alternative device to a mask that blocks a patient's aerosol and avoids contamination of the patient's surrounding environment is described. The device has a flexible arm that holds an aerosol disposal pipe with one side connected to a wall, a bed, or pole attached to a floor. The second side of the flexible arm is attached to a circular or elliptical pipe that covers the face of the patient. The elliptical or circular pipe comprises of two independent moving and rotating halves to create two aerosol sucking planes. The sucking function is provided by sucking fans attached to the two halves of the circular or elliptical pipes or by a remote pump. The sucked aerosol may be filtered and released to the environment or guided to a sink P-Trap or an inlet of sewer.

An exemplary hands-free dental suction and retraction device includes a spray capture element, at least one oral partition element, at least one lateral suction tube, and a retraction shroud. The spray capture element may be curved around a longitudinal axis. The spray capture element may define a suction passageway therein and have a plurality of suction apertures each extending between the suction passageway and an outer ambient zone. The outer ambient zone may be defined between the spray capture element and the longitudinal axis. The oral partition elements have one or more suction perforations. An inner ambient zone is defined between the oral partition element and longitudinal axis. The lateral suction tube may be in fluid communication between the suction perforations and the suction passageway. The retraction shroud may extend about the longitudinal axis and be axially disposed at least between the spray capture element and the oral partition element.

A removably attachable mirror apparatus is adapted to be attachable to a suctioning tool of a dental evacuation system for removal of aerosols during a dental procedure. The mirror apparatus includes a closed-loop collar having a mirror post retaining portion adapted to retain a dental mirror. The stem is typically bent at an end in proximity to the mirror to allow for better viewing of a patient's mouth. The collar is sized to create an interference fit over the suctioning tool but is removable after use. The collar may be made of a metal, resin, plastic or silicone. The collar may be 3-D printed. The mirror apparatus may be made to be autoclavable between uses. Alternatively, the collar may be made to be disposable after a single use. The mirror apparatus provides advantages of easy use, low cost and improved remediation of potentially dangerous aerosols generated during common dental procedures.
