A system and a method for a hands-free dental suction device includes a contoured tube that may be connected to dental suction lines commonly found in dental operatories. One specific embodiment includes features which allow the hands-free suction device to be attached to a dental lip/cheek retractor, and/or to the patient's lip, in a manner that is both comfortable for the patient and allows convenient, unobscured access to the patient's oral cavity. One potential benefit of the device is the collection and removal of dangerous aerosols generated during dental procedures which may be responsible for spreading disease.

A dental aerosol protection system for controlling dispersion of aerosol and splatter particles produced during dental procedures, the system including a ring assembly, a support mask for supporting the ring assembly on a patient, and a suction generating device, the ring assembly and support mask having suction ports which are connectable to the suction generating device to provide a negative suction force around the oral cavity, wherein the ring assembly and support mask can be connected or used separately to control dispersion of aerosols depending upon the requirements of the dental procedure, and one or more flexible extensions connectable to the ring assembly and support mask extending superiorly away from the patient around and over the oral cavity, the flexible extensions forming an adjustable physical barrier between the dental professional and the patient's oral cavity.

A hands free suction device configured to remove matter generated during a dental procedure on a patient. The device includes a hose including a suction end, a connection end configured to be connected to a dental suction system, and a hollow fluid flow passageway extending between the suction end and the connection end. The hollow fluid flow passageway is configured to pass evacuated matter from the suction end to the connection end. The device also includes a nozzle that is coupled to the suction end of the hose and adapted to be disposed outside of an oral cavity of the patient. A first portion of the hose is articulable relative to a second portion of the hose, such that a dental professional performing the dental procedure does not need to hold the device during the dental procedure but can easily reposition the device if needed.

The present invention provides an apparatus adapted for ejection of material, e.g., saliva, from the mouth of a patient during a dental procedure. The apparatus has at least two distal openings such that material may be ejected simultaneously from at least two locations within the patient's mouth. The invention provides a suction apparatus having a proximal tube, which may couple with a standard waste container apparatus having a suction source.

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.
