The invention relates to a dental mirror suction device (10) for suctioning liquids and particles from an oral cavity of a patient, with a tubular hollow base body (12) having an inner surface (14), an outer surface (16), a longitudinal axis (X-X), a connection opening (18) for a hose, and a suction opening (20). The inner surface (14) has a mirror-coated surface (24) which is viewable through the suction opening (20) and which is arranged such that the oral cavity is viewable at least in some portions. The mirror suction device (10) is configured as a disposable mirror suction device.

A dental suction mirror for suctioning liquids and particles from an oral cavity of a patient, includes a tubular hollow main body having an inner surface, an outer surface, a longitudinal axis, and a connection opening for a tube and a suction opening. The inner surface has a mirrored surface that can be observed through the suction opening, with the mirrored surface being arranged in such a manner that the oral cavity can be observed at least in some regions via said mirrored surface. The hollow base body has a central wall along its longitudinal axis, which divides the hollow space at least in some regions into a first hollow channel and a second hollow channel.

A dental suction mirror for suctioning liquids and particles from an oral cavity includes a tubular hollow main body having inner and outer surfaces, a longitudinal axis, a connection opening for a tube, and a suction opening. The inner surface has a mirror that can be observed at least in some regions through the suction opening, and has a mirror surface and a rear side. The main body is configured as a single piece and includes, in its inner surface in the suction opening region, a mirror receptacle configured as a recess and in which the mirror is held in a locking manner. A method for producing a suction mirror includes at least manufacturing a base body with a mirror-accommodating portion and inserting the mirror by pressing it into the mirror-accommodating portion such that an elastic upper retaining shoulder is pressed outwards and contacts an upper face thereof.

The invention provides a disposable dental mirror tool combined with a disposable suction means, enabling simultaneously viewing the patient's mouth and cleaning liquids and debris formed during dental procedures.

A high volume evacuator (HVE) device, for use in dental procedures, securely receives a threaded stem of a reusable dental mirror. The housing of the HVE device includes an axially-extending depression having a pair of parallel sidewalls, each of the sidewalls having a plurality of ribs oriented in a direction perpendicular to an axis of the housing. The ribs serve to retain threads of a threaded stem of a dental mirror. A passthrough opening is provided to permit the threaded stem of the dental mirror to pass from an interior of the housing of the HVE device into the axially-extending depression. The housing of the HVE device includes structural members that facilitate insertion of a dental mirror in a manner that direct the threaded stem toward and through the passthrough opening. The housing of the HVE device may also include intake holes to draw in aerosols other than through a mouth at a distal end of the HVE device.

The invention provides a disposable dental mirror tool combined with a dental suction device which can be an integral part of the tool or may be inserted into the tool, enabling simultaneously viewing the patient's mouth and cleaning debris formed during dental procedures.

A dental evacuation tip has a body defining an interior passageway extending along a length of the body, and proximal and distal openings to the interior passageway. The proximal and distal openings are spaced apart from one another along the length of the body. The dental evacuation tip is configured so that a mirror apparatus can be removably connected to the dental evacuation tip so that at least a portion of a rod of the mirror apparatus is positioned in the interior passageway and a mirror of the mirror apparatus is proximate the distal opening.

A disposable apparatus including: (a) a mirror holder including a floor with a raised circumferential edge having a height(Height of a support base+thickness of the mirror); (b) three or more deformable posts distributed around an inner side of said circumferential edge; (c) a plurality of said support bases, each of said bases adjacent to one of said posts on an inner side of the post; and (d) a suction tube with a mouth spanning a plane of a mirror positioned on said bases and a rear opening across said tube from said mouth. Related apparatus and methods are also disclosed.
