The present disclosure provides a manifold that can be easily attached to a medical or dental chair in which a patient sits and a flexible arm and funnel connected to the manifold and configured to receive a High Volume Evacuator (HVE) tube. The flexible arm which holds the funnel is configured to be sufficiently rigid to maintain its shape and position, allowing a clinical practitioner to leave the funnel in the appropriate place to capture aerosols emitted from a patient during a procedure use the negative pressure from the HVE. Thus, also provided herein is a method of using the disclosed manifold to remove aerosols emitted during a clinical procedure.

A system and method for attaching a dental water supply bottle to a bottle mounting bracket associated with dental equipment. The system includes a collar configured to be attached to a neck region of a dental water supply bottle, one or more attachment openings defined by the collar, and a quick release adapter. The adapter may include one or more mounting bracket attachment slots and one or more quick release structures. Thus, the adapter can be mounted to the collar by placing the one or more quick release structures into the one or more attachment openings, and the adapter can be disengaged and removed from the collar by manually articulating the quick release structures without the use of tools. The bottle, collar, and quick release adapter may be mounted to a new or existing dental water supply mounting bracket using the mounting bracket attachment slots.

A dentistry training apparatus includes a suction assembly that includes a collection portion having a bottom wall and a sidewall extending upwardly from the bottom wall, the bottom wall defining a central aperture in fluid communication with a liquid suction device. A support tray is positioned atop the collection portion and includes a plurality of legs configured to displace the support tray above the bottom wall, the support tray including a lower wall and a support tray sidewall extending upwardly from a peripheral edge of the lower wall. The lower wall of the support tray defines a hole having a circular configuration for selectively receiving an endodontic cup. An apex locator lead is electrically connected to a power source and positioned atop the bottom wall of the suction assembly, the apex locator lead being registered with the hole so as to engage the endodontic cup when received in the aperture.

A dental tool holder includes a body having a front wall. The front wall includes a magnetic material. The dental tool holder further includes a coupler. The coupler releasably secures the body to a dental stand or a dental chair. When in use, a dentist, dental hygienist, or a dental assistant may dock the dental tools onto the dental tool holder by placing the dental tool within a magnetic proximity of the front wall. The magnetic attraction between the front wall and the dental tool releasably retains the dental tool to the dental tool holder.

A system and method according to which dental care is provided to a young child or infant using a baby dental chair, a floss dispenser, and/or a dental care apparatus. The baby dental chair is specifically designed for the needs of a young child or an infant during a dental examination. The baby dental chair includes a tower base, a seat, and a plurality of wheels. At least one wheel of the plurality of wheels has two configurations: a wheel locked configuration to prevent the baby dental chair from moving and a wheel released configuration to enable the baby dental chair to move. The baby dental chair provides a safe and secure place to examine the teeth of young children or infants during a dental examination.

Arrangements for capturing aerosol during dental procedures include an extraoral suction device and a blower arrangement to induce an airflow zone to push aerosol to the suction device. Blower arrangements can include plenums in the form of a tube, or a face mask, or attached to safety glasses. Extraoral suction devices can be wearable in the form of appliances to be fitted onto either the patient or the dental professional. Improved extraoral suction devices can include a screen secured to a nozzle of the device.
