A portable tooth polishing and bleaching treatment device is provided for simultaneous tooth surface polishing and bleaching for use at home or in dental clinics. A single-rod-swinging mechanism, either using tilt-rod-driving or bent-rod-driving, is employed to transfer a continuously rotational input from an electric power into a back-and-forth swinging movement output. The device comprises a battery-powered handpiece with a detachable swinging angle, a dual-functional rubber cup, a user-specific thermoplastic gum protector, a dual-agent mixing set consisting of a separated storage of polishing and bleaching agents and an agent mixing tool. The swinging angle alone is used as a prophylaxis angle for dental clinics.

A wearable controller for a dental handpiece system and a dental handpiece system are disclosed. The wearable controller includes a wearable body. The wearable body includes an input and a display, the input and the display for displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) to an operator providing a plurality of operating selections. A battery is electrically connected to the input and the display for powering the input and the display. A reservoir is secured to the wearable body. An output is electrically connected to the input and the display for receiving an indication of an alert.

A predictive maintenance system and method for a dental handpiece includes a condition sensor for sensing a condition of the handpiece to obtain sensor data and providing wired communication of the sensor data and a device identifier from the handpiece to a delivery unit. The system is configured to store sensor data, a device identifier and a time stamp in data logging equipment to obtain a usage history for the handpiece. The system determines a maintenance condition of the handpiece based on the sensor data and/or the usage history of the handpiece. In response to a severity of the maintenance condition, the system provides a preventative maintenance indication of a future failure for the handpiece or stops operation of the handpiece.

An integrated dental care system is provided. The integrated dental care system comprises a dental recliner chair. The dental recliner chair includes a folding frame. The folding frame includes a U-shaped rear leg frame pivotally coupled to a U-shaped front leg frame. The dental recliner chair also includes two side arms. The dental recliner chair also includes a chair frame. The integrated dental care system also includes a dental treatment unit. The dental treatment unit includes a central body. The dental treatment unit also includes of an integrated compressor and suction unit. The dental treatment unit also includes a plurality of tubes. The dental treatment unit also includes a detachable tool box. The detachable tool box is configured to store a plurality of equipment. The dental treatment unit also includes an adjustable handle and a plurality of wheels. Present disclosure provides a low cost, dependable and portable dental clinic.

The invention provides a unitary cordless dental drive apparatus in a first embodiment having a handpiece with a cantilever arm 18 extending outward and positioned to allow a dental nose cone 26 to be connected. An activating switch 20 is located at the free end of the cantilever arm 18 in a position that is convenient for manipulation by a user. In a second embodiment, a contactor 22 is mounted below the cantilever arm 18 to contact the nose cone 26 when pressed. In a third embodiment, a standard dental office foot pedal 90 is connected to a wireless transmitter 80 for sending a signal to a receiver 92 located within the handpiece 70 for activating the handpiece 70.
