A medical dental grinding apparatus comprises an apparatus body, wherein an air pipeline, a clamping mechanism, and a grinding mechanism are provided in the apparatus body; the air pipeline includes an air inlet pipeline, an air outlet pipeline, and a U-shaped connection pipeline; a silencer is connected to an upper port of the air outlet pipeline; a plane where the air pipeline is located is perpendicular to a plane where the clamping mechanism is located, and the grinding mechanism is provided below the air pipeline; the grinding mechanism is driven by high-pressure air in the air pipeline to operate, so that a hidden danger of electric leakage caused by using an electric apparatus in a fragile oral environment is avoided; and a steel wire is fixed by the clamping mechanism, so that the grinding safety is ensured.

A multi-functional dental tool is provided to be used for the dental filling of teeth after the removal of damage in the teeth. The dental tool includes a forcep portion on one end and a burnisher tool on the other end. The burnisher tool portion includes a flat burnisher and a ball burnisher, and a joint which connects the forcep portion and the burnisher tool portion. The dental tool can also include a penlight holder which can receive and secure a penlight. The penlight, when secured in the penlight holder, provides illumination when performing the filling procedure, especially in situations in which an overhead light source is not readily available.

An improved dental bur caddy with a body portion slidably and rotatably connected to a handle portion. The body portion includes a top portion having a plurality of bur holders and the handle portion is concave to cover the top portion. The handle portion is slidable between an open and a closed configuration, and is rotatable between a first position above the top portion, and a second position, wherein in the second position, the handle portion forms a stand configured to hold the top portion in an orientation selected by a user. The apparatus preferably includes a plurality of handle portals in the handle member, wherein each of the plurality of handle portals is configured for viewing a dental bur in each of the bur holders.

A grinding or polishing brush is provided and includes a main body which is rotatable about a central axis and is provided with bristles which extend with their center axes substantially in the direction of the central axis. In order, with such brushes, to permit pin point working, it is proposed that the center axes of the bristles have an inclination in the circumferential direction and/or inward in the radial direction. The effect which can therefore be achieved with the bristles is that they are supported against one another. In order to improve this, the bristles can be provided in an axial portion with film elements connecting them. The film elements may be able to come apart depending on wear.

A wedge system for use in a dental restoration procedure for a posterior tooth. The wedge system includes a first wedge including a body portion adapted to be disposed in an approximal space, a first arm extending from the body, a second arm extending from the body portion, a gap formed between the first arm and the second arm, a first rib arranged on an inner surface of the first arm, and a second rib arranged on an inner surface of the second arm, wherein each of the first and second ribs is adapted to engage tissue defining the approximal space. In some cases, the wedge system may also include a second wedge including a body portion, at least a portion of which can be disposed in the gap of the first wedge to removably secure the second wedge to the first wedge.
