DENTAL MIXING PALETTE
A dental mixing palette for ceramic materials such as dental porcelain. The dental mixing palette has a base body, a bearing member mounted on the base body, a rotary platter mounted on the bearing member for undergoing rotational movement relative to the base body, a mixing part disposed on the rotary platter, and a cover configured to selectively, removably covering the mixing part.
Dental Wedges and Matrix Bands For Use In Direct Composite Restoration Techniques
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.

DENTAL WEDGES AND MATRIX BANDS FOR USE IN DIRECT COMPOSITE RESTORATION TECHNIQUES FOR ANTERIOR TEETH
A wedge for use in a dental restoration procedure for an anterior tooth. The wedge includes a handle portion, a body portion coupled to and extending outward from the handle portion, and a matrix band coupled to the body portion. The body portion is adapted to be disposed in an approximal space between the anterior tooth and a tooth adjacent the anterior tooth. The matrix band is adapted to contact the anterior tooth when the body portion is disposed in the approximal space.
Vibrator for attaching composite resin to a tooth
A vibrator for attaching composite resin to a tooth includes a housing, a vibration motor accommodated in the housing and configured to generate vibration, a micro-computer configured to control an operation and a vibration frequency of the vibration motor, a vibration tip configured to couple with one side of the housing to be exposed to an outside of the housing and to transfer the vibration to the composite resin, a vibration bushing provided at one end of the vibration tip and accommodated in the housing, and a control switch provided on one side of the housing and configured to generate a vibration motor control signal in response to a user contacting or pushing the control switch.

Dual-ended disposable triple tool dental applicator apparatus
A dual-ended triple tooled dental applicator apparatus, comprising a plurality of tools with at least one being removably attached. The dental apparatus further comprises a unitary contiguous device having three distinct tools with one tool being detachably connected by a scribe line forming a frangible removable portion thereof. The multi-functioned dental apparatus is comprised of a lightweight but rigid materials (e.g., plastic), which allows the dentist to efficiently use the same tool for working with and applying different materials to a patient's teeth. Upon completion of a given procedure, the end with the frangible portion, as well as the entire device after use, are rendered readily disposable.
