A wedge system for use in a dental restoration procedure for a posterior tooth. The wedge system includes a first wedge including a body, a first arm extending from the body, a second arm extending from the body, and a gap formed between the first arm and the second arm. In some cases, the wedge system may include a second wedge including a body and an arm extending from the body, and at least a portion of the arm of the second wedge can be disposed in the gap of the first wedge to removably secure the second wedge to the first wedge.

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.

A dental powder/liquid material-containing preparation accommodation bag, which suppresses entrainment of air in mixing a powder material and a liquid material for dispensing, is provided. A powder material 8 is accommodated in a powder material accommodation chamber 3 of a bag body 2, while a liquid material 9 dissolving the powder material 8 and changing into a pasty form, in cooperation with the powder material 8 is accommodated in a liquid material accommodation chamber 4 partitioned from the powder material accommodation chamber 3 by a weakened section 7. The weakened section 7 is ruptured by applying a pressing force to the bag body 2. As a result, the powder material accommodation chamber 3 and the liquid material accommodation chamber 4 communicate, to feed the liquid material accommodated in the liquid material accommodation chamber 4 into the powder material accommodation chamber 3. Then, the powder material 8 and the liquid material 9 changing into the pasty form are pressed within the powder material accommodation chamber 3 from the surfaces of the bag body 2 for dispensing.

The disclosure includes a container for dental prophylaxis paste comprising a top surface, an open elongated recessed interior portion located below the top surface, wherein the open elongated recessed interior portion is arranged and configured to receive and retain an amount of dental prophylaxis paste, a bottom surface facing opposite the top surface, and an adhesive coupled to the bottom surface, wherein the adhesive is configured to couple the container to a work surface. In some embodiments, the open elongated recessed interior portion is sized and configured to receive a prophylaxis angle to enable transfer of the dental prophylaxis paste to the prophylaxis angle. The open elongated recessed interior portion may define a substantially rectangular shape.

The present invention relates to a clinical dispenser and applicator and, more particularly, to a clinical dispenser and applicator that is structured to hold and dispense a micro amount (one to several drops) of liquids/solvents in a clinical setting.

The present invention relates to splints for injected veneers, which are designed based on computer-assisted planning and performed by injection using 3D printing by extending successive layers of additive material that adapts to the teeth of the patient already prepared or conditioned, said splints to be used as transfer tools for a fluid composite resin that is injected through holes (6) and subsequently photocured in the mouth over the teeth to shape a veneer thereover, two different splints being made for each patient and arch, a first splint to shape altemate teeth (D1, D3, D5, etc.) and a second splint to shape the remaining teeth (D2, D4, D6, etc.), both equipped with windows (4) that define cavities for the air between the splint and the teeth in order to allow the splint to be easily detached and removed.

A method for non-invasive veneers, including the step of placing a clear matrix around the front surface of a tooth, the matrix placed into the gingival sulcus and extending from the front surface of the tooth, adding a primary layer of resin to the tooth, the resin being heated prior to application and added to the tooth in the following order, each section of resin cured prior to adding resin in the subsequent region: the bottom of the tooth, the side of the tooth, and the front surface of the tooth, mechanically removing a portion of the primary layer of resin using an abrasive material, adding a secondary layer of resin, the secondary layer of resin being a different resin than previously applied, and polishing the secondary layer of resin.
