Systems and methods of remote orthodontic treatment include receiving a plurality of images from a customer where the plurality of images represent teeth of the customer, receiving a first approval from a staff computing device where the first approval is indicative of a staff user approving the plurality of images for assessment by a dental professional, receiving a second approval from a provider computing device where the second approval is indicative of the provider approving a fitness of the customer for treatment, generating, in response to receiving the second approval, a treatment plan including a series of steps to reposition at least one tooth of the teeth of the customer, and manufacturing one or more aligners based at least in part on the treatment plan where the aligners are specific to the customer and are configured to reposition the at least one tooth of the teeth of the customer.

The invention relates to a cartridge for storing, discharging and applying a dental compound, in particular a paste for preparing and drying the gingival sulcus (sulcus gingivae) during dental impression taking. The invention relates to a cartridge (1) for storing, discharging and applying a dental compound, comprising a container (2), which has a hollow chamber (4) for accommodating the dental compound, and a cannula (3). The hollow chamber (4) comprises an outlet opening (5) and an actuator opening (6) opposite the outlet opening (5), and the cannula (3) is fluid-connected to the outlet opening (5), is arranged on the container (2) and is straight in the starting state. The cartridge is characterised in that the cannula (3) is made of plastic and is plastically deformable under standard conditions with the application of manual force in such a manner that a permanent bend by an angle of at least up to 65° in comparison with the starting state can be achieved without buckling the cannula (3).

An outlet for a static mixer includes a cannula, a housing accommodating part of the cannula within a passage extending through the housing in an axial direction. The cannula is attached to the housing via a joining member permanently fixed to an outer surface of the cannula, with the joining member being arranged within a recess of the housing, and with the joining member being formed from a material different to the material of the cannula and from the material of the housing.

A method of administering the contents of a dental impression kit. The method includes sending a dental impression kit to a user, receiving one or more photos of the user's mouth, the one or more photos having been taken while the dental appliance is positioned at least partially within the user's mouth, receiving the initial dental impression created by the user by administering the initial dental assembly, and receiving the redundant dental impression created by the user by administering the redundant dental assembly. The initial dental impression and the redundant dental impression provide information necessary to manufacture a plurality of dental aligners specific to the user and being configured to reposition one or more teeth of the user.

A dispensing control system includes a dispensing device and a remote device. The dispensing device includes a dispenser configured to dispense material from a cartridge disposed in the dispensing device, a first receiver configured to receive information related to the cartridge, a transmitter configured to transmit the information related to the cartridge, and an electronic controller configured to cause the transmitter of the dispensing device to transmit the information related to the cartridge. The remote device includes an electronic controller, a receiver and a transmitter, the receiver of the remote device is configured to receive the information related to the cartridge, the controller of the remote device is configured to monitor the information related to the cartridge and to cause the transmitter of the remote device to transmit the information related to the cartridge to a remote server.

The present invention relates to a delivery system (100) for the release of a dental composition mixed from two or optionally three components. The delivery system has a mixer (14), a cartridge (20) with three compartments and a switchable bypass valve (40) for bypassing the third component from the mixer. The present application further relates to a method of dispensing a dental composition.

The present invention relates in particular to the storage of dental material in a device (10, 10′) and the application of the dental material (20) from such a device (10,10′), and a method for treating dental material (20). In order to provide a solution that allows the simple and practical handling of a dental material (20) in the sense of storage, application and/or treatment thereof, inter alia, a device (10, 10′) for storage and application (20) comprising a cavity (12) for storage of the dental material (20) and a wall (14) surrounding the cavity (12) is proposed, wherein the wall (14) in at least a first temperature range is impermeable to radiation of at least a first wavelength or a first wavelength range in the range of 100 nm to 500 nm, wherein the wall (14) comprises at least one area that at least in a second temperature range is permeable to radiation of at least a second wavelength or a second wavelength range in the range of 600 nm to 50,000 nm.
