A water tank used for a dental water jet device includes a box and a water pipe. The box has a top and a bottom opposite to each other. An upper side of the bottom facing the top has a water guiding surface and a water collecting area. The water guiding surface extends obliquely downward from an edge of the upper side to the water collecting area. The water pipe extends from the water collecting area to pass through the top, and has a water outlet above the top. A dental water jet device having the water tank is also provided.

A nozzle (14) for use with a personal care device (10), comprising: (i) a nozzle housing (50/52) defining a central channel (54) through which a stream of liquid and/or air is directed, and comprising a housing orifice (56) at the end of the central channel; (ii) a magnetorheological liquid housing (58) located over at least a portion of the nozzle housing at the housing orifice, and comprising a tip with an adjustable diameter orifice (59) through which the stream of liquid and/or air exits, wherein the adjustable orifice is adjustable between at least a first diameter and a second diameter; and (iii) one or more magnets (62) configured to control magnetorheological liquid (60) in the magnetorheological liquid housing to adjust between the at least first diameter and second diameter of the adjustable diameter orifice.

An aqueous solution for intraoral cleaning via irradiation with ultraviolet ray and/or near-ultraviolet visible ray and/or ray in an 800-900 nm near-infrared region is employed as the hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution, wherein a concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 1 w/v % to 7 w/v %, and a concentration of a hydrogen peroxide stabilizer is 81 ppm (mg/L) or less in the aqueous solution.

Periodontal disorders such as disorders associated with a dental implant are treated with a laser where an average laser power along with other laser parameters provide particular settings for the treatment, the treatment including one or more of creating a gingival trough or flap around the implant, ablating or denaturing infected tissue via photothermolysis, lasing a pocket around the affected implant, and compressing marginal tissues against the implant.

Disclosed herein is a dental device for delivering fluid continuously while activated in an endodontic application. The dental device includes a hollow needle having a tip end and a connector portion; and a handle. One end of the handle is configured to be affixed to the connector portion of the hollow needle. The opposite end of the handle is capable of being attached to an endodontic handpiece or a sonic agitator for the activation. The connector portion includes at least one tube connector that is an integral part of the connector portion of the hollow needle or a plurality of openings on the connector portion to accommodate the hollow needle to a connector. The connector is a modular fluid delivery connector which is removable from the needle such that it can be reused.

Provided herein are compositions and kits including trichloroacetic acid, and methods of using the same for debridement during endodontic treatment.

In one embodiment, a charging connector for charging devices, such as oral health devices, is disclosed. The charging connector may include a cable configured to connect to a power source and a plug in electrical communication with the cable and configured to connect to a device. The plug includes a plug body, a first conductive contact in electrical communication with the cable, a second conductive contact in electrical communication with the cable, a first magnetic element aligned with the first conductive contact and having a first polarity, and a second magnetic element aligned with the second conductive contact and having a second polarity that is different from the first polarity.

The present disclosure provides an oral irrigator having water spray switching function, which includes a body, a nozzle and a path switching mechanism. The nozzle is provided with a first path and a second path, and the path switching mechanism is configured to communicate one of the first path and the second path with an outlet end of a piston assembly inside the body of the oral irrigator, and disconnect the other one of the first path and the second path from the outlet end of the piston assembly. The nozzle has a water outlet communicating with the first path and the second path. Water sprays from the water outlet are different when the first path or the second path is communicated with the outlet end of the piston assembly inside the body. The oral irrigator of the present disclosure can realize water spray switching without changing the nozzle.

An air/water dental syringe includes a hand-piece, a coupler, and a tip that is releasably coupled with the hand-piece. The coupler includes a collar that releasably engages the hand-piece, and a cap that releasably engages the collar. The cap includes a body having a first end, a second end, and a cavity located between the first end and the second end, such that when the cap engages the collar, the collar extends into the cavity through the first end. The cap also includes a receiver located at the second end of the body. The tip includes a tube, and a post mounted to the tube. The tube has a first end that extends extend through the cap and the collar of the coupler and releasably engages the hand-piece, and a second end operable to dispense air/water from the tip. The post extends away from the first end of the tube and is sized and configured to extend into the cap's receiver to prevent the tip from rotating relative to the hand-piece.
