Dental restoration holding devices, dental restoration holding assemblies including the same, and associated methods. A dental restoration holding device includes a base portion and a cap portion, and is configured such that the base portion and/or the cap portion engages a flexible support sheet to define a support surface that supports a dental restoration relative to a suction tip. A dental restoration holding assembly for supporting a dental restoration includes the dental restoration holding device in combination with the flexible support sheet and the suction tip. A method of treating a dental restoration includes operatively engaging a flexible support sheet with a dental restoration holding device to define a support surface, placing a dental restoration upon the support surface, engaging a suction tip with the dental restoration holding device, and flowing a treatment fluid through the dental restoration holding device.

A dental implant cleaning device can include a first elongated member having a first end and a second end located opposite the first end. The dental implant cleaning device can include an elongated cleaning member having a first cleaning end and a second cleaning end located opposite the first cleaning end. The first cleaning end can be attached to the second end. The dental implant cleaning device can also include a second elongated member having a third end and a fourth end located opposite the third end. The third end can be attached to the second cleaning end.

A denture cleaning wipe is a sheet made of a flexible material with a gripping surface opposite a cleaning surface. A first finger pocket and a second finger pocket are each coupled to the gripping surface so that a first portion of an outer edge of the first and second finger pockets are coupled to the sheet and a second portion of the outer edge of the first and second finger pockets are detached from the sheet defining entrances into the first and second finger pockets. The first finger pocket and the second finger pocket are spaced apart and oriented so that the entrances are facing each other.

Aspects of the present invention are directed to an oral cleaning implements having a head and a handle. The implements distal end of the handle may be a tool adapted for removal of denture adhesive from dentures.

The invention relates to a method for producing a dental prosthesis, wherein the dental prosthesis comprises a prosthetic base and a plurality of prosthetic teeth, wherein the method is carried out with the use of a virtual three-dimensional dental prosthesis model of the dental prosthesis which is to be produced, and wherein the virtual three-dimensional dental prosthesis model comprises virtual prosthetic teeth and a virtual prosthetic base, including the following chronological steps: A) producing a physical occlusion plate, wherein a region of the surface of the occlusion plate is formed by a negative of the coronal sides of the virtual prosthetic teeth of the virtual dental prosthesis model, wherein the location and orientation of the virtual prosthetic teeth relative to one another corresponding to the virtual dental prosthesis model remain retained in the shape of the surface of the occlusion plate; B) placing and securing preassembled prosthetic teeth on the occlusion plate, wherein the coronal sides of the pre-assembled prosthetic teeth are placed on the surface of the occlusion plate formed by the negative; C) securing the occlusion plate, with the prosthetic teeth secured therein, in a device for the layered forming of three-dimensional plastic structures; and D) printing the prosthetic base onto the basal ends of the prosthetic teeth with the device for the layered forming of three-dimensional plastic structures on the basis of the shape of the virtual prosthetic base. The invention also relates to a dental prosthesis produced with such a method and a device for carrying out such a method.

A cleaning device for cleaning a removable dental appliance is described. The device includes a rotatable upper cleaning brush having a plurality of downwardly protruding bristles for cleaning an upper surface of a removable dental appliance. The device also includes a lower dental appliance holder for holding the dental appliance and which is used in connection with the rotatable upper cleaning brush to limit movement of the dental appliance relative to the rotatable upper cleaning brush wherein, in use, a cleaning action can be applied to the dental appliance by rotating the rotatable upper cleaning brush relative to the dental appliance. The cleaning device further includes a casing connector for temporarily rotatably interconnecting the rotatable upper cleaning brush and the lower dental appliance holder so as to form a single integrated unit when assembled.
