The present invention provides a method for cleaning a dental implant in a patient, comprising placing an isolation device around the dental implant to isolate the dental implant from other teeth of the patient, and air polishing the surface of the dental implant with -tricalcium phosphate powder having a particle size equal to or less than 350 m for a period of no more than 90 seconds.

A lidded plastic container has a plunger in the lid which pushes dental appliances down into a cleaning solution. The container includes vent holes in its lid to allow gas-evolving cleaning agents to vent without building up pressure inside the container and to drain the fluid from the container.

The present invention relates to a cleaning/sterilization and storage device for a plurality of dentures, which is capable of simultaneously cleaning a plurality of dentures and, more particularly, to a cleaning/sterilization and storage device for a plurality of dentures, which is capable of simultaneously cleaning a large number of dentures collected from facilities where there are many denture users such as a nursing home or a geriatric hospital to supply the same to the user again, and killing germs as well as separating foreign substances to supply the dentures to the user.

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.

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.

A cleaning device 50 for cleaning a removable dental appliance 12 is described. The device 50 comprises a rotatable upper cleaning brush 14 comprising a plurality of downwardly protruding bristles 16 for cleaning an upper surface of a removable dental appliance. The device also comprises a lower dental appliance holder 18 for holding the dental appliance 12 and which is used in connection with the rotatable upper cleaning brush 14 to limit movement of the dental appliance 12 relative to the rotatable upper cleaning brush 14 wherein, in use, a cleaning action can be applied to the dental appliance 12 by rotating the rotatable upper cleaning brush 14 relative to the dental appliance. The cleaning device 50 further comprises a casing connector 30 for temporarily rotatably interconnecting the rotatable upper cleaning brush 14 and the lower dental appliance holder 18 so as to form a single integrated unit when assembled.

There is a need for a minimally invasive surgical treatment method for periodontitis for the removal of deep pockets, elimination of disease, creation of reattachment of the gingiva to the tooth surface and true regeneration of the attachment apparatus (new cementum, new periodontal ligament, and new alveolar bone) on a previously diseased root surface. The PerioLase? MVP-7? including eGUI or another device capable of laser dosimetry, such as an original MVP-7? type laser without the eGUI, achieves this with the LANAP protocol (laser-assisted new attachment procedure) and the LENAP protocol (laser excisional new attachment procedure).

Disclosed generally is a mouth guard cleaning and storage device. In use, the device may be used to clean and store mouth guards and other dental appliances. The more specific aspects of the disclosed device are described below with reference to the appended figures.
