SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DENTAL VENTILATION
A system and method for dental ventilation is provided including a fan mount assembly wherein a fan unit having a perimeter fan ring is engaged with the fan mount assembly by engaging a locking ring to the fan mount assembly over the perimeter fan ring. The fan unit is connected to an air intake using a duct hose. The air intake includes a light receptacle receiving a light to illuminate a patient and a battery holder receiving a battery to electrically power the light.
TOOTHBRUSH WITH CONTROLLED SUCTION AND/OR IRRIGATION
A toothbrush system configured to be coupled to an external suction source. The toothbrush system includes a shaft with a main body with a first end and a second end, and a bristle array and a suction port arranged at the second end. The bristle array and the suction port both extend away from the shaft so that an opening of the suction port is proximal to a distal end of the bristle array. The shaft also includes a stem arranged at the first end. The stem includes a passageway that extends through the main body to provide a fluid connection to the suction port, and is configured to be coupled to the external suction source. Also, the handle is removably coupled to the shaft and includes a drive system operably coupled to the bristle array to actuate motion of the bristle array.
Electric toothbrush with controlled suction and irrigation
A toothbrush for use by an operator and capable of being connected to a suction device and a syringe. The toothbrush includes a head, a handle, and a suction assembly. The head includes a plurality of bristles and an irrigation port configured to be in fluid communication with the syringe. The handle is coupled to the head and includes a user interface and a controller configured to actuate at least one of rotation, oscillation, and vibration of the plurality of bristles in response to feedback from the operator through the user interface. The suction assembly is coupled to one of the head and the handle and configured to be coupled to the suction device. The suction assembly includes a suction tip that is movable relative to the head.
Suction tool
A suction tool for connection to a dental suction system can include an elongate body, a tip portion, and a screen mechanism positioned within the elongate body. The tip portion can extend over at least a portion of the elongate body. The tip portion can include an upper portion and a lower portion integrally formed with the upper portion and at least partially spaced apart from the upper portion by a recessed portion.
Suction de-clogger system and method
A declogging assembly (20) is configured for use with a suction conduit (10). The suction conduit has a head (14) at a first end (15) and a vacuum tube connection (16) at a second end (17). The assembly includes a body (30). The body defines a first aperture (32), a second aperture (34), and a third aperture (36). The assembly also includes a plug (40) disposed within the body (30). The plug has a surface (42) configured to contact the head (14) of the suction conduit (10) so as to move the plug from a first position, in which the first aperture (32) is in fluid communication with the second aperture (34), to a second position, in which the first aperture (32) is in fluid communication with the third aperture (36). The assembly (20) also includes a biasing member (50) configured to bias the plug into the first position.

TOOTHBRUSH SUCTION APPARATUS AND METHOD
A suction assembly, toothbrush, and method are provided that suction fluids and debris resulting from brushing. The suction assembly includes a housing configured to couple to the toothbrush so that a portion extends around sides and a back of the toothbrush head and is spaced from the toothbrush head by a gap. The suction assembly further includes a vacuum pump, a collection reservoir, and one or more conduits that couple the vacuum pump, suction head portion, and collection reservoir to apply a suction around the toothbrush head through the gap and deposit suctioned material in the collection reservoir.
DENTAL TOOL WITH LIQUID APPLICATOR AND VACUUM CHANNEL
This disclosure relates to a device to break down biofilm and selectively supply liquid in the mouth. An examples head for a dental tool includes body, a front surface, and a back surface. The body define a chamber to contain a substance and a vacuum channel separate from the chamber to fluidly connect to a vacuum supply. The front surface includes a brush plate with brush teeth. The brush plate defines a wall of the chamber. The front surface also defines distribution holes in fluid connection with the chamber. The back surface is opposite the front surface. The back surface defines a vacuum port in fluid connection with the vacuum channel.
Tongue cleaner
The present invention wants to provide an improved tongue cleanser showing an improved cleaning effect. For this, a tongue cleanser is suggested having an essentially disc-shaped body, which is provided on its use-side front surface with a profiling suitable for superficially scraping impurity adherent to the human tongue and which forms a hose connection, which communicates with the profiling.
DENTURE TRAY FOR VISUAL MARKING AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
Disclosed is a denture tray for visual marking and a manufacturing method thereof. The method comprises: establishing a three-dimensional model of a target dentition of a target patient; obtaining a three-dimensional model of a substrate of a denture tray based on the three-dimensional model of the target dentition; providing a through hole at a preset position on the three-dimensional model of the substrate of the denture tray; establishing a three-dimensional model of a fixed connection portion on an outer side surface of the three-dimensional model of the substrate of the denture tray to form a three-dimensional model of the denture tray, wherein the three-dimensional model of the fixed connection portion is integrally connected with the three-dimensional model of the substrate of the denture tray; and manufacturing the denture tray based on the three-dimensional model of the denture tray.
