EVADE system (Externally Vented Aerosol and Droplet Evacuation System)
The EVADE (Externally Vented Aerosol and Droplet Evacuation) system is designed to treat collected aerosols with ultraviolet radiation and exposure to ozone gas to prevent the spread of COVID or other infectious pathogens. The system uses an externally vented central vacuum system which produces up to 280 CFM of vacuum flow to facilitate collection of potentially contaminated oral aerosols and droplets generated by instrumentation of any type within the medical, dental or any other field which generates said aerosols. The aerosols are collected within a mirrored chamber, reflecting UVC light in all directions and exposing the aerosols to ozone before moving through HEPA particle filtration and out of the environment through the exhaust of a central vacuum system.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DENTAL SURGICAL GUIDE WITH HYDROLIC VALVE
Provided is a system and method for a dental surgical guide for placing at least one dental implant in a patient's mouth. The surgical guide is a formed prosthesis with a contour to fit upon a patient's teeth. The formed prosthesis providing; at least one guide sleeve disposed in the formed prosthesis and structured and arranged to guide a surgical tool into a patient's jaw at a predetermined location, the guide sleeve defining a tool alignment pathway; at least one irrigant port structured and arranged to receive an irrigant line from a remote irrigant source and conduct the irrigant to a spout disposed proximate to each guide sleeve. A hydraulically activated valve may also be disposed within the spout. An associated method of use is also provided.
TOOTH WHITENING DEVICE
Provided is a tooth whitening device capable of performing tooth whitening treatment. The tooth whitening device can be disposable. The tooth whitening device comprises: a main frame provided in a horseshoe shape and having a whitening groove in which teeth can be fitted; a support member coupled to the main frame; a plurality of light-emitting members installed inside the main frame and configured to emit light during tooth whitening; a fluid storage member positioned to extend through the insides of the main frame and the support member, and configured to store a fluid such as saliva flowing out of the mouth during the tooth whitening; and a control member for controlling a light-emitting time or operation of the light-emitting member, wherein the whitening groove is coated with a gel-type whitener.
HIGH-VOLUME EVACUATOR SUCTION TIP
A suction member for a high-volume evacuator (HVE) suction tool used in dental procedures. The suction member has a connection portion at a proximal end, a tubular portion connected to the connection portion, and a suction tip connected to the tubular portion at a distal end. The suction tip includes outwardly flared lobes and open-ended peripheral vent openings alternating about its circumference. The distal ends of the lobes are generally aligned in an oblique distal tangent plane inclined relative to a longitudinal axis of the tubular portion. The vent openings are spaced closer together towards a front side of the suction member, and the lobes include a widest and most flared rear lobe that is useful for soft tissue retraction.
Detachable Recycling Container
The present invention provides dental amalgam recycling systems, useful for recycling particles from a dental liquid effluent drawn, for example, from a suctioning device.
Custom Retaining and Suction Device
A method of making a custom dental clamp, the method comprising producing a first clamp member using data from a scan of a patient's tooth, the first clamp member having at least one surface shaped to conform to a first surface of the tooth, producing a second clamp member using data from the scan, the scan clamp member having at least one surface shaped to conform to a second surface of the tooth, and connecting the first clamp member to the second clamp member with a resilient member.
Multi-functional visual electric toothbrush
Disclosed is a multi-functional visual electric toothbrush, including a main unit, an oral viewer, an interdental cleaning appliance and an electric toothbrush head. The oral viewer is connected to the main unit, the interdental cleaning appliance is connected to the front end of the oral viewer, and the electric toothbrush head is connected to a toothbrush driving mechanism. A circuit system and a control system of the main unit can not only transfer the energy of a power supply to the toothbrush driving mechanism, so as to drive the electric toothbrush head to work for large-area oral cleaning, but also connect a lighting system, an observation system and a switch of the oral viewer to control the oral viewer to work. The interdental cleaning appliance may be used cooperatively with the oral viewer to perform targeted cleaning on difficult-to-clean food debris in an oral cavity.

SUCTION HOOD FOR DENTAL PROPHY ANGLE
A suction device for use with a dental prophy angle, the suction device comprising a generally horizontal, tubular, open-bottomed hood and a generally vertical suction channel. The hood is configured to cover an upper circumferential portion of the prophy angle head and optionally an upper circumferential portion of the prophy angle's working tip (such as a soft rotary cleaning cup) to define an upper suction region above the head and tip, while leaving a lower circumferential portion of the prophy angle head and full circumferential portion of at least an outer end of the tip exposed. The suction device may be a removable or a permanent part of the prophy angle.
Dental isolator for protecting the tongue and cheek during dental treatment
An isolating retractor instrument to protect a tongue and a cheek of a patient during a dental treatment. The isolating instrument includes a first isolating pad (A) for the tongue, and a second isolating pad (B) for the cheek. Each of the first isolating pad and the second isolating pad having a first (1) layer contacting and adhering to oral tissue, the first layer including an absorbing material for absorbing liquids, a second layer (2) including a fast-absorbing material which absorbs the liquids and holds the liquids, a third layer (3) adjacent the second layer, the third layer (3) including a reinforced, flexible material for supporting and stabilizing a respective isolating pad, and a fourth layer (4) including a reflective, smooth, flexible, and liquid-isolating material positionable to face a plurality of teeth of the patient. A flexible tape connects the first isolating pad and the second isolating pad.
