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.

The present invention relates to dental suction devices for capturing aerosols and managing fluid accumulations in a patient's mouth during a dental procedure. The dental suction devices comprise a housing tube having a first end connectible to a vacuum source; a funnel demountably engageable with a second end of the housing tube; a pliable tube extending throughout the housing tube and extending outward from the funnel. The first end of the pliable tube is connectible to the vacuum source and its opposite end is positionable in a patient's mouth. The second end of the pliable tube has a plurality of apertures, and one or more pairs of retaining collars adjustably spaced-apart therealong. The pliable tube may be looped around the end of a row of teeth and secured in place by a tie that is secured to the spaced-apart pair of retaining collars between two adjacent teeth.

A dental tool is disclosed that includes an operational unit, a neck region and a handle region, in which the neck region is S-shaped. The operational unit can further include a tongue retractor, a flap retractor or a combination thereof. A suction mechanism may be added for eliminating fluids. The neck region may further contain a lateral bend, a rotation of the working end or both. The proximal end of the handle region, opposite the operational unit, may further include any useful apparatus, such as a periosteal elevator or periosteal retractor.

A self-cleaning suction device has a user's suction end that self-sanitizes externally and internally before and after use, as well as self-sanitizes internally during use. A cover opens to reveal the user's suction end within a containment unit. As the cover opens, the suction end travels from a lower chamber, proceeds through a middle chamber of a sanitizing agent, and is presented for use. After suction is complete, the suction end retracts through an upper chamber with, a scraping feature that removes debris from the outer surface of the mouthpiece, and proceeds down through the middle chamber of a sanitizing agent and a scraping feature that removes debris and the sanitizing agent from the outer surface of the user's suction end. Upon the sealing closure of the cover, the upper and middle chambers are flushed with a sanitizing agent, which is suctioned away along with any collected debris. The user's suction end resides within a lower chamber and can be decontaminated by a UV-C light entering into the lower chamber and/or corresponding chambers. The suction device can also include a liquid-hydration delivery system.

The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for holding a medical device within reach of a dentist during a dental procedure, the dental device comprising a clamp portion configured to attach a medical device, the clamp portion having a proximal end and a distal end; and a hook portion coupled to the distal end of the clamp portion, the hook portion configured to engage with a supporting structure. In one implementation, the medical device is a suction hose and the supporting structure is a dental dam.

Provided in this disclosure is a dental filter including a chair-side trap for receiving particles removed from a patient during a dental procedure. The chair-side trap includes a basin for collecting the particles from the patient. The dental filter additionally includes a filter insert sized to be received and retained in the chair-side trap, for preventing the particles to flow outside the chair-side trap. The filter insert is a fabric material including a fine micron cloth that captures particles greater than 5 microns. The filter insert also includes sealed edges around the circumference of the filter insert, where the sealed edges are formed by fusing the fabric material.
