A toothbrush is provided. The toothbrush includes an elongated shaft having a brushing head removably attached thereon configured to extend and retract the brushing head from a handle portion. The handle portion is configured to support the brushing head, a rotating assembly, and an antimicrobial assembly. The rotating assembly is configured to rotatably drive the brushing head in either clockwise rotation or counterclockwise rotation. The antimicrobial assembly is configured to sterilize the brushing head and the elongated shaft shaft when retracted within the handle portion. The handle portion further includes a control panel on an exterior face of the handle portion configured to allow a user to operate the rotating assembly and/or the antimicrobial assembly. In this way, the toothbrush allows a user to achieve optimal cleaning of his teeth without introducing harmful microorganisms into his oral cavity.

A cleaning, disinfecting, care and/or sterilization device for at least one medical or dental instrument comprising a housing, a treatment chamber for receiving the at least one medical or dental instrument, a media supply for feeding and/or discharging media into the treatment chamber and a control unit operable to control and/or regulate a cleaning, disinfecting, care and/or sterilization process, wherein the control unit comprises a wireless communication device to communicate with remote accessories of the cleaning, disinfecting, care and/or sterilization device and wherein the wireless communication device is capable of creating a wireless local area network allowing the remote accessories to communicate with the control unit of the cleaning, disinfecting, care and/or sterilization device.

A treatment chamber or treatment carrier for use in a device for treating a medical or dental instrument. The device comprises a housing, which at least partially surrounds the instrument. The device also comprises at least one conductor made of an electrically conductive material layer applied to the housing for converting electrical energy into thermal energy, and at least two electrical contacts embedded in the conductor for supplying the at least one conductor with electrical energy. A treatment device having such a treatment chamber and/or such a treatment carrier is also described.

A dental aspiration device including an inside housing having a proximal portion and a distal portion with an interior surface; an outside housing having a proximal portion and a distal portion with an interior surface; at least one of the interior surfaces of the inside housing and the outside housing including vacuum channels; a hinge connection mechanism hingeably connecting the proximal portions of the inside housing and the outside housing; and a locking mechanism for removably attaching the distal portions of the inside housing and the outside housing to each other.

A process and also to a system for cleaning and maintaining a medical hand-held instrument, in particular a dental hand-held instrument, with an elongate grip sleeve in which elements are arranged which pertain to a drive arrangement and which are, in particular, rotatably supported, for example a shaft. For the purpose of cleaning and maintaining the hand-held instrument different media are conducted through it. In this connection a first medium, for example oil, is conducted merely through a power-transmission region surrounding the elements of the drive arrangement, whereas, on the other hand, a second medium, for example a cleaning agent, is conducted additionally also through at least one further cavity within the hand-held instrument.

A dental mirror cleaner that utilizes a spray of high pressure water and air at an angle across the reflective face of a dental mirror while in a patient's mouth to clean debris, blood and condensation from the mirror. It redirects the flow of the water and or air away from the centerline or linear axis of the mirror handle and sprays it offset from this centerline in a hemispherical pattern at an approximate 35 to 45 degree angle across the mirrored face.

Compositions and methods useful for removing anionic contaminates and debris including phosphates from dental restorative substrates are disclosed.

The disclosure relates to a connected vacuum system with a sensor suite. The system includes an vacuum system, an exam room control system, and an analytics system. Housed in a mechanical room, the vacuum system features a sensor suite that gathers data on various components and environmental factors, such as current, voltage, temperature, speed, position, pressure, dew point, vibration, and flow rate of various components. The collected data is then transmitted to a cloud-based analytics system, which offers thorough analysis, diagnoses, preventative maintenance, and timely alerts to reduce downtime and maintenance costs while enhancing system reliability. The exam room control system, located in the exam room, facilitates monitoring and tuning system parameters via a control panel. This reduces the need to leave the patient's side to attend to the vacuum system in the mechanical room, ultimately improving workflow efficiency and the overall patient experience.

An ultrasonic cleaning device 2 for oral appliances comprises a container 4 and a base 6 on which container 4 is detachably mounted; wherein container 4 comprises a tank 16; wherein the device further comprises an ultrasonic transducer to convey ultrasonic waves to a liquid in tank 16; wherein base 6 of the device is a power supply base comprising electrical connection means; wherein container 4 is provided with corresponding electrical connection means configured for cooperation with the electrical connection means of the power supply base when container 4 is mounted on base 6; wherein the electrical connection means of base 6 and the electrical connection means of container 4 are each provided by an inner contact member and an outer contact member; and wherein at least one barrier ridge 30 surrounds the inner and outer contact members when container 4 is mounted on base 6, the or each barrier ridge 30 being configured to hinder ingress of liquid towards the inner and outer contact members in use of the device.
