The present disclosure relates to a treatment tool sterilizer with a micro bubble type ozone water supply. The treatment tool sterilizer includes a sterilization tub configured to accommodate an object to be sterilized; a fresh water supply; an ozone water supply including a pressure pump configured to pressurize and transfer fresh water, an ozone generator, a mixer configured to mix fresh water and ozone, and a bubble generator connected to the mixer and configured to pass fresh water and ozone through the bubble generator so as to form micro bubbles; an ultrasonic generator; a drain; a heater mounted on the sterilization tub and configured to apply heat in the sterilization tub; and a controller configured to output a control signal.

A holding apparatus for holding a sterilizable medical product and for storing the medical product before and/or after the cleaning process, and a product monitoring system featuring such a holding apparatus. The holding apparatus includes a data processing device connectable to at least one sensor in a signal-conducting manner. The sensor is a temperature sensor for determining a temperature during the cleaning process and/or a pressure sensor for determining a static and/or dynamic pressure of a cleaning fluid during the cleaning process. The data processing device processes the sensor signals to form cleaning information and is connectable to a memory apparatus in a data-conducting manner, on which memory apparatus the cleaning information is storable. The cleaning information is retrievable or readable from the memory apparatus by an evaluation device such that a cleaning profile of the medical product can be determined based on the cleaning information.

Rotating dental systems and related guards and methods are disclosed. In some instances, a guard may be configured to prevent material from building up on at least a portion of the dental system. The guard may be configured to prevent materials from being discharged from the dental system. In some embodiments, the guard may also be configured to direct the flow of material along a portion of the dental system. Some guards within the scope of this disclosure comprise bristles.

A sanitizer system and method of use is disclosed. The sanitizer system quickly sanitizes and cools targeted objects and secures the targeted sanitized objects for later use, without the need to transfer the objects to a separate container. In one embodiment, the sanitizer system comprises a cassette having a body and a removable lid that, when joined, form an airtight chamber for containing an object for sterilization. A pressure control element of the system is configured to fluidly engage with the cassette to produce a pressure-controlled environment within the airtight chamber. A heating element of the system, which is interconnected and in thermal communication with the airtight chamber, is configured to provide heat to the airtight chamber. The chamber temperature is raised to a desired temperature for a period of time sufficient to sanitize the object. A cooling element of the system is configured to cool the chamber and the object.

The invention concern compositions and methods that are effective at removing the soils on medical and dental instruments. The disclosed compositions provide improved cleaning compared to known enzymatic compositions for cleaning medical and dental instruments.

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.

A method for administering improved hygiene services and a botanical and biomimetic treatment of dental and periodontal conditions include applying an aerosol spray botanical composition to a patient's oral cavity, pre-treating instruments with clove oil, brushing with a herbal oil-infused brush to massage the patient's teeth and gums, which massaging tightens the gum tissue. Another method comprises rinsing a patient's oral cavity with one of a solution of sea salt or an oil pulling mouthwash, brushing the teeth and gums with a brush to which at least one herbal oil has been applied, flossing the teeth and gums, applying an aerosol spray to a quadrant of the patient's oral cavity, said oral spray preferably comprising a botanical composition such as a herbal oil or oils, and massaging the gums with the oil or oils.

An oral care implement having electrodes thereon. In one aspect, the oral care implement may include a handle and a head, the head having a transverse through hole defined by an upper surface and a lower surface. A first electrode and a second electrode are located on the head and operably coupled to a power source to have opposite electrical charges. At least one of the first and second electrodes may be located on one of the upper and lower surfaces of the transverse through hole. In some embodiments, the first electrode is located on the upper surface of the transverse through hole and the second electrode is located on the lower surface of the transverse through hole.

A power toothbrush has a toothbrush head and a handle for driving the toothbrush head with a vibratory motion using drive parameters. The apply drive parameters are adapted based on a sensed pH level. In this way, the brushing can be adapted to the acidity levels presents, and thereby reduce the risk of damage to the teeth caused by excessively hard brushing in an acidic environment.

A container for cleaning an orthodontic appliance comprising a first component having a first set of bristles arranged in a first array and a second component having a second set of bristles arranged in a second array, the second set of bristles extending toward the first set of bristles when the container is in a closed condition. The first component is rotatable relative to the second component to clean the orthodontic appliance positioned within the container. The first component can be releasably lockingly engageable with the second component to clean the orthodontic appliance as the first and second sets of bristles frictionally engage the orthodontic appliance on opposite sides.
