A medical treatment apparatus includes a power and control (PAC) device. The PAC device provides electrical power through a cable to a laser handpiece assembly to electrically power a laser source within the handpiece assembly. The PAC device controls operation of the handpiece assembly and detects an identification of the handpiece assembly. The PAC device also monitors data relating to operation of the handpiece assembly. The PAC device uploads, through a communication network to a user assistance center remote from the PAC device, the handpiece assembly identification and the monitored data.

A dental unit, which comprises connections for instruments and a control device and a microprocessor, which is arranged to control the dental unit. According to the invention, the microprocessor is arranged to control the dental unit according to a user specific user profile and the dental unit comprises a function for reading the user profile or a part of the user profile from an external record. The external record can be e.g. an USB memory stick or a record readable via a data network.

A system and method for attaching a dental water supply bottle to a bottle mounting bracket associated with dental equipment. The system includes a collar configured to be attached to a neck region of a dental water supply bottle, one or more attachment openings defined by the collar, and a quick release adapter. The adapter may include one or more mounting bracket attachment slots and one or more quick release structures. Thus, the adapter can be mounted to the collar by placing the one or more quick release structures into the one or more attachment openings, and the adapter can be disengaged and removed from the collar by manually articulating the quick release structures without the use of tools. The bottle, collar, and quick release adapter may be mounted to a new or existing dental water supply mounting bracket using the mounting bracket attachment slots.

Arrangements for capturing aerosol during dental procedures include an extraoral suction device and a blower arrangement to induce an airflow zone to push aerosol to the suction device. Blower arrangements can include plenums in the form of a tube, or a face mask, or attached to safety glasses. Extraoral suction devices can be wearable in the form of appliances to be fitted onto either the patient or the dental professional. Improved extraoral suction devices can include a screen secured to a nozzle of the device.

An extraoral suction device for managing aerosol emissions during dental procedures includes: a conduit; an adapter in fluid communication with the conduit; and a mount for mounting the extraoral suction device to a dental chair. The adapter is configured to be placed in fluid communication with a vacuum source to provide suction to the extraoral suction device. The conduit can be selectively manipulated to assume and maintain a position without support from an individual or designated support structure. A dental professional can thus manipulate the conduit to maintain a position in front of the oral cavity of a patient seated in the dental chair to direct aerosols emitted from the oral cavity of the patient into the extraoral suction device instead of the surrounding environment. The extraoral suction device can thus be combined with a dental chair and vacuum source to provide an improved dental chair system for dental procedures.

A robot system for oral cavity and tooth treatment. The system includes a console, a seat device, a robot and a navigation device. The console includes a display device, an operating device and an emergency stop device. The seat device includes a body support portion, an orientation adjustment portion and a head fixing portion. The robot comprises a main controller, a robotic arm, a manipulator. The navigation device performs navigation inside a tooth in a root canal treatment operation according to pre-stored tooth information. The treatment instrument in the manipulator can be replaceable. The seat device can be adjusted such that a patient can face any direction between forward and downward, or lie prostrate.
