The present invention relates to a dental device for shaping and simultaneous flushing and suction of a tooth root canal, a head of a dental device for shaping and simultaneous flushing and suction a tooth root canal by shaping the tooth root canal and a hollow endodontic file for shaping and simultaneous flushing and suction a tooth root canal by shaping the tooth root canal.

When the compressed air is not applied, an inclined surface, which is positioned at an upstream side with respect to the supply direction of the compressed air, of the lip part is in contact with the inclined surface of the inner ring. When the compressed air is applied, a contact area between the inclined surface, which is positioned at the upstream side with respect to the supply direction of the compressed air, of the lip part and the inclined surface of the inner ring becomes smaller, as compared to when the compressed air is not applied.

Flow-driven dental instrument (1), comprising a grip part (2), a head part (3), a media line (4), and a fastening means (8), wherein the grip part (2) is constructed in the form of a sleeve with two ends and a media connection (5) is disposed on the first end. At the second end, the head part (3) projects at least partially into the grip part (2). A first end of the media line (4) is connected to the head part (3) and the media line (4) extends from the head part (3) through the grip part (2) to the media connection (5). The fastening means (8) comprises a sleeve (9) having an external thread and a nut (10) having an internal thread, wherein the sleeve (9) is connected to the outer wall of the media line (4) in a material-locking manner and, at least in a direction toward the head part (3), the nut is held in the grip part (2) in a fixed position.

The dental handpiece consists of a housing with a handle and a turbine that can be operated with compressed gas or compressed air. The rotational movement of the turbine driven by compressed gas is transmitted to the dental tool via a rotor shaft and a chuck. The rotor shaft is rotatably supported by at least one axial groove ball bearing. The radial rigidity required for operating a dental handpiece is achieved by axially preloading the ball bearings. Projections on the housing and the shaft disc of the at least one axial groove ball bearing allow the axial groove ball bearing to be used as radial groove ball bearings. The proposed design of the dental handpiece exhibits little power loss or frictional loss in comparison to dental handpieces with radial groove ball bearings, and slip and drilling friction components can be virtually completely prevented in particular.

A rolling bearing includes: an outer ring including an outer ring raceway surface on an inner peripheral surface; an inner ring including an inner ring raceway surface on an outer peripheral surface; a plurality of rolling elements rotatably arranged between the outer ring raceway surface and the inner ring raceway surface; and a sealing member fixed to a seal mounting groove formed on an axial end portion of the outer ring by a retaining ring, the sealing member sealing an axial end portion of a bearing internal space between the outer ring and the inner ring. The sealing member includes a protruding portion at a radial outer end portion, and an outer diameter of the sealing member is larger than an outer diameter of the retaining ring in the seal mounting groove.

The invention relates to a dental tool having a shank region, which is formed for coupling to a dental handpiece, and also having a work region, which is connected to the shank region. In this case, the shank region of the dental tool is formed so that there is the possibility of latchable insertion and removal without actuation. In particular, at least the shank region can consist of plastics material. As a result, inter alia facilitated handling of the tool and inexpensive production of the tool are rendered possible.
