PUMPING ASSEMBLY, PISTON PUMP AND ORAL IRRIGATOR
The present disclosure relates to a pumping assembly, a piston pump and an oral irrigator. The pumping assembly includes: a cylinder, cavities providing therein with at least two cavities with different inner diameters; a piston mechanism successively extending through the at least two cavities, the piston mechanism being in slidable cooperation with walls of the cavities, and a gap being formed between a sidewall of part of the piston mechanism and the walls of the cavities; and a drive mechanism connected to the piston mechanism, the drive mechanism being configured to drive the piston mechanism to move.
Visual tooth cleaning, grinding and polishing instrument
A visual tooth cleaning, grinding and polishing instrument includes a host, an oral observation instrument and a cleaning and polishing tool. The host can drive the cleaning and polishing tool and supply a power source and a control system for an illuminating system, an observation system and the oral observation instrument. A picture shot by a camera of the observation system can be transmitted to a display of the observation system in time, so as to achieve the purposes of cleaning the teeth while observing a process of cleaning the dental calculus, dental plaque and pigmentation on the surface of the teeth with the cleaning and polishing tool and the cleaning effect instantly on a mobile phone, thereby effectively cleaning, grinding and polishing the teeth. A flusher or an electric toothbrush head or other interdental cleaning tools may also be mounted on the host or the oral observation instrument.
Water toothpick
The invention discloses a water toothpick, which includes a high-pressure gas generator, a water tank, a valve, a nozzle assembly and a water supply, wherein the high-pressure gas generator is communicated with the nozzle assembly, the valve is arranged between the high-pressure gas generator and the nozzle assembly, and the water supply is respectively communicated with the water tank and the nozzle assembly, so as to convey water in the water tank to the nozzle assembly. When the water toothpick is used, the high-pressure gas generator transmits generated high-pressure gas to the valve, and after a certain amount of water is stored in the nozzle assembly, the valve is opened, and the high-pressure gas at the valve is instantaneously discharged into the nozzle assembly, mixed with the water in the nozzle assembly to form compressed vapor, and then sprayed out from the nozzle assembly to complete one cleaning action.
DOCKING AND CHARGING STATION AND FILLING OPERATION FOR A HAND-HELD ORAL CLEANING DEVICE
A docking and charging station (100) for use in conjunction with a hand-held fluid droplet appliance (10) for dental cleaning, the docking and charging station (100) comprising a charging base (102) for recharging the hand-held fluid droplet appliance, a reservoir (110) for holding a larger amount of liquid (112) than can be held in a chamber of the hand-held fluid droplet appliance, and a docking refilling alignment mechanism for properly aligning and securing the hand-held fluid droplet appliance in the cradle (160) of the docking and charging station when the hand-held fluid droplet appliance is mounted into the docking and charging station to prevent spillage, leaking or non-refilling of the appliance from the reservoir if there is not proper alignment.
ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH
The present disclosure relates to an electric toothbrush, and more particularly, to an electric toothbrush including: a main body which includes an outer case; a cleaning body which is coupled to the main body and has a cleaning head formed at one end thereof; a vibration transmission unit which couples the main body and the cleaning body, has a vibration generator mounted thereon to generate vibration, and transmits the vibration to the cleaning body; and a vibration damping unit which is provided between the outer case and the vibration transmission unit, thereby maintaining cleaning performance of the electric toothbrush, reducing magnitude of vibration to be transmitted to a user, and improving convenience for the user.
METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR CLEANING OF A CANAL
A method and an arrangement for the cleaning of a circumferentially closed canal using a light guide conducting a laser beam, with the entry of the laser beam into the light guide being interrupted when the free end of the light guide is outside of the canal and/or the movement of the light guide within the canal is monitored and if there is no movement or the movement is below a first threshold value then a signal is triggered and/or the laser radiation is turned off or its output is reduced. The turning off of the laser radiation or its reducing is controlled in dependency of at least one signal change and/or a second threshold and/or a signal change relative to the second threshold determined during at least one course of time starting before and including the entry of the light guide into the canal.
APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR TREATING ROOT CANALS OF TEETH
Apparatus and methods for endodontic treatment of teeth provide effective cleaning of organic material (such as pulp and diseased tissue) from the root canal system. In an embodiment, a compressor system generates high pressure liquid (e.g., water) that flows through an orifice to produce a high-velocity collimated jet of liquid. The high-velocity jet is directed toward a surface of a tooth, for example, an exposed dentinal surface, and impingement of the jet onto the surface generates an acoustic wave that propagates throughout the tooth. The acoustic wave effectively detaches organic material from dentinal surfaces and tubules. The detached organic material is flushed from the root canal system by the liquid jet and/or by additional irrigation.
CLEANING APPLIANCE
A dental treatment appliance transmits a pulsed light signal towards the oral cavity and captures images of the oral cavity from light returned from the oral cavity. A controller actuates the treatment of the oral cavity of the user depending on the captured images.
Oral Irrigator
The present application relates to the field of oral care products, and more particularly to an oral irrigator. The oral irrigator comprises: an irrigator body, and a generator arranged inside the irrigator body. The irrigator body comprises: a water tank, a nozzle, and a driving assembly. The water tank is configured to accommodate an electrolyte. The generator is configured to electrolyze the electrolyte to generate ozone water and hydrogen-rich water. The electrolyte of the water tank is driven by the driving assembly to enter the generator, electrolyzed in the generator, such that a resulting electrolyzed ozone water and hydrogen-rich water are sprayed out from the nozzle of the irrigator body. In this way, it is solved the technical problem that the existing oral irrigator only uses a water flow for physical cleaning.
Apparatus and methods for filling teeth and root canals
A dental apparatus is disclosed. The dental apparatus can comprise a pressure wave generator to be disposed at a treatment region of a tooth. The pressure wave generator can include an opening to deliver a flowable filling material to the treatment region. The apparatus can include a reservoir for supplying the filling material to the pressure wave generator. The pressure wave generator can be configured to generate pressure waves through the treatment region to cause the filling material to substantially fill the treatment region.
