Dental equipment monitoring system
11619524 · 2023-04-04 ·

A non-invasive dental or surgical monitoring system is disclosed. The monitoring system is comprised generally of dental or surgical equipment to be monitored, a main sensor unit, a set of sensors. The main sensor unit is in communication with various sensors removably attached to the equipment. The sensors monitor environment conditions related to the equipment rather than directly monitoring the equipment. The collected data is sent to the main sensor unit and can be accessed, or wirelessly transmitted by signal to a device or devices at another location. As collected data aggregates, a data profile can be created, machine learning can be used to discover patterns, and predictive analysis can be incorporated to help software make predictions of, or spot in real time, equipment problems based on deviations from the profile.

METHOD OF PREVENTING SUCKBACK OF DENTAL HANDPIECE BY BYPASS INJECTION OF DRIVING AIR AND DENTAL HANDPIECE SYSTEM HAVING BYPASS INJECTION STRUCTURE
20230172699 · 2023-06-08 · ·

A method of preventing suckback of a dental handpiece and a dental handpiece system having a bypass injection structure are capable of effectively blocking a suckback phenomenon that occurs at the moment a rotating impeller stops. The method of preventing suckback includes bypassing air pumped from an air pump in a state where a flow path of an air supply pipe is blocked at the moment the impeller stops rotating and halts inside a head casing and injecting the air into the head casing through an air discharge pipe to block the suckback phenomenon.
