An oral suction device provides an oral suction screen over the oral cavity of a patient by providing upper and lower suction wings attached to a manifold. The wings are inserted between the upper and lower lips and arches of a patient, respectively, and serve to capture aerosols which would otherwise be ejected from the oral cavity. A tongue/cheek retractor, also in pneumatic communication with the manifold, serves to extract saliva and other products from the oral cavity while also preventing the tongue and cheeks from ingress of the workspace for the dental procedure.

A self-cleaning suction device has a user's suction end that self-sanitizes externally and internally before and after use, as well as self-sanitizes internally during use. A cover opens to reveal the user's suction end within a containment unit. As the cover opens, the suction end travels from a lower chamber, proceeds through a middle chamber of a sanitizing agent, and is presented for use. After suction is complete, the suction end retracts through an upper chamber with, a scraping feature that removes debris from the outer surface of the mouthpiece, and proceeds down through the middle chamber of a sanitizing agent and a scraping feature that removes debris and the sanitizing agent from the outer surface of the user's suction end. Upon the sealing closure of the cover, the upper and middle chambers are flushed with a sanitizing agent, which is suctioned away along with any collected debris. The user's suction end resides within a lower chamber and can be decontaminated by a UV-C light entering into the lower chamber and/or corresponding chambers. The suction device can also include a liquid-hydration delivery system.

Dental instrument assemblies (e.g., mouth pieces, bite blocks, vacuum dental mirrors, illuminated dental mirrors, illuminated dental wedges, trans-illumination dental instrument, illuminated dental bite blocks, etc.) are provided. The dental instrument assemblies may be adapted to be periodically sterilized. The dental instrument assemblies may include a magnetically energetic fiber optic coupler. The magnetically energetic fiber optic coupler may be configured to allow dental instrument adapter to rotate with respect to an associated fiber optic cable that is removably connected to the magnetically energetic fiber optic coupler. The dental instrument assemblies may include a fiber optic material that is encapsulated.

An extra-oral capture hood includes a first cone that provides a first path for a vacuum product through the extra-oral capture hood. A second cone concentric with the first cone and disposed around the first cone provides a second path for the vacuum product through the extra-oral capture hood, the second path being located between the first cone and second cone. A disconnect is connected to at least one of the first cone or second cone, the disconnect being configured to connect the extra-oral capture hood to a duct, a valve or other component of a capture system.

An intelligent tooth health-care system and an intelligent tooth cleaning device thereof. The intelligent tooth cleaning device includes a plurality of sensors capable of detecting conditions of mouth and teeth of a user. The user may obtain data relating to his/her health when he/she cleans the teeth. The sensors also detect the movement of the intelligent tooth cleaning device. The data of movement are transmitted to a mobile device and input to a computer tooth-cleaning game executed in the mobile device, whereby the user is guided by the computer tooth-cleaning game to clean his/her teeth. The data obtained by the sensors can also be transmitted to a server in the cloud for health analysis.

A system and method for dental ventilation is provided including a fan mount assembly wherein a fan unit having a perimeter fan ring is engaged with the fan mount assembly by engaging a locking ring to the fan mount assembly over the perimeter fan ring. The fan unit is connected to an air intake using a duct hose. The air intake includes a light receptacle receiving a light to illuminate a patient and a battery holder receiving a battery to electrically power the light.

The present invention wants to provide an improved tongue cleanser showing an improved cleaning effect. For this, a tongue cleanser is suggested having an essentially disc-shaped body, which is provided on its use-side front surface with a profiling suitable for superficially scraping impurity adherent to the human tongue and which forms a hose connection, which communicates with the profiling.
