The Dental Needle Vibration Device comprises a vibrator motor device that may be formed onto a disposable dental or surgical needle, or may be reversibly coupled to a self-aspirating syringe. The Dental Needle Vibration Device couples to the disposable dental needle or self-aspirating syringe so that vibration motion from the vibrator motor is transmitted to the needle, improving control over the needle during vibration. The device is formed onto a disposable dental or surgical needle so that it does not rotate about the needle or move along the barrel of the needle. The device is coupled onto a self-aspirating syringe so that it is proximate to the needle in a fixed position so that it does not rotate about the syringe or move along the barrel of the syringe.

Systems and methods for medical patient distraction may permit watching an immersive video headset during a dental or medical procedure that is compatible with nitrous oxide. Having the ability to watch a show on an immersive video headset while using nitrous oxide may allow for further distraction of the patient from the discomfort of dental or medical procedures. The parts and pieces of the immersive video headset that touch the patient may be detachable so they can be changed between patients for easy sterilization and cleanliness. Also, the immersive video headset may be capable of mirroring what is on a phone or nearby computer. The design of the headset may be specifically compatible with being able to use a nitrous hood during dental or medical procedures.

A light for use with an oral anesthesia syringe that is received into a passageway of a barrel of the light. When the syringe is received into a first opening in a proximal end of the barrel's passageway, the needle of the syringe extends through a second opening at the proximal end of the barrel. At least one lamp and preferably a plurality of lamps at the distal end of the barrel illuminate the needle and the interior of a patient's mouth. A battery is included in the light for powering the lamps. The insertion of the syringe into the barrel may a pair of contacts to cause the battery to power the lamps, or the battery may be removed to remove power from the lamps. A disposable integrated syringe and light combination is also described.

Described herein are compositions in nanofiber form including one or more bioactive compounds releasably incorporated thereon. In one embodiment a composition is described comprising at least one nanofiber and at least one bioactive compound. The nanofibers are formed from a base material that is solubilized with the bioactive or bioactives in an aqueous based solvent solution and the base material and bioactives are together spun via electrospinning to form dry fibers with the bioactives chemically bonded to the nanofibers and the bioactives remaining stable during storage of the composition under ambient conditions substantially free of moisture. On exposure to moisture, the nanofibers dissolve, thereby releasing the bioactives.

An intraosseous tack device is configured to puncture alveolar bone or other human or animal bone at a targeted site of the mouth or body to provide an access point for the delivery of local anesthesia or other medicament. The device includes a tack having a body portion and an elongate member extending from the body portion. The elongate member is formed as a solid structure configured for puncturing targeted bone. The body portion includes an attachment feature enabling attachment to a standard syringe or to a customized handle.

An aqueous oral care solution, a kit that includes such solution, a method of making such solution, a method of using such solution (e.g., a method of providing fluoride to a patient's tooth surface), and a tooth surface having a coating derived from the aqueous oral care solution, wherein the oral care solution includes: silver cations; thiocyanatc anions provided by a thiocyanatc source comprising Ca(SCN)2; fluoride anions; and water; wherein the molar ratio of silver to thiocyanatc ions is up to 0.40:1, and water is up to 57 wt-%, based on the total weight of the solution.
