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.

The present invention concerns a surgical device made by computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and its use as a surgical guide.

A root canal irrigation assembly, comprising a vacuum device, a suction element having an elongate suction tip, and a sonic device having a sonic handpiece for introducing sonic vibrations into the suction element and thus causing the suction tip to vibrate, wherein the rear end of the suction element is connected to the vacuum device such that an irrigation fluid containing tissue residues and/or bacteria can be suctioned out of a root canal. The suction element comprises an internal vibrator which is held in the suction tip and projects out of the front end thereof, wherein the suction tip and the internal vibrator are interconnected at their rear ends, wherein the suction tip is resiliently formed and dimensioned such that, when the suction tip is introduced into a root canal, the suction tip sealingly closes the root canal in the region of the root canal wall.

The present disclosure is directed to tools, systems and methods for recontouring/reshaping gum tissue by engaging a consumable tip on a powered tool to abrade/ablate excess or mal-contoured gum tissue to allow better visualization of the tooth/implant structure and reduce the periodontal pockets to provide improved access for cleaning by both the patient and clinician. In some embodiments, the powered tool may use vibrational movement, longitudinal reciprocating movement, rotational movement, reciprocating rotational movement, or a combination of any of the above movement schemes. In some embodiments, a consumable tip may be directed for cleaning tooth/implant surfaces and for recontouring/reshaping gum tissue. The powered tool itself may be constructed to allow the cooling water flow used for operation to be directed to the site where the procedure is carried out for irrigation or to be directed elsewhere at the user's selection to facilitate gum contouring procedures.

A handpiece-type high-frequency vibration cutting device includes a housing (10); a vibration device (21); a holding member (11); a tool (12); and a controller (20) to control the operations of the vibration device (21). The controller (20) controls the vibration of the tool (12) due to the vibration device (21) such that the vibration is burst oscillation in which vibration and stop of vibration are repeated. The controller (20) also controls the entire burst frequency f1 of the tool (12) to be included in the range of 1 to 8 [Hz], one cycle of the burst frequency f1 including a burst period with the holding member (11) vibrating and a stop period with the tool (12) not vibrating. The controller (20) also controls the vibration frequency f2 of the tool (12) during the burst period such that the vibration frequency f2 is in the range of 20 to 60 [kHz].

An ultrasound probe includes a treatment portion that is formed at a distal end of a probe body that can transmit input vibration energy. The treatment portion can vibrate with a predetermined amplitude to cut a treatment target object. The treatment portion includes: a first striking face that faces in a distal direction along an axial direction of the ultrasound probe; a second striking face that faces in the distal direction at a position on a proximal end side of the first striking face in the axial direction; and a first side surface that connects the first striking face and the second striking face in the axial direction and that has a predetermined length in the axial direction. The first side surface has a length that is equal to or less than an amplitude of vibration of the treatment portion caused by the input vibration energy.

Disclosed herein is a dental device for delivering fluid continuously while activated in an endodontic application. The dental device includes a hollow needle having a tip end and a connector portion; and a handle. One end of the handle is configured to be affixed to the connector portion of the hollow needle. The opposite end of the handle is capable of being attached to an endodontic handpiece or a sonic agitator for the activation. The connector portion includes at least one tube connector that is an integral part of the connector portion of the hollow needle or a plurality of openings on the connector portion to accommodate the hollow needle to a connector. The connector is a modular fluid delivery connector which is removable from the needle such that it can be reused.
