CHEEK RETRACTOR AND MOBILE DEVICE HOLDER
The present disclosure provides methods, computing device readable medium, devices, and systems that utilize a cheek retractor and/or a mobile device holder for case assessment and/or dental treatments. One cheek retractor includes a first and a second lip holder, both including imaging markers of a predetermined size to determine a scale of teeth of a user, where each imaging marker is located a predefined distance from the remaining imaging markers, and where the lip holder is to hold a cheek away from a mouth of a user to expose teeth of the user. A mobile device holder can include elements to receive a mobile device to capture images of the patient's teeth.

MEDICAL DRAPE
Disclosed is herein a medical drape, and more particularly, a drape capable of preventing sprays generated from the mouth of a patient during dental treatment from being diffused by a first guard or the like to improve hygiene and fixation.
OROPHARYNGEAL DAM FOR FACILITATING A SAFE AND EFFICIENT DENTAL TREATMENT
An oropharyngeal dam for facilitating a safe and efficient dental treatment is disclosed. The oropharyngeal dam includes a pair of cheek retractors including an upper retractor component, a lower retractor component and a cheek retracting sheet. Further, the upper retractor component, the lower retractor component, the cheek retracting sheet, and a set of lip retractors are collectively configured to retract cheeks of a patient. The oropharyngeal dam includes a tongue protector including an upper protector component, a lower protector component and a tongue protecting sheet. Furthermore, the upper protector component, the lower protector component and the tongue protecting sheet are collectively configured to shield and retract a tongue of the patient. The set of lip retractors are configured to aid lip retraction when pulled outside the mouth.

INTRAORAL ASSEMBLY ALLOWING UNINHIBITED ENDOSCOPE AND OXYGEN ACCESS HAVING FRICTIONAL SECUREMENT MEANS
An intraoral assembly for endoscopy, including a bite bar, including a tubular section including a first end and a second end, a first flange arranged at the first end having an indentation therein, a second flange arranged at the second end, and a first through-hole, and a tongue restraint, including, a proximal end, a distal end, a top surface, a bottom surface, a first side, a second side, and a hole extending from the proximal end to a location proximate the distal end, wherein the bite bar is adjustably and removably connectable to the tongue restraint. The tongue restraint having a pair of protrusions arranged in each of a pair of a channels. The tongue restraint having an extension arranged to be seated within the indentation of the bite bar.

Bite block with a needle alignment attachment system
A bite block with inclined surfaces fits between a patient's upper and lower jaws to hold them apart and fixes the bite block position relative to the jaws. A support plate slides relative to the bite block to position a needle guide on the support plate along an axis of the support plate. A position stop on the support plate contacts the anterior border of the Ramus of the patient's mandible to position the needle guide along the axis. A syringe needle is guided by the needle guide to a predetermined location to administer anesthetic, preferably to the inferior alveolar nerve as it enters the mandible. The needle guide is inclined to avoid gaging and a tongue depressor attached to the support plate positions the patient's tongue.

DENTAL ASPIRATION PREVENTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
An aspiration prevention system may be configured to keep items from moving from a mouth of a patient into a throat of the patient. The system may include a mouth prop, a frame, and an air-permeable barrier. The mouth prop may have a top surface configured to abut top teeth of the mouth, a bottom surface configured to abut bottom teeth of the mouth, and a frame coupling feature. The frame may have a barrier retention feature configured to retain an air-permeable barrier, and a prop coupling feature that is attachable to the frame coupling feature of the mouth prop in a position in which the frame at least partially covers the throat.
