The invention is an assortment of apparatuses to magnetically tether a dental hygienist's hand to the utility tubes and hoses commonly found in a dental office. In a preferred embodiment, this is a ring containing a magnet which is worn by the hygienist. This tethers him or her finger to a utility hose or tube, which has a clasp that contains a reciprocal magnet. In another embodiment, the invention is a finger hold which contains a magnet that tether to the utility hose or tube via the magnetized clasp.

An integrated dental care system is disclosed. The integrated dental care system includes a dental recliner chair and a dental treatment unit. The dental recliner chair includes a foldable chair frame which folds at coupling point(s), a foldable chair supporting frame which enables folding and unfolding of the foldable chair frame, a pair of side chair arms including multiple serrated edges for locking a reclination of a back supporting frame at a first reclination angle and vary the reclination to second reclination angle(s), when a second end of the pair of the side chair arms is lifted and locked at second serrated edge(s) of the multiple serrated edges. The dental treatment unit includes a housing including a compressor unit generating compressed air, a pressure controlling unit stepping down the first predefined pressure, and multiple ventilation opening(s) for ventilation. The dental treatment unit includes a toolbox holding instruments for dental treatment.

A dental chair is adapted to be used in cooperation with a dental scanning instrument. The dental chair includes a chair unit, an adjustable support arm, and a display unit. The adjustable support arm has a first end that is connected to the chair unit, and a second end that is opposite to the first end. The adjustable support arm is adjustable in a segment-by-segment manner to move the second end relative to the first end. The display unit is connected to the second end of the adjustable support arm and is adapted to be in signal communication with the dental scanning instrument for displaying an image generated by the dental scanning instrument.

A medical treatment apparatus includes a power and control (PAC) device. The PAC device provides electrical power through a cable to a laser handpiece assembly to electrically power a laser source within the handpiece assembly. The PAC device controls operation of the handpiece assembly and detects an identification of the handpiece assembly. The PAC device also monitors data relating to operation of the handpiece assembly. The PAC device uploads, through a communication network to a user assistance center remote from the PAC device, the handpiece assembly identification and the monitored data.

A conduit guide includes a main body having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being configured for attachment to a dental delivery unit, the main body defining a channel along at least a portion of its length configured to receive a utility conduit. A positioning assembly is disposed within the main body, and includes a first attachment member, a second attachment member, a biasing member, and an adjustment member. The biasing member is coupled to the first attachment member and to the second attachment member, and extends between the first attachment member and the second attachment member. The adjustment member is coupled to the biasing member and configured to axially move the biasing member to adjust a position of the conduit guide. The conduit guide is configured such that at least the adjustment member of the positioning assembly can be selectively accessed and enclosed within the main body.

An oral irrigator including a reservoir, a handle, a housing, a bezel positioned at least partially within and secured to the housing, and an actuator operably coupled to the housing and movable relative thereto is disclosed. The actuator includes a control shaft extending from the interior surface of the face and positioned inwards from an outer perimeter of front wall. The control shaft extends through an aperture in the housing and movement of a gripping body causes the control shaft to directly actuate a switch or a pressure assembly positioned within the housing. The actuator also includes an augmentation fluid positioned between the bezel and a portion of the actuator. The augmentation fluid modifies a frictional relationship between the bezel and the actuator to provide a predefined resistance force between the actuator and the bezel as the actuator is rotated relative to the bezel.
