20100035204 | Dental handpiece fluid supply technology - A dental fluid delivery system for use with a dental drill, comprising a coolant water supply, a drive air line, a water line, and a coolant mist air controller. The coolant water supply unit includes a controller and a water container, the water controller having a drive air inlet, a water inlet communicatively connected to the water container, a drive air outlet, and a water outlet. The drive air line is connected to the drive air outlet of the water supply unit. The water line is connected to the water outlet of the water supply unit. The coolant mist air controller is adapted for connection to a dental drill, the mist air controller having a drive air inlet, a drive air outlet, a water inlet, a water outlet, and a mist air outlet. | 02-11-2010 |
20100266980 | ADJUSTABLE FLOW REGULATOR FOR DENTAL WATER JET - A dental water jet apparatus for adjusting a pressurized water stream from a pump to a tip moves pressurized water from a reservoir to a tip in fluid communication with the pump. A flow control knob may be turned to selectively adjust the water pressure supplied by the tip between a minimum and a maximum value. When the flow control knob is turned in a first direction, the volume of fluid directed towards the tip decreases and the volume of fluid returned to an inlet of the pump increases. Fluid may flow from the reservoir and ultimately into the tip to provide oral irrigation and/or cleaning of the teeth, gums, and tongue. | 10-21-2010 |
20130157221 | PRE-CHARGED PROPHY ANGLE - A prophy angle is provided that includes a first drive mechanism positioned within a housing for delivering mechanical energy to a rotatable head assembly at the distal end of the housing. A chamber is enclosed within the housing for storing prophy paste. A paste-dispensing assembly that includes an actuator at the proximal end of the housing, a push rod linked to the actuator and supporting a plunger on the push rod is provided, where the push rod is supported by the housing in a biased manner to permit longitudinal movement within the housing in a reciprocating manner as actuated by the actuator, to dispense a controlled quantity of paste out of the prophy angle. | 06-20-2013 |
20140134569 | Sodium fluoride, organic powders and aqueous slurry toothpaste formula free flow dental treatment systems - The FDA approved toothpaste sodium fluoride, organic powders and aqueous slurry toothpaste formula dental treatment systems are designed to safely clean teeth by physico-chemical means contrasted with highly fluid water picks and toothbrush bristles that can't always reach hard to clean areas, between teeth, and inside molars and crowns. Once tartar and plaque set on teeth they are increasingly more difficult to remove with water picks, dental floss, and toothbrush bristles alone that simply can't remove stubborn residues from many hidden and hard to reach areas of your teeth. The FDA approved toothpaste sodium fluoride, organic powders and aqueous slurry toothpaste formula free flow dental treatment systems subject to the approval of the American Dental Association ADA are designed to safely clean teeth gently with clinical specifications of pressurized air of fine toothpaste powders and clinical specifications of aqueous slurry toothpaste formula of highly specialized shape and rotating nozzles. | 05-15-2014 |
20140322667 | ORAL TEETH CLEANING APPLIANCE WITH TIME-SEQUENCED, CUSTOMIZABLE LIQUID BURSTS - An article and method for an oral care appliance which generates successive bursts of liquid adapted to provide cleansing of the teeth. The appliance includes a housing and a system for providing successive bursts of liquid, comprising a source of liquid, a nozzle with a spray exit opening and a system for generating and delivering successive bursts of liquid through the spray exit opening. The appliance includes a controller which includes a learning mode initiated by the user. The appliance is operated by the user in a desired sequence when the controller is in the learning mode. The learned desired sequence is stored in memory of the controller, so that future operation of the appliance proceeds with the sequence of operation established by the user. | 10-30-2014 |

20090317758 | BRUSHHEAD ASSEMBLY-HANDLE INTERFACE ARRANGEMENT FOR A DROPLET JET SYSTEM FOR CLEANING TEETH - The interface structure includes a handle portion ( | 12-24-2009 |
20140342307 | PRE-CHARGED PROPHY ANGLE - A prophy angle is provided that includes a paste-dispensing assembly that includes an actuator at the proximal end of the housing, and a push rod linked to the actuator and supporting a plunger on the push rod, where the push rod is supported by the housing in a biased manner to permit longitudinal movement within the housing in a reciprocating manner as actuated by the actuator, to dispense a controlled quantity of paste out of the prophy angle. | 11-20-2014 |
20160374777 | STEAM CLEANING DEVICE AND METHODS OF USE - According to various implementations, a dental cleaning device includes a steam conduit and a cooling fluid conduit. The steam conduit has a distal tip with an opening defined therein that allows steam to be applied intraorally close to a dental implant to flush away bacteria that has colonized on or adjacent the dental implant. The cooling fluid conduit has a distal tip with an opening defined therein that allows a cooling fluid to be applied intraorally close to the dental implant following the application of the steam to cool the tissue and prevent overheating of the tissue and bone adjacent the dental implant. For example, the cooling fluid may be applied intermittently with the steam, or the cooling fluid may be applied continuously while the steam is applied intermittently, according to various implementations. | 12-29-2016 |
