| 20090258326 | Siwak tooth cleaning instrument - The siwak tooth cleaning instrument provides a carrying, protecting and application instrument for a siwak stick, to be applied to the user's teeth for cleaning thereof. In some embodiments, the siwak tooth cleaning instrument includes a tubular housing with a siwak that may be selectively and adjustably raised and lowered to extend the siwak from the housing for cleaning one's teeth, and retracted within the housing for storage and transport, similar to a lipstick. In other embodiments, the siwak tooth cleaning instrument has tooth cleaning cartridges including a siwak that releasably engage the head portion of an elongated handle. A cover may be pivotally attached to the handle for covering the handle and attached cartridge, or a storage tube with replacement cartridges may be pivotally attached to the handle. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20100203474 | DENTAL INSTRUMENT FOR LIFTING SINUS MEMBRANE AND APPLYING BONE POWDER - A dental instrument includes an elongated handle configured for the grasping of a user's hand, a narrow elongated sinus membrane lifting tip extended from one end of the handle and having a smoothly curved end portion for insertion into the nasal sinus of a person to lift the sinus membrane, and a L-shaped bone powder applicator tip extended from the other end of the handle and having a peripherally grooved end portion for picking up bone powder for application to the inside of the nasal sinus. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20110003265 | INDIRECT RESTORATION PLACEMENT TOOL AND PROCESS - A manufactured device for handling a dental restoration, the device comprising an adhesive receiving surface and handle adjacent thereto for grasping of the device by a dental hand tool such as a tweezer or forceps. The handle may also include a bore configured to receive the pins ends of the pin tweezer for grasping the device. The adhesive receiving surface is configured with varying dimensions and shapes to correspond to the different restorations. The adhesive receiving surface may also include lug portions for controlling the amount of adhesive to the device. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110244422 | Carry and Drive Device and Method for Dental Implant and/or Components Thereof - A carry and drive device and method for a dental implant or a dental implant component with a driving recess. The device includes a drive end with a configuration substantially matching the drive recess and with an interference surface frictionally engageable with a portion of the driving recess. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20120164598 | DENTAL FULCRUM - A dental fulcrum comprised of soft material, such as foam, containing a slit for the insertion of incisors, and used as a pivot for scaling, or other treating, teeth by an oral hygienist or dentist. The dental fulcrum protects the fingers of an oral hygienist or dentist from calluses, or loss of sensitivity over time, while at the same time providing friction to reduce the risk of injury causes by fingers slipping on wet incisors. The device may be disposable or reusable, depending on the material used. Foam provides the additional benefit of absorbing saliva to further reduce the risk of slippage. | 06-28-2012 |

| 20130059270 | Prosthodontic tool and method for placing and fitting crowns and inlays - A device for preparing, fitting, and placing periodontal prosthodontics having a finger covering and an attached bilayered adhesive patch, wherein the bilayered adhesive patch comprises two separable layers joined by a weak adhesive and one external side of the bilayered adhesive patch is attached by a strong adhesive to the finger covering while the other external side of the bilayered adhesive patch has a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive. | 03-07-2013 |
| 20130230825 | HOLDING DEVICE FOR DENTAL IMPLANT - A holding device for retaining and transporting a dental implant, particularly a dental implant stored in an ampule having preserving fluid, is provided. The holding device has a securing section, which has a force transmission element for rotationally securing the dental implant and an attachment element having one or more resilient arms formed integrally with and distally of the force transmission element, for longitudinally retaining the dental implant. The resilient arms do not extend beyond the radial perimeter of the force transmission element. The resilient arms can be transformed between a first operative configuration and a second compressed configuration under forces during operation, to allow a radially enlarged end of the arms to releasably engage an undercut of the dental implant. | 09-05-2013 |
| 20130302750 | DEVICE FOR PICKING AND PLACING SMALL PARTS, PARTICULARLY IN THE FIELD OF ODONTOLOGY OR MICROSURGERY - A tubular sleeve is configured to grasp a small part, move it, and place it in a correct location in a patient's mouth. The tubular sleeve comprises a picking end; a connection end having a connection end piece configured to connect to a suction system; and an inner part between the picking end and the connection end, the inner part being equipped with a sealing flap configured to cooperate with a control device to move the sealing flap between an open position and a closed position. The sealing flap, in the open position, allows passage of aspirated air flow from the suction system to pick up and suction the small part, and the sealing flap, in the closed position, blocks the aspirated air flow to separate the small part from the tubular sleeve. | 11-14-2013 |
| 20140272786 | DEVICE FOR DENTAL, CLEANING, OR OTHER PROCEDURE - A device for use in an oral healthcare or other procedure includes a ring having a base and two arms extending in opposite circumferential directions. An upstanding receptacle having a flexible wall is mounted on the base. The two arms may partially overlap. Each arm may include a radial tab at a distal end, and a lateral lobe turned toward and overlapping a portion of the other arm. A cup may be inserted into the first receptacle. A pedestal may extend outward from the base within the receptacle. Anti-rotation pins may extend upward from a top surface of the pedestal, the anti-rotation pins contacting and engaging the cup. A sunken receptacle may be formed in the base. A flange extending at inclined angle may overhang the interior space. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20150366641 | COMPRESSED DECALCIFIED TRABECULAR BONE GRAFTS AND TOOTH SOCKET REPAIR - A method of preparing a bone graft of compressed dehydrated decalcified trabecular bone may include compressing the bone while hydrated from a first form to a second form such that the bone in the second form is compressed relative to the first form. The bone may be dried while compressed. When dry, the bone substantially retains the second form and does not revert to the first form when the compression is removed. | 12-24-2015 |
