101 Dental handpiece with switching valve for fluid lines US13898371 2013-05-20 US08882501B2 2014-11-11 Takao Kimura; Masanori Mizunuma; Keita Yokochi
A dental handpiece where the chip air line is selectively switched to the ON-state for using both water and chip air, and to the OFF-state for using only water. The dental handpiece has a switching valve between the circumferential chip air channel and the chip air line in the handpiece body for selectively allowing and preventing communication. Opening the valve switches the communication to the ON-state in which chip air is allowed to pass from the circumferential chip air channel into the chip air line. Closing the valve switches the communication to an OFF-state in which chip air is prevented from passing from the circumferential chip air channel into the chip air line.

The water-flow of the cleaning liquid W1 is collected at the apical-part inside the transducer case 21, and then emitted from the issue 27 into the oral cavity, wherein power supply of 100W or less is supplied to the ultrasonic transducer 22 of 50 mm or less in diameter to propagate the ultrasonic waves S1 of 100 kHz or more to 3 MHz or less in frequency into the cleaning liquid W1.
105 Sodium fluoride, organic powders and aqueous slurry toothpaste formula free flow dental treatment systems US13675869 2012-11-13 US20140134569A1 2014-05-15 Robert Richard Matthews
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.

A dental implant installation procedure is also provided in which a distal end of a dental implant is projected into a paranasal sinus cavity or a nasal cavity to thereby displace the respective sinus membrane or nasal cavity membrane from the respective cavity floor, while minimizing risk of damaging the respective membrane. Bone graft material is introduced into the space thereby created between the respective membrane and the respective cavity floor via a distal portion of the dental implant to thereby form a desired sinus augmentation.
116 Dynamic water spray intensity for dental handpieces US11673830 2007-02-12 US08348666B2 2013-01-08 Timothy M. Beck
A water spray intensity system for providing water to a dental workpiece based on dynamic conditions experienced by the handpiece. The dental workpiece is a dental structure, typically in the mouth of a patient. A periodic function of the handpiece may include a motion such as a periodic motion of a tool of the handpiece, the speed of the rotating tip or some measurable parameter such as the torque experienced by a rotating tip assembled to the handpiece. Instead of providing water at a constant flow rate, the periodic function of the handpiece, such as torque or tip speed, is made by measuring a parameter associated with the handpiece. The water spray intensity system then automatically adjusts the flow of water from the handpiece based on the sensed parameter or periodic function to improve cutting efficiency.
