Methods and apparatus for transmitting vibrations via an electronic and/or transducer assembly through a tooth or teeth are disclosed herein. The assembly may be attached, adhered, or otherwise embedded into or upon a removable oral appliance to form a hearing aid assembly. Such an oral appliance may be a custom-made device. The electronic and transducer assembly may receive incoming sounds either directly or through a receiver to process and amplify the signals and transmit the processed sounds via a vibrating transducer element coupled to a tooth or other bone structure, such as the maxillary, mandibular, or palatine bone structure.
222 METHODS FOR USING DENTAL COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING FLUORESCENT AGENTS EP06815998.7 2006-09-29 EP1940343A2 2008-07-09 SIMONTON, Thomas, C.; PETERSON, Kenneth, S.
A method of applying a dental composition to tooth surfaces is provided. The dental composition, comprising polymerizable resin and fluorescing compound, is applied to a tooth surface and cured so that it hardens. The composition is preferably used as a dental sealant that provides a hard, glossy surface finish over a tooth. Upon irradiating the sealant with ultraviolet light, the sealant exhibits a bright fluorescent glow. The sealant reverts immediately to its natural color when it is no longer exposed to the ultraviolet light.
223 PRE-SHAPED DENTAL TRAYS AND TREATMENT DEVICES AND METHODS THAT UTILIZE SUCH DENTAL TRAYS EP04704014 2004-01-21 EP1594415A4 2008-03-26 ANDERSEN SCOT N; ALLRED PETER M
Pre-shaped, non-custom dental trays are either preloaded with a dental treatment composition (e.g., in the form of a gel) or filled with a dental treatment composition just prior to placement over a person's teeth. The pre-shaped dental tray is thin and flexible, which allows it to be placed over a person's teeth and then approximately conform to the person's teeth. The pre-shaped, non-custom dental trays can therefore perform similar to a customized tray but without having to go through the more lengthy customization procedure. According to one embodiment, a pre-shaped dental tray can be pre-loaded with a dental treatment composition and stored within a sealed packaging container. Alternatively, it can be sold by itself or in combination with a treatment composition that a user can load into the dental tray. The tray can be manufactured by vacuum forming polymeric sheet material over a template.

227 MOUTHPIECE DEVICES AND METHODS TO ALLOW UV WHITENING OF TEETH EP03752593 2003-09-23 EP1558166A4 2006-07-26 BAUGHMAN JERALD L
A plastic mouthpiece insert for allowing a wearer to whiten their teeth while getting a suntan, and have a generally oblong oval-rectangular opening with a curved rear end that abuts against the root surfaces of the frontal upper and lower teeth of the wearer. A raised front edge can protect the lips and separate in place about the opening to the mouthpiece. Whitening agents can be used to enhance the whitening effect so that ultraviolet light and heat source such as the sun or a sunlamp is all that it is needed. Reflective inner walls in the mouthpiece can magnify light to the teeth. The mouthpiece can include bite tables, and the side walls of the mouthpiece can be inwardly flared and funnel shaped for focusing and magnifying incoming light and heat. The mouthpiece can be colored to protect the inside of the wearer's mouth from receiving any light.
228 APPARATUS FOR SIMULTANEOUS ILLUMINATION OF TEETH EP00968811 2000-10-06 EP1229852A4 2006-03-15 CIPOLLA ANTHONY J; WARNER JOHN W; WILLIAMS MICHAEL A; PREY JOHN E
An arrangement, for use in whitening a patient's teeth includes an arched surface and an array of light-generating devices, for example, light emitting diodes positioned on the arched surface. The light-generating devices are arranged to form a relatively uniform field of light in a particular range of wavelengths, and further arranged to focus the generated light in an overlapping manner onto a patient's teeth when the mouthpiece is properly positioned relative to the patient's face. The proper positioning is aided by a number of light sources, in the visible range, that shine on the patient's face in a predetermined manner when the mouthpiece is properly positioned. To remove whatever heat is generated at the surface of the patient's teeth in the course of the procedure, the mouthpiece includes air passages between the light emitting devices, and a fan that draws air away from the patient's face.

232 DEVICE FOR PREPARING THE HARD STRUCTURES OF TEETH FOR THE APPLICATION OF DENTAL RESTORATIVE MATERIALS EP02780924.3 2002-06-27 EP1408864B1 2004-12-22 Pasquantonio, Guido; Breschi, Lorenzo; Petrone, Andrea
A method and device for preparing the hard structures of teeth for the application of dental restorative materials, according to which, after a step of mechanical treatment to remove a layer of tissue from the hard structure of the tooth, at a given zone affected by a disorder, and after removing the debris generated by such treatment, a layer of an adhesive substance is spread over the zone using an application head connected by a wire in a support handpiece to a control power circuit able to generate electrical signals which subject the given zone to a difference in potential which subjects the adhesive substance to an electrokinetic force due to the passage of an electrical current able to move the adhesive substance in an even and deep way inside dentinal tubules and so that it occupies the irregular surface of the tooth enamel.
233 COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR WHITENING AND DESENSITIZING TEETH EP01906773 2001-01-30 EP1251793A4 2004-06-30 JENSEN STEVEN D; FISCHER DAN E
Composition and methods which include a dental bleaching agent and potassium nitrate for enhanced whitening and reduced tooth sensitivity. The potassium nitrate both enhances the whiteness of teeth beyond the whitening effect of the dental agent and reduces or eliminates tooth sensitivity that would otherwise be caused by the bleaching agent. For prolonged treatment of teeth, lower quantities of potassium nitrate (e.g., 0.5 %) have actually been found to work better than larger quantities (e.g., 3 %). The dental compositions (40) may be applied directly to the person's teeth, or they may be loaded into a comfortable fitting, flexible, thin-walled dental tray (50) and placed over the person's teeth. In that case, the dental compositions (40) will include a tackifying agent, such as carboxypolymethylene, which assists the composition in retaining the dental tray (50) over the person's teeth as a result of the adhesive properties of the dental composition (40) rather than due to mechanical interlocking of the tray (50) over the person's teeth. The dental compositions may further include anticariogenic and antimicrobial agents.

238 Radiopaque dental composites EP98114735.8 1998-08-05 EP0895774A3 2002-01-30 Schulman, Martin; Prasad, Arun

A fiber-reinforced composite material fro dental restorations, wherein the reinforcing glass fibers comprise a radiopacity-imparting agent, and are therefore inherently radiopaque. Preferably, the glass fibers comprise tantalum oxide, in an amount from about 5 to 60 percent by weight of the total glass composition and most preferably from about 10 to about 25 percent by weight of the total glass composition. The radiopaque fiber-reinforced composite is particularly useful as a structural component for bridges or a tooth restoration after endodontic treatment.
