摘要:
Disclosed is a probe for dental therapy and examination, which comprises an elongate bundle (1) of fibers extending generally parallel to the axis of elongation. The bundle is narrowed at one or both of its ends (2, 2'. 2"), and the fibers are secured to each other so that the fiber bundle (1) is coherent but the fibers define capillary passageways (5) therebetween. The narrowed ends(s) (2) may have a globular enlargement (3) or may be sharp ended (2') or blunt-ended (2"). One end of the bundle may be enlarged to form a handle portion (6).
摘要:
An apparatus for endodontic treatment, comprising: a nozzle connected to a fluid source comprising: a tip small enough to be inserted into a pulp chamber of a tooth; an inner geometry which forms a flow parameters including non-axial flow direction of nozzle fluid flowing through the inner geometry such that discharge fluid discharged from the inner geometry increase rotation of root canal fluid within a root canal sufficiently to remove tissue from the root canal.
摘要:
An endodontic instrument for use in performing root canal therapy on a tooth, the instrument comprising: an elongate shank having a cutting edge extending from a distal end of the shank along an axial length of the shank, - wherein the shank consists essentially of a titanium alloy selected from alpha-titanium alloys, beta-titanium alloys, and alpha-beta-titanium alloys.

An electrical discharge irrigation device and method is described. An electrical discharge irrigation device includes a power source, a circuit coupled to the power source, and an output tip coupled to the circuit. The output tip includes a first end and a second end and a longitudinal axis extending between them, an electrode located in an interior space of the output tip configured to receive an electrical charge from the circuit and to release an electric discharge, and a ground return including an inner surface of the output tip, wherein a space between the electrode and the ground return comprises a conductive medium, the conductive medium being in contact with the electrode and the ground return to produce the electric discharge.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a non-superelastic file comprising the steps of: (i) providing a superelastic file having an austenite finish temperature; and (ii) heating at least a portion of the superelastic file to a temperature from 300 °C to 600 °C for a period of time from 5 minutes to 120 minutes to alter the austenite finish temperature thereby forming the non-superelastic file; wherein the altered austenite finish temperature of the non-superelastic file is from 20°C to 40°C; further comprising the step of (iii) cooling the portion of the non-superelastic file and (iv) heating at least a portion of the cooled non superelastic file to a temperature from 300 °C to 650 °C for a time period from 1 minute to 45 minute to shape-set the portion of the shaft thereby forming a shape-set non-superelastic nonlinear file.
摘要:
An electrical discharge irrigation device includes a power source to produce power of a first voltage, a circuit coupled to the power source to convert the power of the first voltage to power of a second voltage where the second voltage is higher than the first voltage, a trigger to activate the circuit, an igniter coupled to the circuit to produce a spike, an electrical charge storage component coupled to the igniter the electrical charge storage component becoming conductive and storing an electrical charge after receiving the spike, and an output tip. The output tip includes an electrode and insulating material as an outer layer.
摘要:
A rotatable endodontic file for cleaning/shaping a tooth root canal, comprising: an elongated shaft having a proximal end portion, a distal end and a tapered working portion having a rotational axis, the working portion extending from said proximal portion to said distal end; the external surface of said shaft working portion having a plurality of at least two spirals, a parallelogram-shaped cross section that has an axis of rotation that is asymmetric such that the center of mass (centroid) is not along the file axis.
摘要:
A tip assembly for use with a dental tool, the tip assembly comprising a housing for attaching to the dental tool, at least one aspiration needle having a passageway extending at least partially through the aspiration needle, a substantial length of the aspiration needle, or at least from one end to the other end of the aspiration needle, the passageway providing a single continuous path to aspirate the irrigant and/or debris from the root canal cavity of the tooth, and at least one irrigation needle having a passageway extending at least partially through the irrigation needle, a substantial length of the irrigation needle, or at least from one end to the other end of the irrigation needle, the passageway provides a continuous flow path for delivering fluid/irrigant from a reservoir in communication with a proximal end of the irrigation needle to the distal end of the irrigation needle and into a root canal/coronal opening of a tooth.
