摘要:
The invention relates to equipment and in preferred embodiments to equipment used in dentistry. In particular it relates to an apparatus for determining the location of the apex of a dental root canal wherein the apparatus allows the acquisition of more accurate data in a shorter time span.
摘要:
A system for determining and storing a dental root canal depth measurement comprising: at least one electronic apex locator configured to locate the apex of a dental root canal; a dental instrument configured to be inserted into the dental root canal, up to the apex thereof; and a remotely located data storage unit configured to store data concerning the root canal apex. Data concerning the apex of the root canal may be transmitted from the apex locator to the data storage unit via Bluetooth transmission and may be exhibited on a display, along with the depth measurement of the root canal and a digital x-ray showing the location of the dental instrument in the root canal.

A dental unit comprises: a chair (2); a base (3) positioned next to the chair (2) and mounting main or auxiliary equipment; a handpiece tray (4) holding a plurality of operating or auxiliary handpieces (5), including a handpiece (6) adapted to impart sonic or ultrasonic vibrations to a file tip (7) applicable to the handpiece (6) and used for treating root canals (8); a unit (9) for measuring a given value (V) of an electrical quantity generated, in combination, by a first pole defined by the tip (7) positioned in the root canal (8) and a second pole defined by a reference element (10) positioned in the oral cavity and connected at the other end to the dental unit (1); a unit (11) for processing a respective signal (S) sent by the measuring unit (9) as a function of the value (V) of the electrical quantity in such a way as to transduce the signal (S) into a value H corresponding to the distance between the tip (7) and the apex of the root canal (8); means (12) for detecting the distance value (H), connected to the processing unit (11) and designed to at least issue a proportional audio/video signal (S1) as a function of the distance (H) between the tip (7) and the root canal apex.
摘要:
An apparatus that indicates a proximity of a dental instrument in a tooth’s root canal to the canal’s apical foramen while using the dental instrument to perform a dental/medical procedure. The apparatus includes a signal generator that provides divider signal across a first node and a third node, and a reference impedance coupled between the first node and a second node. The second node and third node include configuration for electrically coupling between a tip of the dental instrument and an electrode coupled with a body tissue of the patient, a stimulation signal being defined across the second node and the third node. The apparatus also includes a microprocessor operable to compare the stimulation signal and the divider signal, and generate a proximity signal in response to the comparison, and a proximity indicator that indicates the proximity of the dental instrument to the apical foramen in response to the proximity signal.

The present invention relates to a dental head unit capable of measuring a root canal length of a patient. The head unit includes a head section having a sleeve rotatably supported therein for detachably holding a cutting tool therein, a neck section extending proximally from the head section and having a proximal end for connecting to a handpiece body, a contact capable of detachably contacting the cutting tool for providing electric connection to the cutting tool when in contact, and a contact holder fixed to a proximal end of the contact and axially slidable with respect to the neck section. The contact holder has a lead attachment to which a lead for electrically connecting the contact to a root canal length measuring device is detachably attached. The present invention also relates to a contact holder assembly including the contact and the contact holder.
摘要:
A dental glue, glue injector, and device for detecting injected glue are disclosed. The dental glue contains an electroconductive material. The glue injector (1) can contain an electroconductive glue (D) and includes an electroconductive member for electrically connecting the electroconductive glue (D) to an external electrode. The device comprises a current detector (101) for measuring the current flowing through the electroconductive glue (D) contained in the injector (1) and a current indicator (105) for indicating the current.
