摘要:
A dental pin and bushing assembly for coupling of a removable die of a tooth to a working cast. The pin includes an axially extending head that can be secured in the die. The bushing is secured in the working cast, and includes an elongated sleeve with an interior shape for receiving the pin. A collar depends from the head of the pin for positionally locating the pin in a recess in the elongated sleeve. A body of the pin depends from the collar, and is co-axial with the head portion. An interior annular ring in the elongated sleeve mates with an annular groove of the pin when the collar portion is fully seated in the recess. The geometries of the annular ring and groove are such that the interior annular ring snaps into the annular groove, and thereby provides tactile feedback to the dental technician signaling that the pin is fully seated in the bushing.

A pliable dispensing bag (10) containing a flowable material (12) includes an internal rigid adaptor plate (14) having an offset or asymmetric integral nozzle (36) through which the flowable material may be extruded. The deformable material of the bag (10) is clamped around a collar (30) provided at the base of the nozzle (36) so as to form a permanent first leakproof seal. Additional material from the foil bag (12) is gathered at the top of a cap (38) fitted over the nozzle (36) and clamped (54) against the top of the cap (38) to form a removable or temporary second seal and to further hold the cap in place on the nozzle.
摘要:
An impression tray (10) for making impressions of the upper and lower teeth. The tray includes a mouthpiece (13) and a handle (12). The mouthpiece (13) includes an outer wall (14), inner wall (16) and a base (18) connected between the walls (14, 16) at a bottom thereof. The walls (14, 16) each have vertical slits (54, 68) spaced along their length. Each slit (54, 68) has a shoulder (60, 73) therein providing an interlock for the impression material displaced therethrough. The base (18) includes ribs (88) on its top, each rib (88) extending between the walls (14, 16) and alternating with the slits (54, 68) on the walls. Between each adjacent pair of ribs (88) are two holes (90) extending through the base (18). The base (18) is also attached, on its bottom, to a platform structure. The platform structure provides a flat surface for the tray and forms reservoirs (102) around the base holes (90). The combination of the ribs (88) and the platform structure provides a rigid structure, thereby producing an impression with a minimal possibility of deformation.
摘要:
A sealing attachment for connection of a static mixer to a dual chamber cartridge dispenser containing separate, different materials. There is an outer sleeve (12) with a rotatable connection to a center plug (14) positioned inside a collar (20) of the outer sleeve (12). The center plug includes hollow male prongs (32, 34) which engage outlets (108, 110) of the cartridge(s) (100) to form a seal therewith. The outer sleeve has tabs (24, 26) on the outside of the collar (20) for engagement with locking arms (126, 128) on a discharge end of the cartridge(s) (100) when the hollow male prongs (32, 34) are placed within the outlets (108, 110) of the cartridge(s) (100).

摘要:
A disinfectant and flush system for a dental waste evacuator (10) comprises a container (20) filled with disinfectant (22) and connected to the interior of a main flow tube (12) of the evacuator, positioned between a disposable mouth piece (14) and a suction source (16). A control valve (38) is installed between a tubing (24) leading from the disinfectant container (20) and the main flow tube (12), which ensures that the disinfectant (22) is admitted into the main flow tube (12) during operation of the evacuator to flush the tube (12) continually or intermittently.
摘要:
A container (10) for cleaning dentures, dental or medical instruments, or the like is formed as a plastic bag (2) which is filled with a cleaning solution and immersed together with dentures, instruments, or the like placed therein in a fluid of an ultrasonic cleaning device (30). The container (10) is provided with an opening receiving the dentures, instruments, or the like and is sealingly closable by a closure such as a slide fastener (4). A number of such containers (10) may be placed into a tray (20) and immersed into the ultrasonic cleaning device (30), wherein the bags (2) are subjected to ultrasonic vibrations transmitted to the cleaning solution inside the bags (2) to thereby clean the articles in the bags (2).
摘要:
Pivot dentaire (24) permettant de fixer solidement une prothèse dentaire sur une racine de dent préparée. Le pivot dentaire (24) est constitué d'une tige cylindrique (26) allongée munie d'un filetage discontinu qui prend sur la dentine de la racine et de surfaces d'appui (40) situées entre les filets.
摘要:
A dental post for securely retaining a dental restoration in a prepared tooth stub. The dental post (26) is formed of an elongated cylindrical rod having an active threaded portion (38) and a passive portion (42). The dental post is threadedly engaged with a sleeve (62) secured in the tooth stub, which sleeve has at least an active threaded portion.
