摘要:
A dental bur (10) and method for removing a soft deposit from a tooth or an implant, the bur (10) having a shank (14) adapted to be connected to a rotary device (20). A head (12) extends from the shank (14). The head (12) has a material hardness adapted to remove soft deposits attached to the tooth but deflect against the tooth. Furthermore, the head (12) is sized for insertion into a periodontal pocket (66) adjacent to the tooth without surgery. Thus, the dental bur (10) may be rotated against the tooth for removing the soft deposits but deflect and/or wear against the tooth for preventing damage to the tooth.
摘要:
A vibrating applicator is provided for applying a dental composite material onto a tooth. The applicator has an elongated body and a tip that is coupled to the elongated body to apply the dental composite material onto the tooth. The applicator further has a vibrating apparatus for vibrating the tip and a sensor for sensing a condition of the dental composite material. A controller is operatively coupled to the vibrating apparatus and to the sensor and is configured to automatically vary an output frequency of the vibrating apparatus in response to the condition sensed by the sensor.
摘要:
The dental matrix band 10 includes an elongated body 12 having first and second opposing ends 14a,b adapted to wrap around a tooth to be restored, and having first and second opposing longitudinal edges 16a,b extending between the first and second opposing ends 14a,b. The dental matrix band 10 further includes a first line of weakness 18 in the elongated body 12 where the elongated body 12 is separable along the first line of weakness 18. The dental matrix band 10 incudes a fixture 24 adjacent the first line of weakness 18. The dental matrix band 10 may further include a second line of weakness 20. The dental matrix band 10 may include an annealed section.
