Abstract: A dental implant cleaning apparatus includes: a wire bundle formed of flexible materials; a tube enclosing the wire bundle; and a driver connected to the wire bundle, to drive the wire bundle. Accordingly, a clean dental implant may be maintained after the dental implant is placed, and a lifespan of an implant may be extended by mechanically removing chemical and biological infections (pollutants) from a surface of the implant when the implant is infected.

Abstract: Dental retention systems which facilitate the adjustment or removal of an oral appliance, e.g., a crown or bridge, from a reconfigurable abutment assembly are described. The adjustable abutment assembly may be secured to an anchoring implant bored into the bones within the mouth. The abutment assembly has a projecting abutment portion with one or more shape memory alloy compression plates or elements extending along the projecting abutment portion. Each of the plates has a length with one or more straightened portions and with at least one curved or arcuate portion. Energy may be applied to the elements such that the arcuate portion self-flattens to allow for the oral appliance to be placed thereupon while removal of the energy allows the elements to reconfigure into its curved configuration thereby locking the oral appliance to the abutment. Removal of the oral appliance may be effected by reapplication of energy to the elements.

Abstract: An orthodontic archwire bracket having a first body (10) with a base (11) configured to be fixed to a tooth and a second body (20) with a central hollow portion (25) and a slot (21) formed by two slot portions (21a, 21b) on opposite sides of the central hollow portion (25). The slot (21) is configured to receive an archwire. A ball joint coupling connects the first and second bodies (10, 20). The second body (20) is made at least in part of a material with shape memory that maintains an original shape at body temperature thus locking the ball joint coupling, and acquires a deformable state at a temperature below body temperature. In one embodiment, the second body (20) further has retaining members (26) extending into each of the slot portions (21a, 21b) next to an inlet thereof.

Abstract: Oral appliance activation devices and methods which are used to facilitate the securement, adjustment, or removal of an oral appliance, e.g., a crown or bridge, from a reconfigurable abutment assembly are described. The adjustable abutment assembly may be secured to an anchoring implant bored into the bones within the mouth. The abutment assembly has a projecting abutment portion with one or more shape memory alloy elements extending along the projecting abutment portion. Energy may be applied to the elements via the activation devices directly over or adjacent to the oral appliance to actuate the elements and thereby either secure or loosen the oral appliance relative to the abutment.

Abstract: A dental retractor made of a shape memory material to be easily bended and restored to an initial shape under predetermined conditions is provided. The dental retractor includes a retraction portion made of nitinol or alloy including nitinol to be bendable and to have shape memory characteristics, and configured to hold gingival tissue by being supported by a tooth; a support portion connected to one side of the retraction portion to support the retraction portion; and a handle portion connected to the support part. Since the dental retractor is easily bent and variously deformed as necessary, convenience of a surgery may be increased. In addition, since the dental retractor is restored to the initial shape under the predetermined conditions after the surgery, convenience is increased.
