摘要： An oral burnisher includes a “U” shaped head at one end of the handle. The head includes a pair of substantially parallel side panels and a back panel covered by a thermoplastic elastomer sheath. The side panels include inwardly facing arrays of thermoplastic elastomer projections which extend from the sheath and the back panel includes an array of thermoplastic elastomer projections which extend from the sheath on its inner face. The outer face of the back panel is also provided with an array of thermoplastic elastomer projections which extend from the sheath. The thermoplastic elastomer sheath may be molded over the surface of the panels which are formed in one piece with the handle of a suitable plastic such as polypropylene. The projections of each array extend in the order of 1-2 mm. and have generally hemispherical tips such that the transverse dimension of the head is relatively small and can easily be accommodated in the oral cavity.

摘要翻译： 口腔抛光机在手柄的一端包括“U”形头部。 头部包括一对基本平行的侧板和由热塑性弹性体护套覆盖的后面板。 侧板包括向内延伸的热塑性弹性体突起的阵列，其从护套延伸，并且后面板包括从护套在其内表面上延伸的热塑性弹性体突起的阵列。 后面板的外表面还设置有从护套延伸的热塑性弹性体突起的阵列。 热塑性弹性体护套可以模制在面板的表面上，该表面与合适的塑料（例如聚丙烯）的把手形成为一体。 每个阵列的突起以1-2毫米的数量级延伸。 并且具有通常的半球形尖端，使得头部的横向尺寸相对较小并且可以容易地容纳在口腔中。

摘要： A colored dental floss that changes color when passed between the teeth. The dental floss is coated or impregnated with one or more agents that facilitate the color change by mechanically rubbing the floss against the oral hard tissue or by chemical reaction or both. In addition, the dental floss can be impregnated or coated with an agent that indicates the present of bacterial, disease, virus, infection or the like. Furthermore, the dental floss can be coated or impregnated with a medicament or anti-microbial agent for treat or prevention of disease and the like.

摘要： A flosser apparatus having a body with a first fork member and a second fork member, a flexible member interposed between the fork members, and a length of floss having one end affixed to the first fork member and an opposite end affixed to the second fork member. The flexible member is cooperative with the fork members such that the fork members move away from each other upon an application of a force onto the flexible member in a direction transverse to the direction of the length of floss. A surface on the flexible member is engageable with a surface of the body so as to fix the floss in a tightened condition.

摘要： An instrument delivery head for supporting hand-held instruments used in dental and other medical procedures. The instrument delivery head includes base and a lid connected to the base for movement between open and closed positions. Various instrument controls are supported by the lid so that the controls are accessible when the lid is opened. After the control adjustments are made, the lid is closed to conceal the controls within the instrument delivery head.
