Abstract: Dental instruments and appliances are manufactured from a superelastic alloy, which includes atoms from the group IVB and group VB transition metals and oxygen so as to exhibit superior strength and flexibility. The metal alloys are cold worked to increase the tensile strength of the dental instruments and appliances. Cold working the metal also increases the flexibility of the dental instruments and appliances and prevents work hardening. Dental instruments made from the superelastic alloy exhibit higher strength, flexibility, resistance to work hardening, and biocompatibility compared to dental instruments made from nickel-titanium alloys. In one particular example a super-elastic endodontic file is described.

Abstract: This invention takes advantages of color characteristics of medical devices for the cosmetic and indication purposes. For example, the appearances of the metallic brackets used in orthodontics are improved with colors other than the original metallic color by surface treatment using plasma techniques. For example, orthodontic brackets are made with piezochromic materials. When the archwire's torsion and bending forces are fading due to the movement of the teeth, the color of the pressure sensitive brackets will be changed, and the need of archwire's readjustment to have proper torsion and bending forces is signalized. For example, rehabilitation equipments are made with piezochromic materials. When the pressures exerting on the rehabilitation equipments are different, different colors of the equipments are displayed, and the therapists can then act accordingly.

Abstract: A harvested botanic offshoot has a first end with a portion thereof stripped of bark forming a botanic cleaning component that is adapted for insertion into a human mouth for dental cleaning. A proximal end of the offshoot can be carved down in size and releasably installed in a socket or internal channel inside a dental cleaning assembly. A motor inside the dental cleaning assembly can vibrate, oscillate or rotate the botanic cleaning component inside a user's mouth. The dental cleaning assembly has an opening arranged to allow at least a portion of the botanic cleaning component to extend outside the body portion of the dental cleaning assembly.
