摘要:
The present invention relates to a handheld dental instrument having a movable tip portion including one end rotatably secured to a distal end of a handle portion and an opposing end defining a tip including a tip member adapted for intra oral use whereby the tip can be rotated and fixedly positioned at various locations about an axis. The tip member and/or tip portion optionally may be removable.

A vibrating dental instrument is provided that may be used with different styles of tips for performing different dental procedures. The dental instrument has an elongated body and a tip that is releasably coupled to the elongated body. The dental instrument further has a vibrating apparatus for vibrating the tip and a sensor for sensing a condition of a dental composite material when the tip is used to apply the dental composite material onto a tooth. 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 includes an elongated body having first and second opposing ends adapted to wrap around a tooth to be restored, and having first and second opposing longitudinal edges extending between the first and second opposing ends. The dental matrix band further includes a first line of weakness in the elongated body where the elongated body is separable along the first line of weakness. The dental matrix includes a fixture adjacent the first line of weakness. The dental matrix band may further include a second line of weakness. The dental matrix band may include an annealed section.
摘要:
A dental dam clamp comprises first and second spaced, opposing jaws and respective first and second tooth engaging portions on the jaws. The first and second tooth engaging portions are positioned in confronting relation to one another and are biased toward one another by a resilient member when the jaws are moved outwardly from a free state defining a first position of the jaws. In one embodiment, first ends of the tooth engaging portions are spaced closer together than the second ends of the tooth engaging portions when the jaws are in the first position. The spacing between the first ends of the tooth engaging portions may be substantially the same as the spacing between the second ends of the tooth engaging portions when the jaws are moved outwardly to a second position. In another embodiment, the tooth engaging portions include friction-increasing surfaces to help secure the clamp to a tooth.

摘要:
A device for interproximal separation and matrix band adaptation and retention for use in a dental restoration procedure. The device includes a pair of integral wedge elements and a pair of cushion elements that together achieve simultaneous separation, adaptation and retention. A system is also provided including the device and a matrix band. A method of preparing a tooth for restoration is also provided that includes placement of the matrix band and positioning of the device to adapt the matrix band to a tooth to be prepared and retain it in its properly adapted position while simultaneously separating the tooth to be restored from an adjacent tooth.
摘要:
A dental sensor clamp has a clamp body with a connector on one end for connecting the sensor clamp to a bite plate. A clamp body opposite end has a fixed stop locatable adjacent an apical area of a tooth. A clamping slide is mounted within a thickness of the clamp body, and the clamping slide supports a member providing a resilient clamping force upon the member being moved against the sensor and the fixed stop. The dental sensor clamp reliably secures an imaging sensor adjacent the apical area of the tooth.
