摘要:
An oral suction device provides an oral suction screen over the oral cavity of a patient by providing upper and lower suction wings attached to a manifold. The wings are inserted between the upper and lower lips and arches of a patient, respectively, and serve to capture aerosols which would otherwise be ejected from the oral cavity. A tongue/cheek retractor, also in pneumatic communication with the manifold, serves to extract saliva and other products from the oral cavity while also preventing the tongue and cheeks from ingress of the workspace for the dental procedure.

A device, and method of using same, to evacuate aerosols generated proximate to teeth of a patient during dental procedures, including a central housing having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end defines a proximal housing opening and the distal end defines a distal housing opening having a first open area. The housing defines (i) at least one housing side port on each side of the housing and (ii) at least one internal passage in fluid communication with the distal housing opening, the proximal housing opening, and the housing side ports. The proximal end of the housing is shaped to be connectable to a conduit for a source of negative pressure. The device further includes a right-side cheek retractor and a left-side cheek retractor, each retractor defining a concave buccal-side surface, a convex oral-side surface, a retractor chamber, and at least a first arc of retractor openings (i) positioned along a portion of the oral-side surface, (ii) communicating with the retractor chamber, and (iii) having a first distribution of total open area along that retractor. A right-side arm extends between the housing and the right-side cheek retractor to support the right-side cheek retractor at a substantially fixed distance from the housing, and a left-side arm extends between the housing and the left-side cheek retractor to support the left-side cheek retractor at a substantially fixed distance from the housing. At least one right-side passageway connects one of the housing side ports with the retractor chamber of the right-side cheek retractor, and at least one left-side passageway connecting one of the housing side ports with the retractor chamber of the left-side cheek retractor.

An intra-oral appliance, an internal member and an external member is provided. The internal member can include a tongue crib, a poseable first arm connected at a first end to the back end of the tongue crib, and a poseable second arm connected at a first end to the back end of the tongue crib. The poseable first arm and the poseable second allow the tongue crib to be moved into a position and held in the position. The external member can include a first lip retractor, a second lip retractor, a first retractor flange, a second retractor flange and connectors attachable to the first arm and the second arm of the internal member.

A dental suction assisting device includes an upper molar seat located at an upper portion of a body and having anti-separation protrusions and a space for allowing seating of upper molars, a lower molar seat located at a lower portion of the body and having anti-separation protrusions and a space for allowing seating of lower molars, a fastening portion having an insertion hole and a through-hole and allowing fastening of a suction tube, a suction port having a first suction hole and allowing secretions in an oral cavity to be sucked through the suction tube, a leg formed at each side of the lower molar seat, configured such that the respective legs are brought into intimate contact with opposite side surfaces of the lower molars and having partitions, and a wing extending from the leg, and seated between the lower molars and skin in the oral cavity.
摘要:
A system for lip retraction and aerosol reduction, including a mouthpiece with an integrated single-lip retractor and aerosol suction head, single-lip internal retentive wings and external retentive wings configured to support and secure the mouthpiece in a mouth of a patient, and comfort retention notches formed between the internal retentive wings and external retentive wings to enhance comfort of the patient and to secure the mouthpiece in the mouth of the patient. The system includes a High-Volume Evacuator (HVE) valve stem configured for attachment to an HVE suction tube to provide suction for the aerosol reduction.
摘要:
A method of making a custom dental clamp, the method comprising producing a first clamp member using data from a scan of a patient's tooth, the first clamp member having at least one surface shaped to conform to a first surface of the tooth, producing a second clamp member using data from the scan, the scan clamp member having at least one surface shaped to conform to a second surface of the tooth, and connecting the first clamp member to the second clamp member with a resilient member.

A combination refractor includes an operational unit, a neck region and a handle region. The operational unit further includes a tongue retractor and a flap retractor. The tongue retractor may be concave to provide for a natural area to encapsulate the tongue. The tongue and flap refractors may also be provided as part of a continuous planar extension of the operational unit or may be disposed on different planes. The flap retractor may be formed of a tapered extended edge or tab, which can be made in various lengths and include a beveled edge. A suction mechanism may be added for eliminating fluids. The neck region may contain an S-shaped bend or lateral bends for better operative functionality and ergonomics. The proximal end of the handle region, opposite the operational unit, may further include any useful apparatus, such as a periosteal elevator or periosteal retractor.

摘要:
The present invention involves an intraoral illumination device and method for illuminating the interior cavity of a patient's mouth during a medical procedure. The illumination device includes a bite block adapted to be engaged by a patient's teeth for resting the patient's jaw during the medical procedure and fixing the bite block within the patient's mouth. An arcuate light dispersion piece is connected to the bite block so that, in use, the light dispersion piece is orientated in a rear, central part of the oral cavity of the patient's mouth so that dispersed light can be transmitted outward from the rear, central part of the oral cavity. A tongue and cheek retractor is adapted to retract and protect the patient's tongue and adjacent cheek tissue during the medical procedure. Multiple fluid evacuation channels are carried by the device and are adapted to communicate with the interior cavity of the patient's mouth for removing fluids from the oral cavity during the medical procedure.

A dental isolation tray has an outer side wall, an inner side wall, and a roof which joins the inner and outer side walls. An aspiration conduit having spaced apart aspiration ports is molded into the peripheral edges of the side walls and into the interface between the interior side wall and the roof. An aspiration coupling is provided for fluidly connecting the aspiration conduit with a suction tube. A portion of the roof and outer side wall is pre-cut to expose the occlusal and buccal aspects of preselected teeth. An adjustable bite block is mounted on or adjacent to the roof of the tray and extends substantially perpendicular to the roof of the tray. The full arch tray may have one or two quadrants cut-out and may be placed on either the upper or the lower arch to completely cover the arch and associated alveolar ridge. A single quadrant tray may be formed as either a left hand tray or a right hand tray and can also be placed over either upper or lower arches. The tray is dimensioned to provide relatively generous spacing between the side walls and the teeth so that the lingual aspect of the teeth which are exposed by the cut-out are accessible while still being isolated from the patient's tongue.
