    Abstract: A dental instrument includes at least one removable or replaceable dental tip. The dental instrument includes a spring actuated collet and collar housed internally within a handle. The handle includes a handle center affixed to a center rod and a grip portion housing the collet and collar and a handle center affixed to a center rod. The center rod is affixed to the collet. The collet includes spring fingers that are biased radially inward by the collar to retain the dental tip. When the grip portion of the handle is rotated about a longitudinal axis of the handle relative to the handle center, camming surfaces associated with the grip portion and the handle center cause translational movement along the longitudinal axis to engage or disengage the collar from the collet.

    Abstract: This invention is a classic dental shepherd's hook explorer that has been fitted with a dycal style ball on the end, for a completely new instrument designed to facilitate exacting placement of cavity liners and bases, spreading flowable composite underneath fillings by the Dentist, and placing Interim Therapeutic Restorations (ITR) such as fluoride releasing glass ionomer by the Dentist or Registered Dental Hygienist Expanded Functions (RDHEF).Doctors then can reach over matrix bands and apply dental bases and liners, or spread flowable composite directly to the axial wall and pulp floor of their preps, and RDHEF's can access hard to reach interproxirnal, root and furcation areas to apply glass ionomer or other Interim Therapeutic Restorations where incipient caries have been hand excavated.

    Abstract: A tip-based computer controlled system for a dental delivery device is disclosed. The system automatically controls an operating characteristic such as power control or fluid flow based on tip identification and history. The operating characteristic may also be controlled in response to particular conditions throughout the dental procedure, such as (but not limited to) temperature, dental hygiene material, fluid type, etc. The system may provide an alert or shut off if unsafe conditions occur and/or error circumstances are detected. An operator interface is provided to configure the system and augment/override an executing control algorithm during a procedure. A method and a computer-readable storage medium are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A dental instrument comprises a handle member and a tool assembly. The handle member includes a first end, a second end and a longitudinal axis. The tool assembly extends from the first end of the handle member. The tool assembly comprises a tool arm, a first blade member and a second blade member. The tool arm has a proximal end extending from the first end of the handle and a distal end spaced therefrom. The first blade member extends away from the distal end of the tool arm and has a first flattened region. The second blade member extends away from the distal end of the tool arm and has a second flattened region. The first and second flattened regions are substantially perpendicular to each other in one dimension. The first blade member is configured for substantially transverse movement within a mouth of a patient. The second blade member is configured for substantially longitudinal movement within a mouth of a patient. Rotation of the handle member about the longitudinal axis thereof alternatively places one of the first and second blade member in an operative position.
