    Abstract: A bite block with inclined surfaces fits between a patient's upper and lower jaws to hold them apart and fixes the bite block position relative to the jaws. A support plate slides relative to the bite block to position a needle guide on the support plate along an axis of the support plate. A position stop on the support plate contacts the anterior border of the Ramus of the patient's mandible to position the needle guide along the axis. A syringe needle is guided by the needle guide to a predetermined location to administer anesthetic, preferably to the inferior alveolar nerve as it enters the mandible. The needle guide is inclined to avoid gaging and a tongue depressor attached to the support plate positions the patient's tongue.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for a bite-safe dental care apparatus. The apparatus includes a three-dimensional body. The three-dimensional body is comprised of a substantially robust and flexible material. The apparatus includes at least one protruding member extending from the three-dimensional body. The at least one protruding member is configured to act as a bite block when inserted into a user's mouth. A width of the at least one protruding member is different than a thickness of the at least one protruding member such that the at least one protruding member props the user's mouth open at different positions when used as a bite block.

    Abstract: A dental retractor has molded flexural support members to provide upper lip, lower lip, and cheek retraction. The retraction provides unobstructed access and visibility for facial/labial areas of the mouth during dental procedures. The lips are prevented from touching gingival tissue and tooth structure. Lips and soft tissue are retracted and held safely away from dental tools. Labial retraction is provided by flexible members which, when positioned in the use position, provide elevation and retraction for the labial surfaces both maxillary and mandibular, the counteractive forces of the maxillary and mandibular support members keep the lips retracted and away from treatment areas. As the flexural support members are flexed for labial retraction, the medial portions of the support members bilaterally retract the cheeks due to the designed forces in the support members.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, an aspiration prevention system is configured to keep items from moving from a mouth of a patient into a throat of the patient. The system includes a mouth prop, a frame, and an air-permeable barrier. The mouth prop has a top surface configured to abut top teeth of the mouth, a bottom surface configured to abut bottom teeth of the mouth, and a frame coupling feature. The frame has a barrier retention feature configured to retain an air-permeable barrier, and a prop coupling feature that is attachable to the frame coupling feature of the mouth prop in a position in which the frame at least partially covers the throat.

    Abstract: An oropharyngeal dam for facilitating a safe and efficient dental treatment is disclosed. The oropharyngeal dam includes a pair of cheek retractors including an upper retractor component, a lower retractor component and a cheek retracting sheet. Further, the upper retractor component, the lower retractor component, the cheek retracting sheet, and a set of lip retractors are collectively configured to retract cheeks of a patient. The oropharyngeal dam includes a tongue protector including an upper protector component, a lower protector component and a tongue protecting sheet. Furthermore, the upper protector component, the lower protector component and the tongue protecting sheet are collectively configured to shield and retract a tongue of the patient. The set of lip retractors are configured to aid lip retraction when pulled outside the mouth.

    Abstract: A lip/cheek retainer particularly suitable for use with an intraoral scanner is provided, having a film made from an elastomer, a lip ring and a vestibular ring, with the film extending between the lip ring and the vestibular ring, being held taut by these and forming a tubular section between them. It is provided that the film (20) is prefabricated on the inner side (32) of its tubular section with a sliding element (36), in particular altering the surface of the film (20) there, produced by a surface treatment and firmly bonded to the film (20), with a sliding friction coefficient μG of less than 1.5, preferably less than 1.
