Abstract:
A kit for assembling a variety of dental devices using a plurality of delivery tips that differ from one another as to either size or type. The kit also includes a plurality of differently sized syringes each being releasably attachable to any one of the plurality of delivery tips. An organizer displays the syringes and delivery tips in such way that the size and type of syringe and delivery tip desired is easily identifiable. The kit may include adapters which connect any of the plurality of delivery tips to either a vacuum source or to an air bulb. The delivery tips may be color coded such that the size and type of delivery tip is indicated by the color code of the delivery tip.
Abstract:
An orthodontic bracket and method of making same. The bracket comprises a main body portion made of a rigid plastic material having a filler for improved strength. The bracket further includes a rigid reinforcement molded into the body for strengthening the archwire slot. The method comprises forming at least one insert in a blank sheet of metal, forming the insert to its final configuration, placing the insert in a mold cavity and forming the bracket around the insert, removing the bracket from the mold and separating the bracket from the sheet of metal at a predetermined point.

수술용 핸드피스(120)에 장착되는 초음파 팁(130)과 일치하는 초음파 파워 및 진폭을 선택하기 위해서, 이 팁(130)은 식별부재(140)용 하우징을 형성하는 공동부(131)를 구비한다. 식별부재는 진동 및 소독온도를 견딜 수 있도록 130℃보다 높은 용융온도를 가진 탄성재료로 만들어진다. 이 식별부재(140)는 팁과 함께 사용되기에 적합한 초음파 파워 및 진폭에 상응한 색상 또는 무늬를 나타내고 있다.
Abstract:
[PROBLEMS] To provide a dental grinding bar that does not need forming of a groove for paint coating in an identification part and inhibits detachment of the paint from the identification part. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The dental grinding bar is one comprising bar base metal (11); grinding part (11b) with abrasive grains stuck fast thereto, disposed in the distal end portion of the base metal; and identification part (11a) being an outer circumferential part of the base metal abutting on the grinding part, the identification part coated with a color paint, wherein the identification part (11a) is coated with a thickness uniform in the circumferential direction and, in the axial direction, in the form of angle curve in which the center portion of the identification part (11a) is thick. Consequently, forming of a groove for paint coating in the identification part is not needed, and detachment of the paint from the identification part can be inhibited.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dental fitting (1, 1', 101, 101', 101") attachable to a dental component (30), such as a dental implant. The dental fitting (1, 1', 101, 101', 101") comprises a main body (2, 2') and a retention element (4, 104, 104', 104") provided apically to the main body (2, 2'). The retention element (4, 104, 104', 104") comprises an attachment portion (6, 106, 106', 106") for attaching the dental fitting (1, 1', 101, 101', 101") to the dental component (30). The retention element (4, 104, 104', 104") has a closed ring shape or an open ring shape in a cross-section perpendicular to the direction from the attachment portion (6, 106, 106', 106") towards a coronal end (8) of the main body (2, 2'). The attachment portion (6, 106, 106', 106") comprises at least one projection (10, 110, 110', 110") extending in one or more directions substantially perpendicular to the direction from the attachment portion (6, 106, 106', 106") towards the coronal end (8) of the main body (2, 2'). The at least one projection (10, 110, 110', 110'') has a coronal surface which is inclined relative to the direction from the coronal end (8) of the main body (2, 2') towards the attachment portion (6, 106, 106', 106'') at an angle of less than 90°. The retention element (4, 104, 104', 104") is integrally formed with or integrally attached to the main body (2, 2').
