Abstract:
Methods of extracting teeth involving contacting, prior to extraction, the tissue surrounding a tooth to be extracted with a composition providing an agent capable of destroying the periodontal ligament surrounding the tooth, such as, collagenase.
Abstract:
A dental forceps that include an elongated handle and a pair of tooth engaging members or jaws extending out of the one end of the handle and a post located in the handle with a disc at the top with a ball at the other end of the post. The post ball end inserts into the post ball holder to provide a stable support so that the dentist has leverage to extract the tooth straight out. The post disc and post ball provide the forceps with side-to-side and back-and-forth movement, thus allowing the forceps to align to the growth angle of the tooth to be extracted.
Abstract:
A tooth removal cloth is disclosed that facilitates the removal of loose teeth. The tooth removal cloth comprises a moisture absorbing portion and a gripping portion. The gripping portion may include a textured surface. The gripping portion may also include folds for receiving fingers to affect the grip of the tooth removal cloth on a tooth.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a tool, kit and method for applying loading, torsional/twisting, oscillatory or vibration induced forces to a bond line established between a tooth root surface and an associated bone defined socket within which the tooth is held. Forces are applied typically for a given number of cycles or iterations in order to adequately pre-loosen the tooth from the bone. In a most basic variant, a body is adapted to being engaged by an output portion of a force applying tool. The body includes a pair of tooth engaging portions adapted to being inserted into contact with opposite surfaces of the tooth root surface and opposing surfaces associated with the bone receiving socket. The tool introduces loading forces to the engaging portions, causing the tooth to displace within the socket sufficiently to fracture the bond with the bone, thereby facilitating tooth removal.
Abstract:
Various Dental Extraction Burs are provided to practitioners to assist them in the extraction of a tooth or a portion of a tooth. Some Extraction Burs are embedded in a hole drilled in the tooth or portion of tooth, while others are attached to the surface of the tooth. After the Extraction Bur is attached to the tooth, the practitioner secures a handle to the Extraction Bur. Using the handle, the Extraction Bur and tooth or portion of tooth is removed from the patient.
Abstract:
An apparatus including a transducer head and a motion transfer member, and a method for rupturing connective tissues that attach a tooth to an alveolar bone socket are provided. The transducer head generates and transfers vibrational and tapping movements to the motion transfer member. The motion transfer member, extending from the transducer head via a neck of a transducer assembly, includes a ball projection and a flexible member. The ball projection connected to a distal end of the neck transfers the generated vibrational and tapping movements received from the transducer head to the tooth. The flexible member housing and surrounding the ball projection contacts a tooth surface and generally conforms to a shape of the tooth to distribute the generated vibrational and tapping movements uniformly in multiple directions on the tooth to rupture the connective tissues and allow the tooth to be loosened and removed from the alveolar bone socket.
Abstract:
A device for removing a loose tooth, the device including a handle, a base structure, and a retention strap, wherein the retention strap is secured about an outer surface of the loose tooth such that the base structure forms an interface with the tooth. The device further including features for increasing friction between the base structure and the tooth to prevent slippage while removing the tooth with the device.
Abstract:
A dental pliers design removing teeth and which incorporates a first jaw portion and a second and offsetting handle portion and which permits a rotating, rather than a pulling, force to be applied to a selected tooth or root tip and in order to more quickly and efficiently extract the tooth from the patient's mouth. An adjustable pad support portion is associated with the selected jaw and can further include a threaded bolt which is adjustable relative to a collar associated with the handle in directions towards and away from the jaw. One or more cushioning and replaceable insert can also be seated over a mounting pedestal supporting end of the stem.
