Abstract:
A syringe housing has a space that is sized for accommodating a syringe containing a fluid to be dispensed. The syringe is insertable into the syringe housing through an opening at a first end of the syringe housing, and a nozzle configured to engage a dispensing tip of the syringe is located at a second end of the syringe housing opposite to the first end. A syringe adaptor, which includes a pneumatic connector that is connectable to a gas supply for introducing a gas into an air chamber enclosed within the syringe housing and the syringe, is removably coupled to the syringe housing for retaining the syringe after it has been inserted into the syringe housing. The gas is operative in use to apply a force inside the syringe to drive dispensation of the fluid through the nozzle.
Abstract:
A dental cartridge, in particular for insertion into an injector, is configured with a cylinder body with a gripping shoulder at a first end face and with a cylinder chamber into which dental material can be filled, with a dispensing nozzle which is arranged on a second end face of the cylinder body opposite the gripping shoulder, wherein the cylinder body and the dispensing nozzle are connected via a joint. The joint is formed with a joint head in the form of a ball as part of the dispensing nozzle and with a complementary joint socket as part of the cylinder body at the second end face. The dispensing nozzle is swiveled in relation to the cylinder body in a swivel range about three axes x-y-z.
Abstract:
A method includes sending a dental impression kit to a user including dental trays of different sizes including a first set of dental trays having a first size and a second set of dental trays having a second size, a base putty, and a catalyst putty, where the base putty and the catalyst putty are mixable to form a putty mixture for creating dental impressions. The method includes receiving dental impressions created using the first set of dental trays, the first set of dental trays having been selected by the user based on a fit of a first dental tray of the first set on a dental arch of the user relative to a fit of a second dental tray of the second set, and manufacturing a plurality of dental aligners specific to the user and being configured to reposition one or more teeth of the user.
Abstract:
A dispenser for dispensing a liquid such as a tooth whitening gel can include a plunger and a housing having a first chamber that receives a first arm of the plunger and a second chamber that receives a second arm of the plunger. The housing can further include a first channel in fluid communication with the first chamber, a second channel in fluid communication with the second chamber, and a third channel formed at an intersection of the first and second channels. The housing can further include a static mixer than mixes a first liquid from the first chamber with a second liquid from the second chamber. The plunger may be disposed along a first axis and the third channel may be disposed along a second axis that intersects the first axis at an angle of between 10° and 170°.
Abstract:
A system for dispensing a dental material comprises a cartridge from which the dental material is extrudable. The cartridge comprises a operating means and an interface for transmitting a cartridge output based on a user input. The system further has a dental dispensing device having a receptacle for receiving the cartridge and an interface for receiving the cartridge output. The system helps maximizing reliability and maximizing safety in operation for dispensing dental material.
Abstract:
The invention is related to a cartridge adaptor which comprises a first dual-barrel cartridge, a housing, an adaptor and a second dual-barrel cartridge. The first dual-barrel cartridge comprises two openings and is disposed in the housing. The housing comprises a first fastening component. The adaptor has two inlets which opposite to the two inlets. The two inlets are respectively mounted into and communicate with the two openings of the first dual-barrel cartridge. The two outlets communicate with the two inlets. The second dual-barrel cartridge comprises two openings and a second fastening component which is complementary to the first fastening component of the housing. The two openings of the second dual-barrel cartridge communicates with the two outlets of the adaptor. The invention prevents the remaining unmixed component substances from oozing out of the two inlets or the two outlets of the adaptor during the transfer process of the remaining component substances.

Abstract:
A device for dispensing a dental substance comprises a chamber for the dental substance, a dispensing receptacle, and a dispensing outlet. The dispensing receptacle is shaped to define a predetermined volume capacity between the dispensing outlet and an opening of the receptacle. Thus the receptacle is adapted to receive a predetermined portion of the dental substance dispensed from the dispensing outlet. The device further is adapted such that for dispensing the portion of the dental substance the chamber is reducible in volume. The device may facilitate metering and dispensing of dental substances.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a tissue management impression material and a method of application into the sulcus of a patient, whereby the tissue management impression material is a part of the final dental impression made when manufacturing a dental device, such as a crown.
