Patent number: 10835351Abstract: A method of taking a dental impression of dentition including conditioning a surface comprising one or more of dentition and a dental appliance by the application thereto of a wetting agent to form a controlled hydrophilic wet film. The wetting agent includes water, a surfactant, and an additive. The controlled hydrophilic wet film is hydrophilic and is formed by brushing the wetting agent onto the dentition. The brushing controls the thickness and hydrophilicity of the controlled hydrophilic film to a thickness and hydrophilicity that is capable of inducing flow of an impression material that comes into contact with the controlled hydrophilic film. The flow is sufficient to flow into sub-gingival places. The film is contacted with a dental impression material selected from the group consisting of hydrophilic and hydrophobic dental impression materials.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2019Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Inventor: Alan Ara Boghosian

Publication number: 20070010774Abstract: A device includes a stationary housing. A carriage is slidable mounted on to the housing and at least one corrugated diaphragm mechanism is housed in the housing and connectable to the carriage. The corrugated diaphragm is structured to elastically expand and retract, depending on an application of pressure, to extend and retract, respectively, the carriage relative to the stationary housing. A manifold is provided to connect the corrugated diaphragm to a pump system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2006Publication date: January 11, 2007Applicant: CARE REHAB & ORTHOPEDIC PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Christian HUNT, Ara BOGHOSIAN, John SPADAVECCHIA

Publication number: 20060182306Abstract: A process of conditioning a corrugated diaphragm adapted for use in a traction device in order to impart a spring force. The process includes obtaining a neutral state corrugated diaphragm with a length of predetermined size. The process further includes heating the corrugated diaphragm at a predetermined temperature and time to reduce the overall length of the corrugated diaphragm and increase a minor and major diameter of the corrugated diaphragm. The process further includes having the corrugated diaphragm installed on the traction device at a length greater than the reduced overall length and less than the neutral state.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2006Publication date: August 17, 2006Applicant: CARE REHAB & ORTHOPEDIC PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Christian HUNT, Ara BOGHOSIAN, John SPADAVECCHIA
