Abstract: Fluid distributions implement to evenly wear down dental decay, diseased tissue, or undesired dentin in oral applications with live patients. The dentist has adjustable control over both the intensity and distribution field of a low-pressure sterile fluid, which may contain a pre-determined amount of reductive elements held in suspension. The implement must be supplied with a source of power and feed line of the chosen fluid. When switched on, it delivers one or a plurality of rapid bursts of varying impact strength in such a quick manner that the entire impact zone receives an even distribution of the liquid bursts. The desired result is the severe reduction in cratering, gouging, and non-symmetrical damage introduced by implements of the prior art such as drills, jet-stream fluid delivery systems, and tissue sanders with less danger of structural impairment to the patient in these cases of comparison.

Abstract: This application relates to the field of dentistry, and in more particular to the field of prosthetic dentistry. The application describes the same day insertion of a novel tooth socket dental implant following the atraumatic extraction of a tooth. The nonmetallic implant is manufactured of UHMWPE to be a biological copy or alias of the extracted tooth, and is suitable for later fitting of a prior-art porcelain cap to an abutment on the exposed end of the implant. The lower contact surface of the novel implant is pocked with shallow excavations to allow the living tissues inside the socket to expand into them as an enhanced means of natural adhesion. Alternately or together with the excavations, thin strips, strands, or mesh sections of titanium are vertically flush mounted along the contact surface to promote osseointegration.

Abstract: This application relates to the field of Dentistry, and in more particular to the use of root canal excavating implements such as files, broaches, reamers, or probes employed for the use of clearing tissue and removing dentin from the nerve canal of teeth. An introduced bent tip of 45 degrees to the angle of the implement, at a distance as close as a half of one millimeter from the leading tip, is cited as an improved means to get the tip of the implement to the desired working length.

Abstract: This application relates to a dental apparatus for the initial and subsequent guidance of hypodermic needles, or similar drug delivery devices into the cortical plate of human mandibular and maxillary bones. The invention comprises a solid drill bit bearing a channeling groove along the majority of the shaft. The groove is scalloped at its delivery end to flex the needle tip and deflect the tip out from the drill and into the desired tissue. Variations are described, with the preferred embodiment having the circumference of the drill bit reduced in girth for the length bearing the groove. This permits an inexpensive plastic covering which serves as a practical seal against bacteria. The seal is permeable to the needle's tip and closes back on itself after withdrawal of the needle.
