Abstract: A compressible dental instrument to non-impressively adapt restorative material through compression comprises a handle portion (2), having a docking aperture (4) to interface with a highly compressible foam insert (10) with a docking extrusion and a tip holder (14) having highly compressible tip (16). A user can dock both to compressively adapt composite resin to a tooth's surface by first applying a restorative to a tooth and second applying the compressible portion to the restorative. Applied pressure compresses the tip to non-impressively micro manipulate composite resin.

Abstract: A finger mounted instrument cleaner (2) of the type having an elongated semi-circumferential protective body (4) to desirably wrap around a finger. The protective body (4) has a volume of absorbent foam or cleaning member (22) thereon and a securing means to engage a finger. The securing means comprises a semi-circumferential finger clasp (12) pivotably conjoined to a first side of said protective body by a flexible juncture or flexion pivot (10) and a clasp securing extension (18) contiguous to an opposing second side of said protective body. The finger clasp (12) and clasp securing extension (18) have a predetermined number of ratchet teeth formed thereon. Desirably pivoting said engaging clasp (12) to communicate with clasp securing extension (18) engages the ratchet teeth to form a variably interlocking circumferential union with said protective body (4).

Abstract: A disposable finger mounted instrument cleaner (2) of the type having a semi-circumferential protective body (4) with a swiping expanse (6) to generously occlude lateral and extensor aspects of a finger and a tapered gripping coil (10) to wrap around the flexor aspects of a finger. Attached to the swiping expanse is an adherent foam body (14) with a number of pressure sensitive grooves (18) and debris traps (16) so that an instrument can be inserted into the pressure grooves to deposit debris in the debris traps. In Addition, the foam body has a pocket (20) for thorough instrument immersion and for holding desired medicaments.

Abstract: A sharpening device for sharpening operative instrumentation having a gripping handle 4 and an acutely angled receptacle support 6, both of which form a radiated palmer contour 8, and both of which have flattened self balancing table rest 10 terminations. The hone receptacle 6 has an attached offset rectilinear container or whet-stone receptacle 12 with guard walls 16 that extend above a contained whet-stone 14. The instrument entry channel 18 is a shorter wall that allows full usage of the whet-stone surface without forcibly influencing sharpening angulations due to an excessively high wall. The offset receptacle support 6 and whet-stone receptacle 12 create two overhangs or a vertical locking rest 20 and a horizontal locking 22 rest that engage with a table. The locking rests coupled with the angled handle 4 receptacle support 6 and resultant palmer contour 8 permit two ergonomic holding positions that allow for both vertical and horizontal honing orientations.

Abstract: A direct resin veneer (2) for creating a veneer on a tooth surface comprising a thin planar expanse of an uncured restorative material, or direct resin veneer (4). The veneer (4) has a generally tooth configuration that is generously sized to permit adequate coverage for any tooth. Adhered to at least one side of the restorative material is a flexible pliant non-sticky planar sheath (6). The sheath (6) material has a curved gingival arch contour (10) for gum line alignment and various tab-like protrusions that permit placement upon a tooth. An inferior peeling tab (12) allows for sheath to be separated from the resin veneer (4) subsequent to tooth surface placement. And the lateral grasping tabs (16) permit delivery to a tooth's surface.

Abstract: A veneer applicator to compressively place and photo cure a restorative covering to a tooth to include a photo transmissible insert (2) having a compressible applicator (4) with at least one traversing aperture (6) and a photo transmissible insert shaft (14) to dock with an LED device (22). Docking the insert shaft (14) with the LED device (22) permits a photo curing spectrum to traverse the shaft (14) and compressible applicator (4) at least one aperture (6). This allows for direct surface bonding during veneer application.

Abstract: An instrument to compressively place and bond a restorative covering to the surface of a tooth including a gripping body (4) with a gently tapered mildly angled neck (6) having an applicator holder (8) with an attached compressible applicator with traversing photo cure apertures (12) to permit the passage of a photo curing light.
