Patent number: 8652445Abstract: A one-component prescription fluoride treatment composition having both fluoride efficacy and sensitivity relief is disclosed. The composition includes at least one metal fluoride and a nerve desensitizing agent such as potassium nitrate. The invention further includes a composition having at least one metal fluoride less than about 1.15% by weight of at least one metal fluoride; less than about 5 percent by weight of at least one alkali metal salt having desensitizing effect; at least one carrier; and at least one foaming agent that has thickening property. The composition may be formulated into a gel, a paste or any other convenient form, some of which contain abrasives.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2005Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Discus Dental, LLCInventors: Jeff MacDonald, Robert Hayman

Patent number: 8613616Abstract: A dental illumination system includes an adjustable self-supporting frame and a lamp head coupled to the frame. The lamp head includes a housing and a spacer having formations that is adapted to removably mechanically couple the lamp head to a reference device, again having formations, for facilitating illumination of a tooth by a light source contained within the lamp head. The spacer and lamp head may be formed integrally. If formed separately, both the lamp head and the spacer may include formations.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2007Date of Patent: December 24, 2013Assignee: Discus Dental, LLCInventors: Eric P. Rose, Robert Hayman, Stuart Karten, Dennis Schroeder, Steve Piorek, Douglas H. Grambush, Marc Orloff, Nancy N. Quan, Younes Shabany, William Dorfman, Kenneth Rosenblood, Dac Vu, Curt Kenneth Deckert, Brian Kennedy, Christopher N. Quan

Publication number: 20110059030Abstract: A two-component whitening system has a de-sensitizing effect as well as re-mineralizing capability. The system may be an unfoamed, a foamed or a foamable composition. The system has a first component with at least one peroxide compound, at least one source of phosphate and at least one gelling agent; and a second component with at least one source of calcium, strontium and/or mixtures thereof. The second component may also contain at least one gelling agent, and the composition maybe present as a foam or is foamable. The composition may be packed in a two-compartment syringe.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2010Publication date: March 10, 2011Applicant: DISCUS DENTAL, LLCInventors: Jeff MacDonald, Nancy N. Quan, Robert Hayman

Publication number: 20090233254Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat sink material that can more efficiently remove or divert heat from a light source or sources with a given weight of heat sink material when compared to a heat sink made of a solid block of thermally conductive material such as metal. It further relates to a heat sink that can more efficiently remove or divert heat from a curing light device when a reduced weight of heat sink material is used. The inventive heat sink has at least one suitable phase change material including organic materials, inorganic materials and combinations thereof. These materials can undergo substantially reversible phase changes, and can typically go through a large, if not an infinite number of cycles without losing their effectiveness.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2005Publication date: September 17, 2009Inventors: Robert Hayman, Younes Shabany, Eric P. Rose

Publication number: 20090152300Abstract: The present invention relates to multi-compartment devices having a pre-applied dispensing element. The device is adapted for dispensing multi-component compositions that are kept separate prior to use. Supplying a pre-applied dispensing element facilitates and simplifies the dispensing operation during use and reduces the chance of misuse due to improper application of the mixing element, loss and/or damage of the component.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2008Publication date: June 18, 2009Applicant: DISCUS DENTAL, LLCInventors: Robert Hayman, Eric P.

Publication number: 20090081610Abstract: The present invention is directed to dental prophylaxis devices that improve portability, maneuverability and aid in retaining clean conditions for use on dental patients, particularly to dental handpieces. The present invention is also directed prophylaxis or prophy angles for use with such handpieces. In general, a dental prophylaxis device includes a handpiece and a prophy angle which includes a driven shaft and a prophy cup attached for rotation thereto. The handpiece generally includes a body which houses a rotational source coupled to an output shaft which couples to the driven shaft in the prophy angle via angled gear interfaces on the output shaft and the driven shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2008Publication date: March 26, 2009Applicant: Discus Dental, LLCInventors: Robert Hayman, Rene Robert, Dave Pakula, Andy Marsella, Jorah Wyer, Christopher Quan

Patent number: 7499760Abstract: A dental lamp includes a control system adapted to control operation of a light source within the dental lamp. The control system requires that an unexpended light guide including a recordable medium be coupled to a lamp head of the dental lamp, in order to illuminate the light source. The control system records a first data signal on the recordable medium during illumination of the light source indicating that the light guide has been expended. The control system also records a second data signal onto a second recordable medium so that a particular duration of use of the light source may be indicated.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2005Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: Discus Dental, LLCInventors: Eric P. Rose, Robert Hayman, Bruce Sargeant

Publication number: 20090023107Abstract: The present invention relates to a unique solution for relieving repetitive stress to dental professionals during the course of a day and is directed to sets of identical instruments, having handles made with varying diameters for grasping, designed to be used interchangeably throughout the day, thus cutting down on the repetitive grasping action through the change of grasp. Therefore, even if a dental professional uses the same type of instrument throughout the day, the hands, wrists and elbows can experience varying rather than repetitive action because the positioning of the hands, wrists and elbows are interchanging throughout the day. The dental instrument may also be ergonomically designed. Additionally, the instrument may also have a vibratory module. Further, a rotator may also be implemented.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2007Publication date: January 22, 2009Applicant: Discus Dental, LLC.Inventors: Robert Hayman, Ken Rosenblood
