Abstract: A dental device system includes a dental device configured to transmit data via a narrowband network to a computing device that outputs a notification indicative of a device management operation. The dental device system includes a computing device and a dental device. The dental device includes a sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a condition of the dental device and communication circuitry configured to receive the signal from the sensor and transmit data indicative of a health of the dental device via a narrowband network to the computing device. The computing device is configured to determine, based on the data indicative of the health of the dental device, the health of the dental device; determine, based on the health, a device management operation; and output a notification indicative of the device management operation.

Abstract: A system (1) for washing a 3D-printed object (4). The system (1) has a washing device (2) and a workpiece (3) that includes the 3D-printed object (4). The washing device (2) has a container (7) that forms a process chamber (8) for receiving a liquid cleaning agent (9), and the container (7) has an inlet (10) into the process chamber (8). The workpiece (3) further has a support structure (6) that supports the 3D-printed object (4) and a base (5) supporting the support structure (6). The base (5), in a mating relationship with the inlet (10), forms a restraint preventing the workpiece (3) from passing through the inlet (10) in a situation in which the workpiece (3) is placed with the 3D-printed object (4) located within the process chamber (8).
