Abstract: In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a mirror antiscratch protector case mountable on a dental mirror, having a spaced-away recess portion of an interior concave wall surface with spaced-apart points on the interior concave wall surface on each of opposite sides of the recess portion supportable of mirror bezel structure of mirror mounting structure, and having a biasing spring positioned to press a mounted dental mirror's mirror bezel structure against the spaced-apart points, and having a barrier structure pressing against a leading edge of the mirror bezel structure when the mirror is mounted within the protector case such that the reflective surface of the mounted mirror is retained opposite the recess portion, with opposite edges of the protector case in alignment with the spaced-apart points converging from a wide to narrow width of the protector case such that varying sizes of dental mirrors are received and such that narrower portions of the concave wall surface serve as the barrier structure.

Abstract: A dental mirror warmer to prevent fogging when the mirror is placed in a patient's mouth includes a housing with a cover having an opening. Below the opening is a heating well to receive the reflective end of the mirror. The well has a stainless steel wall connected to a transformer which supplies high current at low voltage to heat the wall. The supply to the transformer is controlled by a photoresponsive device responsive to insertion of the mirror and a timing circuit which permits current supply for a short heating interval. A temperature sensor shortens the interval when heating cycles are initiated frequently. The photoresponsive device is mounted in the housing in juxtaposition with a light transmissive opening in a wall of the heating well. The photoresponsive device includes a source of light arranged to direct light into the heating well through the opening and a photoresponsive element arranged to receive light reflected from the reflective surface of a mirror inserted into the heating well.

Abstract: A reflective device for use in a highly moisturized atmosphere is disclosed which comprises a moveable mirror, a housing for holding the mirror and a motor for moving the mirror with sufficient velocity to prevent accumulation of moisture droplets on the surface of the mirror.

Abstract: A dental mirror includes at its handle end a depressed surface having indicia markings thereon for measuring endodontic file or reamer depths.

Abstract: An inspection device for cavities comprises a body and an inspection mirror which is installed on said body and is designed to be rotatable as well as tiltable in relation thereto.
