Abstract: A water purification system provides clean water for the consumption by livestock by using a continuously recirculating water loop. A circulating pump moves the water within the water loop in a flow direction. A particle filter system is fluidically connected in series and removes dissolved solids or particulates within the water. An ozone purification system and/or with the addition of other antimicrobial or purification agents is fluidically connected in parallel to a portion of the continuously recirculating feedback monitored and control water loop. The ozone purification system is disposed downstream of the particle filter system in relation to the flow direction. A feeding station is connected in series with the continuously recirculating water loop disposed downstream of the ozone purification system in relation to the flow direction. An alkaline water apparatus is disposed upstream of the ozone purification unit, connected either before or in parallel to the ozone purification system.
Abstract: A water purification system provides clean water for the consumption by livestock by using a continuously recirculating water loop. Optionally, a circulating pump moves the water within the water loop in a flow direction. A water supply inlet is fluidically connected to the water loop to provide additional water. A particle filter system (or systems) is fluidically connected in series and removes dissolved solids or particulates within the water. An ozone purification system and/or with the addition of other antimicrobial or purification agents is fluidically connected in parallel to a portion of the continuously recirculating feedback monitored and control water loop. The ozone purification system is disposed downstream of the particle filter system and RO (or similar) system in relation to the flow direction. A feeding station is connected in series with the continuously recirculating water loop disposed downstream of the ozone purification system in relation to the flow direction.
Abstract: A method for treating root canals includes directing an oxidizing gas onto an open root canal through a needle, maintain a presence of the oxidizing gas onto the root canal for a period of time sufficient to kill microorganisms therein, and preventing escape of the oxidizing gas from the root canal. Apparatus for a treatment of root canals includes a source of oxidizing gas, a handpiece, a needle extending from said handpiece and receivable in a tooth root canal. The needle includes an oxidizing gas delivery lumen therethrough, and a cup is attached to the handpiece and surrounding the needle.
Abstract: A method of treating gum disease, includes directing a stream of oxidizing gas onto a diseased gum for a period of time sufficient to kill microorganisms.
Abstract: A method of treating mouth ulcerations, includes directing a stream of oxidizing gas onto mouth ulcerations for a period of time sufficient to kill microorganisms.
Abstract: A method of treating bad breath, includes directing a stream of oxidizing gas onto mouth tissue for a period of time sufficient to kill microorganisms.
Abstract: Method and apparatus for the whiting of teeth includes a source of oxidizing gas and a handpiece for delivering the gas to a tooth. A cup attached to the handpiece is provided for receiving the gas and exposing a selected area of the tooth to the gas. The cup includes a resilient edge for sealably the edge for engaging the tooth around the selected area to prevent escape of a gas therepast.
Abstract: A method of treating gum disease, includes directing a stream of oxidizing gas onto human dental and oral conditions for a period of time sufficient to kill microorganisms within said inflamed human tissue.
Abstract: A method of treating dental carries and remineralizing lesions includes the steps of directing a stream of oxidizing gas onto a carious lesions for a period of time sufficient to kill microorganisms within the carious lesion; and thereafter applying to the lesion a remineralization formulation.
Abstract: Apparatus for the treatment of dental caries includes a source of oxidizing gas and a handpiece for delivering the gas to a tooth. A cup attached to the handpiece is provided for receiving the gas and exposing a selected area of the tooth to the gas. The cup includes a resilient edge for sealably the edge for engaging the tooth around the selected area to prevent escape of a gas therepast.
