Abstract: Some aspects relate systems and methods for dental treatment and remote oversight. An exemplary system may include a laser configured to generate a laser beam as a function of a laser parameter, a beam delivery system configured to deliver the laser beam from the laser, a hand piece configured to accept the laser beam from the beam delivery system and direct the laser beam to dental tissue, a sensor configured to detect a dental parameter as a function of a dental phenomenon, a computing device configured to receive the dental parameter from the sensor and communicate the dental parameter to a remote device configured to interface with a remote user.
Abstract: Embodiments relate to a systems and methods for preventative irradiative dental treatment. In accordance with one embodiment, a system and method include using a radiation source to generate a radiation; using an optic disposed to accept the radiation to internally reflect he radiation at a first end; using at least one side of the optic to contact a dental hard tissue; using the optic to couple some of the radiation into the dental hard tissue; and, using a controller to control a parameter of the radiation to heat a surface of the dental hard tissue.

Abstract: In one aspect, embodiments relate to systems and methods for preventing one or more of discoloration and attrition of dental surfaces of a patient undergoing orthodontic realignment using a clear polymer aligner. An exemplary system includes: a laser arrangement configured to generate a laser beam, an optical arrangement configured to direct the laser beam toward exposed tooth surfaces, and a laser controller configured to control the laser beam in order to heat at least a portion of the exposed tooth surfaces to affect one or more of a mechanical property and a chemical property, wherein the exposed tooth surfaces are located within a cavity of the clear polymer aligner when worn.
Abstract: In one aspect, embodiments relate to a system for preventative dental laser treatment that ensures even irradiation of a laser beam. The system includes, a laser arrangement configured to generate the laser beam. The laser beam has one or more of a super-Gaussian energy profile and a transverse ring mode. The system also includes a focus optic. The focus optic is configured to converge the laser beam with a numerical aperture of 0.1 or less to a focal region. The system also includes a hand piece configured to direct the laser beam at a surface of a dental hard tissue. The system additionally includes a controller. The controller is configured to control one or more parameters of the laser source, such that a portion of the surface of the dental hard tissue is heated to a temperature in a range between 400° Celsius and 1300° Celsius.
