Publication number: 20250127595Abstract: A drill bit and method for normalizing bone is provided. The drill bit has a non-round drill bit core that is adapted to cut hard bone and to not cut soft bone. The drill bit has a cutting edge which may be positioned within a compression zone of the non-round drill bit core. The rotational speed of the drill bit and the profile of the drill bit core are tuned so that hard bone recovers into a cutting zone defined by the cutting edge while soft bone remains outside of the cutting zone. The insertion torque of the drill bit can be measured to determine when the normalization is adequate.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Inventors: Edmund Burke, David Sollberger, Silvio Nussbaumer, Stefan Holst, Hans Geiselhoringer, Antony Quarry, Jorg Weitzel

Patent number: 7195395Abstract: A dental sensor clamp has a clamp body with a connector on one end for connecting the sensor clamp to a bite plate. A clamp body opposite end has a fixed stop locatable adjacent an apical area of a tooth. A clamping slide is mounted within a thickness of the clamp body, and the clamping slide supports a member providing a resilient clamping force upon the member being moved against the sensor and the fixed stop. The dental sensor clamp reliably secures an imaging sensor adjacent the apical area of the tooth.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2005Date of Patent: March 27, 2007Assignee: KerrHawe SAInventors: Antony Quarry, Beat Kilcher, Marco Da Rold, Rolf M.

Publication number: 20060234187Abstract: A cheek and lip retractor for dentistry comprises respective cheek portions and lip portions for the upper and lower lips. In one embodiment, the lip portions each comprise a lip shield and mucosa pads that are separate and spaced apart from the lip shield. The lip shield includes a first side edge that is disposed within a patient's mouth, and a second side edge that is disposed outside the patient's mouth, when the retractor is used to separate the lips of the patient. The cheek portions and lip portions are connected to each other by flexible connecting elements, and the connecting elements are disposed between the lip shields and the mucosa pads. In another embodiment, the cheek portions of the retractor include first side edges disposed within a patient's mouth, and second side edges disposed outside the patient's mouth during use to separate the lips of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2006Publication date: October 19, 2006Applicant: KERRHAWE SAInventors: Beat Kilcher, Antony Quarry
