Patent number: 11633259Abstract: In some embodiments, the current invention relates to a method and/or system for using a standard dental handpiece for endodontic cleaning. For example, a dental adapter is disclosed having a fitting for a standard dental handpiece, a torque limiter and/or a mount for an endodontic file. For example, the adapter may be single use and/or multi use. In some embodiments, the mount includes the torque limiter. For example, an endodontic file may be connected to the mount with a friction fitting that allows rotation of the file with respect to the mount at high torque. Optionally the mount is positioned eccentrically with respect to the fitting.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2019Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Inventor: Arie Becker

Publication number: 20230109107Abstract: In some embodiments, the distal end of an endodontic brush unevenly (e.g., not along a line perpendicular to the axis of the brush). Optionally, the uneven strands will contact the walls of a channel more evenly and/or will have an increased stirring effect than an evenly cut end may be cut using an abrasive cutter (e.g., a grinding wheel) and/or a laser and/or an electrical discharge machining (EDM) cutter. Optionally, a grinding wheel will rotate opposite the winding of the wire. Optionally, a round end may be formed on the wire. In some embodiment, a coupling between an endodontic brush and a handpiece in configured to be held totationally top the handpiece by friction and/or locked longitudinally into the handpiece by an interference element. In some embodiments, an edge of the brush is roughened. Optionally, the brush may be bent and/or eccentric.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2021Publication date: April 6, 2023Applicant: MDT MICRO DIAMOND TECHNOLOGIES LTDInventors: Arie BECKER, Zvika GULKAROV

Patent number: 7347830Abstract: The invention provides an assembly for measuring the penetration depth of a dental instrument into a root canal of a tooth. The assembly has a base element configured to be clampingly braced onto a tooth to be treated; an electrically conductive guiding member affixable to the base element and disposed, when assembled, above the tooth, thereby, in use, a portion of the dental instrument makes electrical contact with it. The guiding member further includes an electrical terminal connectable to an apex location measuring device. Methods for continuously measuring penetration depths of a dental instrument into a root canal of a tooth are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2005Date of Patent: March 25, 2008Assignee: Medic.NRG Ltd.Inventors: Arie Becker, Gabriel Savin, Nachman Berger, Shai Gal
