  • Patent number: 11903868
    Abstract: An oral treatment assembly providing a plurality of medical treatments of a patient that are non-invasive and in particular provides new methods for treating jaw related medical conditions of a patient through predetermined positioning and controlled or guided movement of a patient's mandible and therefore their mandibular condyles during use, wherein the assembly includes an upper and lower assembly each defining transition portions having a reverse cut angle that extends downward from the posterior forward to the anterior, and where each are configured to selectively engage to restrict the retrusion of the mandible relative to the maxilla and to position the mandible relative to the maxilla downward and in some embodiment slightly forward in a caregiver defined treatment position and having a caregiver defined treatment movement area thereabout. Since the reversed cut angle contains two vectors it also discourages involuntary dropping of the mandible relative to the maxilla.

  • Patent number: 5061180
    Abstract: A dental instrument has first stationary and second rotatable tube sections with the rotatable tube section being press fit in the stationary tube section to provide a rotatable and releasable connection between the two tube sections. Stationary and rotatable conduits extend along the sides of the stationary and rotatable tube sections repsectively and are positioned concentric to their respective tube sections at the point of connection between the tubes to provide a rotatable and releasable connection between the stationary and rotatable conduits. A first manually operated valve varies the suction force through the stationary and rotatable tube sections. A second manually operated valve selectively supplies fluid under pressure from first and second fluid supply ducts through the stationary and rotatable conduits to produce a cleaning spray from the rotatable conduit.
