  • Ultrasonic dental cleaning tip stabilizer
    Patent number: 4501558
    Abstract: In an ultrasonic dental cleaning and scaling device, the ultrasonically energized scaling tip and the water nozzle are positioned adjacent to one another. The scaling tip is within a grooved shield and the water nozzle is positioned along the longitudinal groove of the shield. A wafer like stabilizing element is positioned and mounted around the shield. A tab portion of the stabilizer extends into the groove of the shield to fix the rotational position of the stabilizer. A small opening in the tab portion of the stabilizer accepts the water nozzle thereby positioning the water nozzle relative to the scaling tip and the shield.
