Abstract: Embodiments provide improved periodontal probes and an improved method of reading gum depth. In a first embodiment, a periodontal probe provides contrast by providing illumination directed towards the health care practitioner. In a second embodiment, a periodontal probe detects a gum depth by sensing a contrast in light. In a third embodiment, a computer-implemented method measuring depth of a pocket of a patient's gum.

Abstract: A smoking-cessation device and method includes a vaporization device and smoking-cessation method. The device includes two pods, each of which is a consumable, interchangeable component that contains a capsule tank with a measured amount of vaporizable liquid. Measures of a substance containing a drug such as nicotine may be delivered via instructions from a computer-readable medium to each pod as part of a smoking-cessation regimen. The regimen can be changed and reprogrammed by a medical practitioner to delivery varying amounts of drug according to a person's adherence to a defined smoking-cessation regimen. Eventually the drug dosage will be reduced, and the non-drug liquid will increase until the user reduces his or her dependence on the drug.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an input indicating a location selected by a health care professional on an image rendered with respect to a viewport mapped onto an immersive photographic model of a patient's mouth to indicate a position to place an orthodontic bracket on a patient's tooth is received. A ray is extended from a focal point of the viewport at a direction determined based on the input. An intersection of the ray in a three-dimensional space is determined. The intersection indicates a position to place the orthodontic bracket on the patient's tooth.

Abstract: A vaporization device includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a first body defining split-pods, heating apparatuses and temperature sensors. The temperature sensor is disposed adjacent the heating apparatus to take temperature information of the heating apparatus. The temperature information is fed into a microcontroller via contacts. The microcontroller then processes the temperature information as a voltage reading. By positioning the temperature sensors next to the heating apparatuses, accurate temperature measurements can be obtained and thus precise dosing can be implemented. The second portion includes a computing system that is configured to vary an amount of current supplied to the first heating apparatus and the second heating apparatus.

Abstract: A system and method for practitioner tracking of patient substance intake and controlling of substance dosing for patients is provided. A controlled dosing platform displays patient profiles under the practitioner's care and upon selecting a particular patient one or more streams of usage statistics from use of a vaporization device is displayed. The usage statistics may include a regression value, a control period and a quit date. The regression value may be a linear or an exponential regression value. The practitioner can manipulate any or all of the usage statistics to modify a smoking cessation plan.

Abstract: A flat-tipped end farrier shears includes a first arm, a second arm, and a connector pin. The first arm that rotates about the connector pin includes a first handle, a first shoulder, and a first jaw. The second arm that rotates about the connector pin includes a second handle, a second shoulder, and a second jaw. The first handle and the first jaw are oppositely connected to each other through the first shoulder. The second handle and the second jaw are oppositely connected to each other through the second shoulder. The first and second shoulders are rotatably mounted to each other through the connector pin so that the first and second handles are able to apply pressure to the first and second jaws. A first shear-cutting edge of the first jaw is then positioned offset from a second shear-cutting edge of the second jaw thus shearing a nail head.
