Abstract: Disclosed herein is a dental device for delivering fluid continuously while activated in an endodontic application. The dental device includes a hollow needle having a tip end and a connector portion; and a handle. One end of the handle is configured to be affixed to the connector portion of the hollow needle. The opposite end of the handle is capable of being attached to an endodontic handpiece or a sonic agitator for the activation. The connector portion includes at least one tube connector that is an integral part of the connector portion of the hollow needle or a plurality of openings on the connector portion to accommodate the hollow needle to a connector. The connector is a modular fluid delivery connector which is removable from the needle such that it can be reused.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an obturator and methods of manufacturing an obturator for filling an endodontically prepared root canal. The obturator comprises an elongated carrier having a distal end, proximal end, and working portion with a combination of filler materials having multiple viscosities coated on the working portion.

Abstract: The present document describes methods of using compositions for inhibiting biofilm formation, or disrupting existing or developing biofilms in a subject, which composition comprises at least one chromophore and a pharmacologically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: A motor driven syringe dispenser which has a syringe mounting part, a slider, and a connection for an endodontic motor. The syringe dispenser connects to an endodontic motor which is used to drive a plunger of a syringe placed in the syringe mounting part thereby expressing irrigant into a root canal for root canal therapy.

Abstract: A custom drill guide and a method, system, and computer readable media for determining a number and location of canals in the tooth in order to create a custom drill guide to match the anatomy for proper orientation of high speed burs and files for cleaning/shaping. By knowing where the canals are located within the tooth, a relatively small access opening may be created, the small access opening provides for a strong crown during the restoration process.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium can store machine readable instructions that when accessed and executed by a processing resource cause a computing device to perform operations. The operations can include establishing a connection between data stores (such as a relational data store and a graph engine), wherein the connection includes a shared memory buffer storing data in a data format according to internal structures of the graph engine. The connection between the data stores is bi-directional. The connection enables data that is stored in the shared memory to be processed by either of the graph engine and the relational database. Upon receiving a query, the graph engine or the relational database can be selected to process the data based on a query. The data can be processed by the selected one of the graph engine or the relational database.

Abstract: A dental device is improved in its ability to produce hydroxyl apatite by having a layer of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) deposited thereon. A tile of MTA is prepared, heat treated and sintered to produce a micronized tile of MTA that can then be deposited by physical vapor depositions, hot isostatic pressing, molding or other conventional technique.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to a database and a data stream query. For example, a computing device may include a processor. The processor may receive a query associated with at least one of a database and a buffer storing streamed data from a data stream, where the database stores database data previously stored in the buffer. The processor may identify at least one postponed command relevant to the query, the at least one postponed command being associated with at least one of the database data and the streamed data. The processor may generate a modified query based on the query and the at least one postponed command, the modified query being a modification of the query to account for the at least one postponed command. The processor may process the modified query and provide a query result of the query based on the modified query being processed.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to processing a query of a database and a data stream. For example, a computing device may include a processor. The processor may receive a query associated with at least one of a database and a buffer storing streamed data from a data stream. The database may store database data previously stored in the buffer. The processor may identify a range associated with the query and generate a set of sub-queries including at least one of a buffer sub-query if the range is associated with the streamed data in the buffer and a database sub-query if the range is associated with the database data in the database. The processor may process the set of sub-queries and provide a query result of the query, where the query result is a combination of sub-query results of the set of sub-queries.
