  • Ultrasonic dental insert and lighted handpiece assembly
    Publication number: 20120028209
    Abstract: An ultrasonic dental handpiece and insert assembly is provided. Scaler inserts that can be used to clean and polish tooth surfaces are particularly preferred. A sleeve is removably mounted on the handpiece. The handpiece contains a primary coil and the sleeve encloses a secondary coil, which are inductively coupled together so that electromagnetic energy can be transferred between them. A flexible light guide member having a light source such as a light-emitting diode extends from the sleeve. The light guide can bend and flex in any direction allowing the light source to emit light in any direction.
