Abstract: A protective odontogenic device is provided as a malleable, cushioning material which is installed proximate the front and back region of at least the front teeth of a patient. The material helps protect against damage to the front teeth of a patient by a surgical armamentarium. The malleable, cushioning material may be contained in a carrier substrate prior to installation against the teeth of a patient. The carrier substrate may be provided in a generally horseshoe shaped form.

Abstract: A retaining device is particularly suited for suspending an electrical extension cord from a support. The retaining device features an elastomeric body section. A first holder suspends the retaining device from the support and features a base disposed at a first end of the elastomeric body and a flexible strap. The strap is wrapped around the support and secured to the base. A second holder suspends the electrical cord and features a base secured to a second end of the elastomeric body having at least one arm extending outwardly and generally towards the base. The arms define a channel size and shaped to accept the electrical cord. According to one embodiment, the second holder features at least two arms and at least two channels. Alternatively, the second holder features a single arm that is either biased towards the base or includes a flexible strap that engages the base.
