Abstract: A dental mirror includes a mirror assembly and a handle having an interior cavity. The handle further includes a non-circular aperture proximate one end, which communicates with the interior cavity. A push-arm extends through the aperture toward the mirror assembly and has a non-circular shape. The push-arm also has a wiper support, and a sponge is secured within the wiper support. The push-arm is selectively movable to carry the sponge over the mirror assembly, and the aperture prevents relative rotation of the push-arm.

Abstract: A dental device (10) includes a tongue-retracting surface (14) and a throat dam (15, 16) adapted to be positioned in the mouth of a patient. Integral lip-retracting surfaces (17) and a grip portion (18) are connected to the tongue-retracting surface (14) and throat dam (15, 16) by a prop portion (12) which preferably have angled biting surfaces (19) adapted to be engaged by the teeth of the patient. An expandable throat barrier net (23) may be attached to a portion of the throat dam (15). An evacuation system (30) may be provided to remove fluids from the mouth. The biting surfaces (19) may be provided with a pad (21) or a thermoplastic material (22) for the comfort of the patient. A reflective material (27) may be attached to the tongue-retracting surface (14) and a fiber optic rod (28) may be carried by the tongue-retracting surface (14) to assist in illuminating the oral cavity of the patient.
