  • Patent number: 10433931
    Abstract: A nozzle for a dental handpiece having a connector portion to be connected to a handpiece body, and a nozzle body, which is provided near its end with a notch of a substantially rectangular section cut out from the front face into the lateral faces, the notch forming upstream and downstream faces. The nozzle has a channel and an injection port thereof for transferring the mixture and a channel and an injection port thereof for transferring water, separate from each other. The channel for the mixture extends through the nozzle body along the front face from the connector portion to near the end, with the injection port for the mixture opened in the upstream face. With this nozzle, the mixture is properly injected onto a treatment site in subgingival treatment, while the mixture injected subgingivally is efficiently discharged supragingivally, to improve work efficiency in dental treatment.

  • Publication number: 20160015479
    Abstract: The dental handpiece has a handpiece body having a mixture transfer line for transferring a mixture of air and powder, and a nozzle connected to the handpiece body for injecting the mixture transferred through the mixture transfer line, and performs dental treatment by injecting the mixture onto tooth surface. The nozzle is rotatably connected to the handpiece body via rotary means. With this nozzle connection, during subgingival treatment with the nozzle being inserted subgingivally at its end and moved along the tooth surface, the entire handpiece body is not required to be moved from side to side over a wide amplitude, which improves work efficiency in dental treatment.
