Abstract: A method is provided for managing environmental, health and safety (EHS) risks in a manufacturing environment. Risk assessment data received from a first risk assessment database and a second risk assessment database is stored in an EHS risk assessment database. The risk assessment data includes a plurality of first risk assessments and a plurality of second risk assessments for the manufacturing environment. The first risk assessments may be indicative of ergonomic risk assessments, machine guarding risk assessments, industrial hygiene risk assessments, incident investigation risk assessments, or lock-out tag-out risk assessments. The first risk assessments and the second risk assessments are processed to prioritize the risk assessments, and a notification is provided indicative of the prioritized risk assessments.

Abstract: A radiographic guide being comprised of a first material and a second radio-opaque material, and further comprises a top and bottom surfaces having grooves providing for a means of securing said guide in a stable position in a patient's bite path, and wherein said second material may comprise a calibration template, wherein said template comprises four calibration means of varying height and being disposed of within said first material. The calibration template of said radiographic guide may be displayed in a panoramic x-ray film and may further provide for a self-contained calibration system for determining the actual distance from a patient's gum line to a nerve or sinus of a patient from a distorted distance from said patient's gum line to a nerve or sinus depicted in said panoramic x-ray film.

Abstract: A direct bonding dental arch bar comprised of a flexible base portion having a first side and a second side, which may be comprised of a woven medical grade nylon. This arch bar further comprises a dental positioning device, where said positioning device is an at least one guideline and locking lug, and may utilized to secure this arch bar to a patient's row of teeth prior to adhesion to the teeth is permitted. Furthermore, a light curable adhesive is used that enables said flexible base portion to be secured to at least one tooth when exposed to light, and in particular a blue light spectrum.

Abstract: A radiographic bitewing for determining the depth for a dental implant comprising a patient bite portion and an extension portion, wherein said bite portion is adapted for placement between a patient's upper row of teeth and lower row of teeth, and wherein said extension portion is aligned in a substantially perpendicular position relative to said bite portion and comprises at least one radio-opaque calibration template, wherein said calibration template comprises a first vertical bar having a first dimension, a second vertical bar having a second dimension, a third vertical bar having a third dimension, and a fourth vertical bar having a fourth dimension.

Abstract: A mixing device comprising a body portion, a removable tip portion, wherein said tip portion comprises an opening and a filter portion, wherein said filter portion comprises four filters. The mixing device may also comprise a plunger portion adapted for insertion into said body portion, wherein said plunger portion comprises a first plunger, wherein said first plunger comprises a mixing element, wherein said mixing element comprises a series of blades and said blades being disposed of within said body portion, and a second plunger, wherein said second plunger comprises a compression disk, and wherein a portion of a first plunger is disposed of within a second plunger, and wherein said first plunger operates independent of said second plunger.
