  • Publication number: 20220142737
    Abstract: Device for injecting a filling material in the fluid phase into a canal space, the device including an adaptor nozzle connected to an auto-mixer, and an injection tip fitted at the upper end of the auto-mixer. At a distal end the injection tip has an outside diameter of 1.5 mm or less over a length of 8 mm or greater. The injection tip is made of memory shape material for bending to a desired orientation. The injection tip is molded to the upper end of the auto-mixer, and on an exterior surface of the injector tip are either circular ribs defining a groove, the upper end of the auto-mixer being molded into the groove so the injection tip is locked in position in the upper end while retaining a degree of freedom to rotate about its axis of symmetry, or one or more mutually parallel circular ribs, and the upper end of the auto-mixer is molded onto the circular rib so the injection tip is blocked in position in the upper end while retaining a degree of freedom to rotate about its axis of symmetry.

  • Patent number: 9554872
    Abstract: The invention relates to an intraoral device for automated preparation of the teeth with a view to performing partial or peripheral dental restoration, which includes: a splint (1) suitable for being positioned in the mouth of a patient, said splint including a means (13) for maintaining the position thereof inside said mouth; at least one mobile cutting tool (2) combined with said splint; and an electronic management unit which makes it possible to control said cutting tool, characterized in that: said cutting tool (2) is configured so as to cut at least the labial surface of the tooth (D1) to be prepared, said tool being mounted on a mobile carriage (23) moving along a rail (24) attached to the splint (1), opposite the labial surface of the tooth (D1) to be prepared, said rail having a curvature that matches the dentition (D) of the patient; said splint (1) includes at least one 3D digitization tool (4) arranged such as to digitize at least the labial surface of said tooth to be prepared, said digitization

  • Publication number: 20140197575
    Abstract: A method is for fabricating a device for injecting a filler material in the fluid phase into a root canal space, the device including an adapter nozzle, an auto-mixer connected to the adapter nozzle, an intra-oral injection nozzle positioned at the upper end of the auto-mixer. The method includes using a shape memory material to make the injection nozzle so as to be bendable according to a desired orientation. The method also includes arranging on the exterior surface of the injection nozzle, circular ribs defining a groove, and moulding the upper end of the auto-mixer in this groove so that the injection nozzle is lodged in position in the upper end while retaining a degree of freedom in rotation around its axis of symmetry, or one or multiple circular ribs parallel to each other.
