  • Publication number: 20160270889
    Abstract: A polisher nozzle for dental treatment comprises a body extending between a proximal portion for connection to a handpiece and a distal portion. The body has a first channel for delivering a dental polishing powder and a second channel for delivering a fluid. The two channels each open out to at least one respective orifice opening out in the vicinity of the free end of the distal portion wherein the free end of the distal portion forms a spatula extending in line with the distal portion downstream from the orifices. The spatula is arranged at a distance from the orifices in such a manner as to disturb at least in part the flow formed by the dental polishing powder combining with the fluid leaving the orifices.

  • Patent number: 9186230
    Abstract: A polisher nozzle includes a body extending between a proximal portion for connection to a handpiece and a distal portion, the body having a first channel for delivering a polishing powder and a second channel for delivering a fluid. The distal portion includes a chamber disposed in the vicinity of the free end of said distal portion, with the first and second channels opening out into said chamber. The chamber includes two lateral openings each extending in a plane forming an angle with the vertical axial plane of the proximal portion.

  • Patent number: 5290170
    Abstract: The ablator is made with synthetic resins reinforced so as to resist the mechanical stresses of flexion and abrasion. The resins are reinforced with metallic or non-metallic fibers totally incorporated in them, and are reinforced against wear due to abrasion by a modification in their surface molecular structure by means of a process of ionic implantation or similar procedures. Preferably, the synthetic resins used belong to the group of polyarylamides which exhibit better characteristics of mechanical resistance and of the duration of the sharpened edge of the ablator.

  • Patent number: 4922936
    Abstract: A dental cleaner in the nature of a toothpick has an elongated stable support which is covered with fine plastic flock particles of a small diameter in order to effectively clean small gaps between the teeth, between bridge anchors and in the sulcus region and to function as a type of "micro-bottle cleaner" for the spaces where plaque needs to be cleaned from the teeth.
