Publication number: 20240024694Abstract: According to an exemplary embodiment, an intraoral phototherapy device is provided for that improves tissue illumination. Oral tissue illumination is particularly difficult in the oral cavity inside of the teeth. That is, it is particularly difficult to illuminate the roof of the mouth and tissues located towards the back for the throat. The intraoral phototherapy device improves illumination of these tissues using a probe having a cylindrical main body.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2021Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Vedang Kothari, Jordan W. Oja, Jason D. Lazzara, Samuel J. Shelnutt

Publication number: 20220226667Abstract: An intraoral phototherapy device is provided that improves tissue illumination. Oral tissue illumination is particularly difficult inside of the teeth. That is, it is particularly difficult to illuminate the roof of the mouth, floor of the mouth, sides of the tongue, and/or ventral surface of the tongue. The intraoral phototherapy device improves illumination of these tissues using a bifurcated central projection that receives a portion of the tongue. An intraoral phototherapy device is also provided that includes a breathing tube to improve patient breathing and vocalization for enabling illumination of tissues at the back of the Zo mouth. An intraoral phototherapy device is additionally provided that allows for separate control of light emission from different areas of the intraoral phototherapy device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2021Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventors: Vedang Kothari, Jordan W.

Publication number: 20220168586Abstract: Intraoral phototherapy devices receive light from an associated light source and propagate the light into an oral cavity of a patient. The device comprises a light guide that receives light from an external light source. The light guide comprises a main body portion made of an optically transparent soft flexible biocompatible polymeric material sized and shaped to conform to contours of the oral cavity when inserted therein to direct the light to targeted regions of the oral cavity. The main body portion comprises a pair of spaced apart side wings sized and shaped to be received between a patient's teeth and cheeks on opposite sides of the oral cavity and a center flap intermediate the side wings for transmitting and directing the light to targeted regions of the oral cavity. A controller delivers light to the light guide in a controlled manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2022Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventors: Vedang Kothari, Peter W. Broer
