  • Publication number: 20070054243
    Abstract: A method of treating dentin sensitivity in a patient includes applying oxidizing gas onto the dentin, monitoring the dentine sensitivity and in response to the monitoring, seizing application of the oxidizing gas. Apparatus for treating dentin sensitivity includes a source of oxidizing gas, a handpiece for delivering the gas to a tooth with dentin sensitivity, a cup attached to the handpiece for receiving the gas and exposing a selected area of the tooth to the gas and means for eliciting a response from the patient in re of the dentin sensitivity.

  • Patent number: 6263226
    Abstract: An electrode providing electrical contact with a patient's skin includes a conductive member adapted for connection to an external electrical apparatus, and a multilayer system for providing electrical interface between the patient's skin and the conductive member. The multilayer system includes a first layer of an electrically conductive gel having a relatively low peel strength, for removably contacting the patient's skin, and a second layer of an electrically conductive gel having a relatively high peel strength, for contacting said conductive member. The first and second layers are laminated with a sponge third layer therebetween.
