  • Publication number: 20210346123
    Abstract: Provided is a dental laser treatment apparatus that can facilitate sterilization and cleaning work in a treatment with laser beams and also during and after the treatment, which puts less physical and mental burdens on a patient, offers a prospect of quick and reliable therapeutic effects, and allows for faster healing. A dental laser treatment apparatus may include an apparatus body including a laser beam generating device that generates a laser beam; a laser beam application device including an optical fiber that supplies the laser beam generated by the laser beam generating device and a handpiece that includes an application port for the laser beam attached on a distal portion of the optical fiber; and a cleaning solution supply unit that discharges sterilizing/cleaning solution from a sterilizing/cleaning solution supply unit.

  • Publication number: 20190124929
    Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a highly stable cleaning solution that generates a high concentration of hypochlorous acid during cleaning, and has sterilizing and washing out activity on bacteria and viruses. As means for achieving this object, a cleaning solution has been developed which is an aqueous solution containing hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ions produced using a diaphragm-free electrolysis process. The effective residual chlorine concentration thereof and the hydrogen ion concentration exponent thereof are adjusted to a value from 500 ppm to 2000 ppm and to a value from pH 8.5 to pH 9.5, respectively. Thus, the cleaning solution remains stable for a prolonged period of time, and exhibits high sterilizing and wash-out activity during use.
