Embodiment Construction

[0050] Various embodiments of an apparatus for treating at least a treatment area of ​​a tooth are disclosed in detail hereinafter. An example of a method for treating a treatment area of ​​a tooth is disclosed in detail.

[0051] Various embodiments disclosed herein utilize a pressure wave generator to treat a treatment area of ​​a tooth, for example, to clean or occlude a root canal, clean or fill a carious area on the outer surface of a tooth, remove dental deposits from a tooth or gum, bleach or Whiten teeth, and more.

[0052]Various embodiments disclosed herein utilize pressure wave generators to convert electromagnetic energy into acoustic waves in a fluid via an electromagnetically responsive medium. For example, in magnetic applications, as described herein, the electromagnetically responsive medium may comprise a ferrofluid or a plurality of ferrous particles. An electromagnetic generator can be activated to induce movement of the electromagnetically responsive med...

Abstract

Examples of apparatuses, methods, and compositions for endodontic treatments are described. In certain implementations, an apparatus can include a treatment fluid supply configured to supply a treatment fluid to a treatment region of the tooth and a pressure wave generator configured to generate pressure waves in the treatment fluid. The pressure wave generator can include a volume housing an electromagnetically responsive material, a diaphragm including a first side and a second side, and an electromagnetic generator coupled to the volume, wherein the first side is exposed to the volume, the second side is exposed to the treatment fluid, and the diaphragm is movable such that the movement of the electromagnetically responsive material within the volume causes the movement of the diaphragm. The electromagnetic generator is configured to generate electromagnetic energy. The electromagnetically responsive material can be responsive to the electromagnetic energy generated by the electromagnetic generator so as to cause the movement of the diaphragm.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 736,119, filed September 25, 2018, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to dentistry and endodontics, and the present disclosure relates to devices, methods and combinations for treating teeth. Background technique [0004] In conventional dental and endodontic procedures, mechanical instruments such as drills, files, brushes, etc. are used to clean unhealthy material from teeth. For example, dentists often use drills to mechanically break up carious areas (eg, cavities) in tooth surfaces. Such surgical procedures are often painful to the patient and oftentimes not all of the diseased material is removed. Furthermore, in conventional root canal treatment, an opening is drilled through the crown of a diseased tooth, and an endo...
