59 results about "Dental bur" patented technology

A dental bur is a specialized drill bit used in dentistry. It is inserted into a dental drill and used to remove damaged material from a patient's tooth to prepare it for filling.

Dental instruments having durable coatings

InactiveUS20060269901A1Extended service lifeUseful for wearTooth pluggers/hammersTeeth cappingSurgical drillDental insert
The present invention relates to dental instruments used in tooth restoration and replacement including dental burs, dental discs, tapes, endodontic files, surgical drills and taps, having abrading working surfaces coated or embedded with diamond particles or chips onto the substrate or shank, the abrading surfaces having a flexible diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating. The substrate may be flexible or the shank may be made of a relatively hard substrate and diamond particles or chips may be coated or embedded onto the substrate or shank through the use of polymeric bonding agents, through embedding in a nickel or nickel alloy matrix, or through chemical vapor deposition, or even direct coating if polymeric substrates are used. The abrading surface may also be formed through the formation of cutting edges or surfaces on the substrate. The present invention further relates to a dental tip, which may be part of an ultrasonic dental insert may be made of a metallic or polymeric substrate which is coated with a flexible and durable coating. The coated tip is bent or can be bent to a desired configuration. The coating is made of a diamond-like-carbon (DLC) coating having at least about 5 atomic percent of hydrogen. The coated abrading surfaces or tips are longer lasting than uncoated surfaces and the coating may also serve as a wear indicator. Further, the coating is present on the surface of the bur or tip during use without obstructing the abrasive function of the dental instruments.

Dental bur storage device

ActiveUS20120273446A1Quick searchShorten overall dental procedureOperating chairsDental chairsDental burDrill bit
The present invention is directed towards a dental bur storage device having a plurality of dental bur receiving holes capable of retaining a plurality of different dental bur types having different shank diameters, wherein, each of the plurality of dental bur receiving holes is tapered to allow a retaining fit to be established with any one of the plurality of different dental bur types having different shank diameters. The advantage of using a receiving hole that has a tapered form is that different types of dental burs having different diameters of shanks may be retained by the receiving holes in the dental bur storage device. This allows a wide range of different brands and different types of dental burs to be accommodated on one single dental bur storage device which greatly simplifies the process of selecting a dental bur for a dentist, particularly during a dental treatment. As the receiving hole is tapered, bur shanks of varying dimensions will be received to different depths within the receiving hole to a point where the receiving hole tapers to a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the shank of the dental bur being received. Moreover, using this type of receiving hole, positive retention of a dental bur may be achieved when the dental bur storage device is handled roughly or inverted.

Dental bur

The invention relates to an improved bur for use in handpieces having a rotatable chuck with a tool bore for receiving the bur, a friction grip member for frictionally retaining the bur in the chuck and a torque lock seat of non-circular cross-section and permitting length adjustment of the bur in the drive head by concentrically supporting the bur in the drive head at any position from a fully inserted position to a maximum retracted position. The bur includes a tool body having an axis of rotation, a working end for projecting from the handpiece and a driven end for insertion into the tool bore of the chuck. The driven end is a generally cylindrical shaft with a preselected outer circumference for fittingly engaging in the tool bore for concentric rotation of the driven end with the chuck. The shaft including a torque lock portion for fittingly and non-rotatably engaging the torque lock seat of the chuck. The torque lock portion has at least two flat surfaces circumferentially spaced apart by intermediate cylindrical mantle portions, for providing the locking portion with a cross-section including alternating circular and straight sections and fitting into the non-circular cross-section of the torque lock seat to prevent rotation of the torque lock portion in the torque lock seat. The circular sections have the same diameter as the outer diameter of the cylindrical shaft. A total area of the flat surfaces covers at least 0.001956 square inches and the circular sections extend over at least 30% of the outer circumference of the driven end. This maintains efficient torque transfer between the chuck and the tool and ensures concentricity of the bur in the handpiece to prevent undue vibration of the bur in the handpiece.

Automated dental treatment system

A system for performing dental surgery on a subject includes a central processing unit that controls automated operation of the system and a display that renders an image of a target tooth requiring surgical intervention. The image of a target tooth is created from an image file received from the central processing unit. An input device receives surgical instructions from a user for providing thesurgical intervention with the surgical instructions being subsequently received by the central processing unit. The surgical instructions include visual indications on the image of a target tooth that are to be treated. The system also includes a segmented dental handpiece that has a first segment attached to a second segment. The second segment is attached to a dental drill head and is movable with respect to the first segment under control of the central processing unit. The first segment can be held stationary relative to the target tooth by an operator. Characteristically, the dental drill head includes a dental burr protruding therefro7m. The system also includes a three-dimensional (3D) vision system that includes a plurality of cameras attached to the segmented dental handpiece. The plurality of cameras provides two dimensional images and/or live video of a subject's teeth to be mapped to a predetermined 3D surface scan of a surgical site thereby establishing a world coordinatesystem to which the segmented dental handpiece is registered.

Design and manufacturing method for dentition undercut solid retention tooth preparation guide plate

The invention relates to a design and manufacturing method for a dentition undercut solid retention tooth preparation guide plate. The method comprises the following steps of (1) performing three-dimensional scanning on teeth and adjacent teeth which require tooth preparation; (2) designing a three-dimensional shape of each of tooth preparation bodies by using three-dimensional reverse engineeringsoftware; (3) according to the three-dimensional shape of each of the tooth preparation bodies in the step (2), designing guide grooves, capable of guiding a motion path of the dental bur all the way, on the guide plate; (4) making the complete surface of the marginal gingival and the dental crown of each adjacent tooth forward biased for 1 mm, including undercut areas serving as guide plate retention parts; (5) fusing the guide grooves and the retention parts into guide plate integral data; and (6) dividing the guide plate into a lip-cheek part and a tongue-palate part from the lip-cheek lateral boundary of an occlusal surface; and designing 3-4 implant retention structures between the two parts, and processing the 3-4 implant retention structures into entities by using a three-dimensional printer. The method can significantly improve the retention strength of an existing tooth preparation guide plate in actual application, lowers the difficulty of emplacement and reduces the size ofthe guide plate, thus being beneficial to popularization and application.
