The dental robot includes a platform and a suspension system. The suspension system supports the platform and automatically compensates for the weight of the platform, as well as the robotic arm, end effector, and tooth clamp attached to it. The suspension system maintains a constant height of the platform above the base when there is no external force on the tooth clamp. The suspension system allows the platform's position and orientation to change relative to the base in response to external forces greater than approximately 0.1 N on the tooth clamp, such as the result of movement of the object (changes in position and / or orientation). As a result, the platform's position and orientation remain fixed relative to the object's teeth in response to tooth movement.

A dental mouthpiece is provided that may be attached to a high-suction dental adapter for the purpose of assisting the dental staff during dental procedures through chair-side, hands-free suction, and isolation. Such a mouthpiece may include a main body portion, a cheek retractor portion, and a suction connector portion. In some embodiments, the main body portion, cheek retractor portion, and suction connector portion (and sub-portions thereof) may be molded in one piece, preferably by injection molding. In an exemplary embodiment, the mouthpiece may be made of a material that is flexible, translucent, conducive to injection molding, high heat-resistant, and autoclavable. Such a material may include silicone. Because the mouthpiece may be made of a high heat-resistant and autoclavable material, such a mouthpiece may be reusable.

A dental mouthpiece is provided that may be attached to a high-suction dental adapter for the purpose of assisting the dental staff during dental procedures through chair-side, hands-free suction, and isolation. Such a mouthpiece may comprise a main body portion, a cheek retractor portion, and a suction connector portion. In an embodiment, the main body portion, cheek retractor portion, and suction connector portion may be molded in one piece, preferably by injection molding. The main body portion has an anterior wall inside the curve and a posterior wall outside the curve, and an at least one connector connecting the anterior wall and the posterior wall. The main body portion has an anterior intervening wall and the posterior intervening wall in between the anterior and posterior walls. The anterior intervening wall and the posterior intervening walls have alternating crests and troughs.

1.1: Perspective view; 1.2: Right view; 1.3: Left view; 1.4: Top view; 1.5: Bottom view; 1.6: Back view; 1.7: Front view; 1.8: Cross-Sectional view taken through the line 1.8-1.8 of Figure 1.7; the article is a tip for an oral suction device which is designed to be connected to the hose of the suction device; the article is typically used during dental procedures: in the drawings, shading is drawn with the thin lines that do not form closed area; the shading lines are used for representing the three-dimensional shape of the surface of the claimed design and do not represent surface ornamentation of the claimed design; in the cross-sectional view in figure 1.8, the broken lines indicate the cross sectional surface; in the visual point of view of figures 1.2 and 1.3, the upper and lower sides of the claimed tip are made of different materials with the upper side part being made of a transparent material, while the lower side part being made of a non-transparent material; the thin solid lines forming the closed area in the upper side part represent the parts seen through the transparent material of the upper side part.

Dental components used for guiding the insertion of a dental implant into a desired location in a patient's mouth using a surgical guide including a master tube are described herein. Various components that can be used with the surgical guide and during a dental procedure using the surgical guide are also described herein.

A dental procedure simulator (1) is disclosed comprising a computer (80) configured to simulate a dental treatment, a parallel robot (40) providing haptic force feedback, and a handpiece (30) coupled to the robot by a mechanism offering multiple rotational degrees of freedom. A display screen (9) presents a virtual environment, the images of which are reflected to the user by a partially transparent reflective element (7) while simultaneously allowing direct viewing of a real workspace (W). This mixed-reality arrangement enables the user to see both virtual objects, including a virtual handpiece co-located with the real handpiece (30), and physical components such as phantom jaws (13, 14) or a phantom head (10). Sensors may detect movement and orientation of the handpiece and phantom jaws, allowing the virtual environment to be updated accordingly. The system supports realistic simulation through combined visual and haptic feedback and may additionally provide training using physical phantom teeth (22).
