A cordless ultrasonic scaler includes a cleaning tip, an actuator, power supply, control circuitry, a water reservoir and a pumping mechanism within the hand piece. A piezoelectric stack actuator drives both the cleaning tip and pumping mechanism. The reservoir in the hand piece supplies liquid to the pump for cooling the actuator, the cleaning tip and the teeth being cleaned. The reservoir defines a battery compartment. A pair of electrodes enable recharging the battery in a docking station when the device is not in use. Controls are provided for the actuator and fluid flow.

The present invention relates to a wireless remote control for dental equipment, such as dental scaler tools, dental drills, prophy angles and other rotary instruments. The wireless control switch can control the on and off state of the dental tool, or it can also be programmed to control the speed of the tool by a switch on the tool. The wireless control switch can be in the form of, for example, a foot switch, and replaces manual and foot operated controls formerly connected by cables to the dental tools. This removes a potential safety hazard in the dentist's office and makes the equipment control more versatile and easier to adapt to various office conditions. The wireless control can be battery powered, further eliminating the need for cables.

A foot switch device for activating a dental or medical treatment apparatus is provided. The foot switch device is particularly suitable for controlling an ultrasonic dental scaler. The foot switch device includes a base plate; a central housing attached to the base plate; an upper, moveable cover mounted on the housing; and a connecting collar attached to the upper cover for retaining the cover on the housing while allowing the cover to move upwardly and downwardly relative to the housing. The central housing contains a first electrical switch for transmitting a first signal to the apparatus, and a second electrical switch for transmitting a second signal to the apparatus. An operator depresses the upper cover with his or her foot to activate the switching mechanism and control the operation of the dental or medical apparatus.

The present invention relates to a dental scaling translucent insert which provides a coaxially aligned light adjacent the distal end of such insert for illuminating the tip of the dental scaler which light may be provided by light emitting from a fiber optic light guide from a light source located remotely from the tip. The light provided can also be used to view through a camera lens system located in translucent insert to provide a clear unobstructed view of the work at the tip of the scaler on a remote screen or for recording.

An ultrasonic dental scaler automatically supplies a frequency to match a handpiece connecting thereto. A handpiece connector includes one or more passive elements, which affect the resonant frequency produced by the generator. Multiple handpieces, each operating at a different resonant frequency, may thus be used with the same ultrasonic generator. The ultrasonic dental scaler also supports two footswitches. One footswitch includes a foot-controlled power level adjuster. When connected, the footswitch automatically disables the manual power adjuster. Another on-off footswitch includes no power adjustment mechanism. When connected, the manual power adjustment feature of the generator is maintained. Orders for different handpiece frequencies and footswitch types can thus be filled with an inventory of one generator model.

A pre-packaged, sterilized, single-use dental scaler tip, to be supplied to dental professionals, is used with an insert for an ultrasonic dental scaler. The single-use tip is employed for maintenance and preventive care for patients with titanium and other dental implants. The tip is packaged individually and sterilized by gas or irradiation, only to be removed after purchase, such as by the dental professional just before use on a patient. Upon completion of the patient care, the tips are preferably discarded and the dental insert is autoclaved or otherwise sterilized.

The invention relates to an energy-saving environmentally-friendly intelligent dental scaler which comprises a spray head (100), a water tank (200), a handle (300) and a pumping portion (400). A pipe(410) pumps water to the spray head (100) from the water tank (200) through a screw (420). The screw (420) is driven by a first motor (430). A pulse portion (500) drives a crank sliding block mechanism through the first motor (430) to strike the pipe (410) in the reciprocating mode. The screw (420) and the pulse portion (500) are driven simultaneously through the first motor (430) in the pumping portion (400) to cause the first motor (430) to draw water from the water tank (200) and drive the crank sliding block structure to strike the pipe (410) simultaneously, so that water flow jetted fromthe spray head (100) is water flow becoming larger or smaller regularly, so that the dental scaler can be driven at lower power to achieve the cleaning effect that more water is pumped with the higherpower motor and achieve the aim of saving energy and protecting environment.

A handpiece of a dental scaler includes an outer sheath and an inner housing received in the outer sheath. An inner surface of the outer sheath forms an inclined section converging toward an end of the sheath. An end of the inner housing is reduced and is complementary in shape to the converged inner surface of the outer sheath whereby a surface contact is formed between the outer sheath and the inner housing. A circumferential groove is defined in the reduced end of the inner housing to receive an O-ring. An inner-threaded fastener is threadingly fixed to an opposite, threaded end of the outer sheath and has an inner shoulder engaging a step formed in the inner housing thereby inducing an axial linear movement on the inner housing with respect to the outer sheath to compress and deform the O-ring for securing watertightness between the outer sheath and the inner housing.

A dental piezoelectric ultrasonic magnetic switching scaler handpiece is activated by magnetic means. The dental piezoelectric scaler handpiece includes a housing that contains a fixed magnet and a magnetically activated switch. An activation magnet longitudinally slides along the outside of the housing from a de-energized position to an energized position. The activation magnet is biased to the de-energized position by the fixed magnet. When a user moves the activation magnet away from the fixed magnet and toward the magnetically activated switch, the magnetic field of the activation magnet activates the magnetically activated switch and turns the dental scaler handpiece on.
