Illumination system for dentistry applications

A dental illumination apparatus includes a lamp system mounted on a support structure. The lamp system includes a light source. A control system is provided for controlling the activation of the lamp system. A light guide shields soft tissues local to teeth of a subject from effects of ultraviolet radiation. The light guide includes a lamp attachment formation coupled to the lamp system, and a recording device in communication with the control system, the recording device including memory which stores the amount of time that the light source has been on since the beginning of a treatment procedure. A lip retractor, coupled to the light guide, is adapted to receive the lips of a patient.

Enhanced Modular Electronic Cigarette Assembly with Disposable Elements Including Tanks

Radically improved modular devices, system and methods make it more convenient for a user to exchange the flavoring or physiological active species with ease and without mixing of previously loaded mixtures. Likewise devices, systems, and methods for introducing flavoring, nicotine, or other chemical species desired for consumption by the user into e-cigarette vapor without heating them, thus avoiding excessive pyrolysis or degradation to those ingredients is taught. Safer alternatives to current e-liquid containers and devices, making them less accessible to children, and making harmful exposure to liquid nicotine less likely in general are shown. 1. In an enhanced modular device for imparting a substance into a breathable fluid stream of an electronic cigarette , the improvement which comprises , in combination:a fluid-permeable packing material containing a functional substance;a housing configured to contain the packing material, the housing having a proximal end and a distal end in fluid communication with each other, wherein the proximal end is configured to be mated downstream of and in fluid communication with an atomizing apparatus, and the distal end is capable of drawing a fluid stream there through;wherein when a fluid stream is drawn through the distal end of the housing, an atomized fluid from the atomizer passes through the packing material and the functional substance is imparted into the fluid stream; andwherein the modular device includes a sealed disposable unit which precludes opening or releasing of any functional substance outside of exclusively with the atomizing apparatus.2. The enhanced modular device of claim 1 , wherein the packing material is situated within a casing that is at least partially fluid permeable at a proximal and distal end.3. The enhanced modular device of claim 1 , wherein the packing material and functional substance have been manufactured together such that no assembly is required from a user.4. The enhanced modular ...

Devices, systems, and methods for introducing any species desired for consumption into e-cigarette vapors without heating them, thus avoiding excessive pyrolysis or degradation to those ingredients. Safer alternatives to current (pods) e-liquid containers and devices, making them NON-accessible to children, and making risk of harmful exposure to liquid nicotine eliminated mitigated or extenuated, are offered along with modular disposable components, to create a new state of the art. 1. A disposable e-liquid tank comprising , in combination:a substantially cylindrical e-liquid reservoir, the reservoir comprising: an outer wall and an inner wall, the inner and outer walls connected at the distal end of the reservoir, thereby forming a substantially circular trough open co the proximal end; and a central bore defined by an inner surface of the inner wall, the bore extending axially through the reservoir and configured to fit around an atomizer;an atomizer comprising a metal coil and a wicking material, the atomizer situated within the bore; anda base coupled to the atomizer and situated over the open proximal end of the trough and forming a fluid-light seal therewith, the base having a connector configured to connect to a battery unit for powering the atomizer.2. The tank of claim 1 , wherein the connector is a 510 type of connector.3. The tank of claim 1 , further comprising an e-liquid contained within the scaled trough.4. The tank of claim 3 , wherein said e-liquid consists essentially of at least one type of e-juice selected from the group of propylene glycol claim 3 , vegetable glycerin claim 3 , nicotine claim 3 , and flavoring.5. The tank of claim 3 , wherein the trough and base create a fluid-tight seal for containing the e-liquid.6. The tank of claim 3 , wherein the tank is pre-filled by a ...

Illumination system for dentistry applications

A dental illumination system includes an adjustable self supporting frame and a lamp head coupled to the frame. The lamp head includes a housing and a spacer having formations that is adapted to removably mechanically couple the lamp head to a reference device, again having formations, for facilitating illumination of a tooth by a light source contained within the lamp head. The spacer and lamp head may be formed integrally. If formed separately, both the lamp head and the spacer may include formations.

Retracting devices

The present invention relates to a retracting device for retracting at least a portion of a user’s mouth. The retracting device includes formations, which may be inter-engaging and/or non-inter-engaging with other dental tools or apparatus. The formations are adapted for repeatably positioning a subject’s mouth with respect to a light system, and/or an imaging film, and/or a dental tray.
