A method treating a root canal in a tooth by introducing into the pulp chamber of a tooth and pulsing a laser light into the fluid reservoir so as to disintegrate pulp within the root canal without generation of any significant heat in said liquid fluid so as to avoid elevating the temperature of any of the dentin, tooth, or other adjacent tissue more than about 5″ C.

Dental and medical treatments and procedures

Methods and apparatuses for treating a root canal in a tooth or hard and/or soft tissue within a tooth and surrounding tissues by pulsing a laser light into a reservoir, preferably after introducing liquid fluid into the reservoir, so as to disintegrate, separate, or otherwise neutralize pulp, plaque, calculus, and/or bacteria within and adjacent the fluid reservoir without elevating the temperature of any of the dentin, tooth, bones, gums, other soft tissues, other hard tissues, and any other adjacent tissue more than about 5° C.

A laser tip, and method for the use thereof, is described for utilization in medical and dental applications. Specifically, a tip with an increased photoacoustic wave emission capability is formed by beveling the tip and further enhanced by stripping the adjacent sheath. Preferably, this conic and/or stripped tip section is surface modified, for example, by texturing, derivatization or metalization. In the field of endodontics the tip is inserted into a solution that has been introduced into a root canal and the pulsed laser is fired. The resulting generation of an enhanced photoacoustic wave propagates through the solution. These photoacoustic waves turbulently clean the interior of the root and lateral canal systems and/or causes cell lysis and dissolution of inorganics in biotic systems.

A semiconductor die bonder (,) has a height adjuster (,) that is positioned next to the die bonding head (,). The height adjuster (,) assist in ensuring that die bonding head (,) positions a semiconductor die (,) at the desired bond line thickness.

Semiconductor die attach method and apparatus therefor

A programmable pad printer which responds to an input signal by selecting one of a plurality of marks for transfer to a semiconductor. The input signal is provided to the printer from an external source, such as a semiconductor tester. The appropriate mark is then presented to an opening in a housing by rotating a disc containing the plurality of marks. A print head picks up the mark from the disc and transfers it to the semiconductor.

Programmable pad printer

An air driven turbine supporting a burr is pivotably mounted at the extremity of an arm, which arm is pivotably attached to the handle of a dental hand piece. Conduits extend through the handle and the arm to the turbine and provide a flow of air to and from the turbine and a flow of fluid directed into proximity of the cutting surfaces of the burr. Sealed moveable junctions at each end of the arm maintain integrity of the air and fluid flows while accommodating articulation of the hand piece.
