The invention relates to a nebulizer () comprising an aerosol generator (), a nebulizing chamber () and an outlet (), the aerosol generator () being designed to release an aerosol into the nebulizing chamber () and the outlet () being designed to allow the removal of the aerosol from the nebulizing chamber (). To achieve a high output rate, a wetting surface () is provided in the nebulizing chamber ().

Nebulizer and method for producing a nebulizer

A dental irradiation device comprises a first light emitting unit for emitting blue light adapted for light hardening of a dental material. The device further comprises a second light emitting unit and an image sensing unit which are adapted for cooperation with each other for simultaneous illumination and image capturing. The device facilitates hardening of dental materials and provides, inter alia, additional diagnostic functions.

Dental irradiation device and system

A dispensing device for dental material, which includes a planetary gear drive with at least three planet gears in engagement with an annulus gear. The annulus gear is radial float-mounted relative to the planet gears. A radial force applied on the annulus gear urges the annulus gear into an off-center relationship with respect to an imaginary circle on which the planet gears are arranged.

Dispensing device for dental material

A system for dispensing a dental material comprises a cartridge from which the dental material is extrudable. The cartridge comprises a operating means and an interface for transmitting a cartridge output based on a user input. The system further has a dental dispensing device having a receptacle for receiving the cartridge and an interface for receiving the cartridge output. The system helps maximizing reliability and maximizing safety in operation for dispensing dental material.

System and device for dispensing a dental material and a cartridge for use with the system or device

Provided is a cartridge assembly comprising a cartridge for containing a dental substance. The cartridge comprises a dispensing opening for the dental substance. Further the cartridge assembly comprises a piston having a receptacle for establishing a screw connection with a spindle for moving the piston for dispensing the dental substance. This assembly helps minimize costs in the manufacturing and use of dental cartridges and/or dental dispensing devices.

Cartridge for dispensing a dental substance and method of assembling the cartridge

The present invention relates to a device () for dispensing a dental material. The device () comprises a body () having at least one compartment () for receiving the dental material, at least one piston for extruding the dental material from the compartment () and a drive for moving the piston and the compartment () relative to one another. The device () further comprises a stand () which is mounted to the body () such that the body () and the stand () are pivotally moveable relative to one other.

Device for dispensing a dental material

The present invention provides a mixer for producing a past by mixing components. The mixer includes a housing having a longitudinal axis, a rear end, and a front end provided with a discharge opening. The mixer also includes a mixing changer formed in the housing, where the mixing chamber has an entry side facing the rear end of the housing. The initial content of the mixing chamber is diverted from the discharge opening, and the subsequent content of the mixing chamber is extrudable from the discharge opening.

Mixer for multi-component pastes, kit, and method of mixing paste components

A dispensing device comprises a compartment for receiving a dental material, a piston for extruding the material from the compartment and a spindle drive for moving the piston and the compartment relative to one another. The spindle drive comprises a spindle and a link which are adapted for disengageable engagement with one another, wherein the spindle and the link are operable relative to each other between an engaged position in which the link and the spindle are engaged with one another, and a disengaged position in which the spindle and the link are disengaged from one another. The device may be relatively robust and inexpensive to manufacture, and may facilitate preparation of dental materials for use.

A mixer () for preparing a dental material comprises a mixing barrel () and a mixing rotor (), a mixer inlet (), and an outlet (). The mixing rotor is rotatable about a rotation axis (A), and comprises four mixing paddle levels () each comprising at least one mixing paddle. The mixing paddle levels are axially disposed over a portion of the mixing rotor with the paddle levels being axially spaced at a generally uniform paddle spacing. The mixing paddles further have a thickness in the dimension parallel to the rotation axis, and the ratio between the paddle spacing and the paddle thickness is at least 2:1, thereby maximizing the mixing efficiency, and minimizing energy consumption.

Mixer for preparing a dental material, and system comprising the same

A device for dispensing a dental composition comprises a piston for extruding a component of the dental composition from a container. The device has a roller drive for displacing the first piston. The roller drive comprises cooperating first and second rollers, and each of the rollers have a roller surface with a radial rib profile. The rollers are arranged for rolling with their roller surfaces on one another. The invention may help providing for a relatively reliable and compact device.

Device for dispensing a dental composition

A nozzle head () for a powder jet device (), for use in applying dental material, comprises a first fluid flow path () for delivering a powder/fluid mixture to a first discharge nozzle (A). A second fluid flow path () is provided for delivering a liquid to a second discharge nozzle (A) located adjacent the first discharge nozzle (A), so that the materials discharged by the first and second discharge nozzles combine at a desired location to form a dental composition. A nozzle-clearing member () is located inside the nozzle head and is movable to remove powder material from the first discharge nozzle when the flow of powder/fluid mixture to the nozzle ceases.

Powder jet device for applying dental material

Mixing element

A device for dispensing a dental material comprises a plunger for extruding a component of the dental material, and a motor for driving the plunger. The device has two electric circuits for powering the motor to drive the plunger forward or backward. A selector switch is arranged in the device for alternately selecting between the first electric circuit and the second electric circuit for powering the motor. The device further has switches for interrupting the first and/or second electric circuits when the plunger is positioned at certain positions. The device provides automatic functionality for facilitating dispensing of dental materials, and further is preferably relatively robust and relatively inexpensive to manufacture.
