The invention provides the tools needed for a dental patient's caries risk assessment. Included is a complete turnkey system for caries risk assessment and treatment, including an ATP test and a plurality of rinses and educational and diagnostic materials. The system for the detection and treatment of the bacterial infection that causes dental caries in a patient comprises a disposable ATP Bioluminescence sampler to swab areas of the patient's mouth, a bioluminescent light meter which measures the amount of ATP present in the patient's mouth, a rapid culture test for the detection ofstreptococci and lactobacilli, a diagnostic testing component that includes a caries risk assessment questionnaire, a treatment component that includes a short term therapeutic oral rinse of at least two components, and a long term maintenance rinse.

System for caries management by risk assessment

A method for reducing dental disease in a patient comprises a patient wearing in the patient's mouth an appliance containing an oral care product comprising a carrier and an anti-dental disease agent with a pH above 7.0. The appliance brings the patient's teeth in direct and sustained contact with the product and is custom made for each individual patient. The oral care product is specifically prescribed and formulated for the particular dental disease of that individual patient.

This invention comprises a kit of materials necessary for a patient to clean and maintain a dental appliance made of plastic resin. More specifically, the kit contains a special brush, a polishing paste, a gel for use under the appliance when worn, an oral care rinse to use with the appliance, a powdered material that is dissolved in water that becomes a solution that cleans and disinfects the appliance, and a plurality of protective cases.

Dental appliance care kit

The invention disclosed herein relates to an efficient and inexpensive way to form dental clasps and fixed single unit temporary prostheses from molten thermoplastic resin. The apparatus and method allow a dental laboratory to make non-metallic clasps using an inexpensive handheld thermoplastic injection unit/gun that injects molten resin into a model of the clasp made from wax. A silicone putty matrix allows the resin to flow into a vacated wax model of the clasp. The time and money needed for this is much less than is needed to create such clasps using hot press equipment.
