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

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.
