A dental bur structure including a rotatable shaft turned by a motor. The shaft possesses a proximal portion having a fluted surface. The bur also possesses a distal portion with a smooth surface tip which generates heat to melt a composite post matrix upon activation of the shaft. The fluted surface removes a composite material while the smooth tip serves as a guide for the bur.

The multipurpose contact lens accessory comprises a casing having a contact end and a viewing end, the viewing end having a lens therein, wherein the contact end engages a contact thereon for viewing and/or insertion of same and the viewing end allows for viewing of the contact engaged to the contact end for determining if any visible defects exist in the contact and/or whether the contact is inside out.

An intraosseous delivery apparatus having a perforating member that is made of a titanium alloy whose flexibility, wearability and cutting ability is greater than that of conventional hardened stainless steel.

Titanium alloy intraosseous anesthesia delivery device

An intraosseous delivery apparatus having a drilling member and a sleeve member. The drilling member includes a drill housing, a connecting portion for establishing a connection to a conventional dental drilling apparatus, and a drill extending from the drill housing. The sleeve member includes a sleeve housing, and a hollow sleeve extending from the sleeve housing. The sleeve housing is adapted to be removably engaged with the drill housing such that the drill is inserted into the hollow sleeve. The drill has a length such that when the drill is inserted into the hollow sleeve, a portion of the drill extends beyond the hollow sleeve. As a result, when the drill is used to drill a hole in bone, the drill is inserted deeper into the hole than the hollow sleeve. The hollow sleeve is adapted to be left inserted in the bone when the drill is removed therefrom. The &ldquo;in place&rdquo; hollow sleeve is also adapted to receive a syringe needle through which anesthesia may be directly introduced into the bone via an exposed bottom portion of the drilled hole as well as via exposed side-wall portions of the drilled hole. The drill is preferably smooth, and may also be hollow so that debris generated during drilling enters the interior of the drill. In this case, when the hollow drill is removed from the hollow sleeve, the debris within the hollow drill may also be removed. Still further, the drill may be made of a titanium alloy whose flexibility, wearability and cutting ability is greater than that of conventional hardened stainless steel.

The drilling member includes a drill housing, a connecting portion for establishing a connection to a conventional dental drilling apparatus, and a drill extending from the drill housing. The sleeve member includes a sleeve housing, and a hollow sleeve extending from the sleeve housing. The sleeve housing is adapted to be removably engaged with the drill housing such that the drill is inserted into the hollow sleeve.

An intraosseous delivery apparatus having a drill coupling member and a drilling needle member. The drill coupling member includes a shaft, an open housing provided at one end of the shaft, a connecting portion provided at an opposite end of the shaft for establishing a connection to a conventional dental drill, and an anticlog needle extending from the shaft through the open housing. The drilling needle member includes a drilling needle housing and a hollow drilling needle shaft extending therefrom. The drilling needle member is adapted to be removably engaged with the drill coupling member such that the drilling needle housing of the drilling needle member is inserted into the open housing of the drill coupling member and such that the anticlog needle of the drill coupling member is inserted into the hollow drilling needle shaft of the drilling needle member. The drilling needle housing of the drilling needle member and the open housing of the drill coupling member are shaped so that a bone penetration force may be applied therebetween for drilling a hole in a bone to insert the drilling needle member therein when the drilling needle member and the drill coupling member are engaged. The hollow drilling needle shaft is adapted to receive a needle of a syringe when the drilling needle member and the drill coupling member are disengaged and the drilling needle member is left inserted in the hole drilled in the bone, so that a reusable communication path through the hollow drilling needle shaft directly into the hole drilled in the bone is established through which fluid may be repeatedly injected.

A dental handpiece having a slow speed, high torque rotary output, comprises a housing member; an input shaft rotatably mounted in the housing member; a coupling member at an end portion of the input shaft for being coupled to a rotary dental drive unit; a plurality of planetary gear stages sequentially arranged within the housing member, a first of the planetary gear stages being coupled so as to be rotationally driven by the input shaft; subsequent planetary gear stages being sequentially coupled to each other such that an output of one planetary gear stage drives an input of a next subsequent planetary gear stage; and an output shaft coupled to a final output planetary gear stage of the plurality of sequentially arranged planetary gear stages. The output shaft provides a slow speed, high torque rotary output responsive to the input shaft being driven by a higher speed rotary dental drive unit.
