A dental treatment apparatus is a dental treatment apparatus that energizes a dental treatment site such as a root canal with a high-frequency current. Included are a holder that holds an electrode placed at the dental treatment site, a power supply that energizes the electrode with the high-frequency current, and control circuitry that causes, during the energization operation, the power supply to provide stop period where the energization of the electrode with the high-frequency current is stopped between single energization period and next single energization period.

In a dental treatment apparatus, a control circuit controls a drive motor in accordance with a drive sequence. The drive sequence includes a plurality of drive patterns and at least one of the plurality of drive patterns is different from other drive pattern. The plurality of drive patterns include at least one drive pattern having such drive that a cutting tool is rotated in a cutting direction for cutting a treatment portion and drive for rotating the cutting tool in a non-cutting direction which is reverse to the cutting direction.

In a magnetic field measurement apparatus and a magnetic field measurement method provided herein, a magnetic field from an object is measured by a magnetic sensor group including a plurality of magnetic sensors. Then, an estimated value of a common noise component included in observed quantities of the magnetic sensors of all the channels of the magnetic sensor group is obtained as an external magnetic noise component. Finally the magnetic signal from the object is calculated by subtracting the estimated value from the observed quantity of each of the magnetic sensors.

A dental treating apparatus according to the present invention includes: a hand piece; a head unit; a driving unit; a control unit; a load specifying unit; and a load comparing unit. The hand piece drivably holds a cutting tool on the head unit. The driving unit drives the cutting tool in a normal rotation direction or in a reverse rotation direction. The load comparing unit compares a load detected and a reference load. During a normal rotation period until driving for rotating the cutting tool in the normal rotation direction by the driving unit satisfies a predetermined first condition, the control unit maintains a rotation direction of the cutting tool in the normal rotation direction, and when a result of comparison by the load comparing unit attains a predetermined result during the normal rotation period, the control unit controls the rotation direction to the reverse rotation direction.

A measurement auxiliary circuit is configured to form a resonance circuit together with a detection target. An ATAC is coupled with the resonance circuit. A signal generator applies an AC probe signal Vto the resonance circuit. After the impedance measurement apparatus enters a stable state, an impedance detection unit measures a voltage at at least one node and/or a current that flows through at least one current path. The impedance detection unit detects the impedance of the detection target based on the measurement value.
