Abstract

An ultrasonic dental insert having at least one light source. A first transducer generates ultrasonic vibrations. A connecting body has a proximal end and a distal end having a tip attached thereto. The proximal end is attached to the first transducer so as to receive the ultrasonic vibrations therefrom and to transmit the ultrasonic vibrations toward the tip attached to the distal end. A second transducer is disposed substantially proximate to the connecting body for generating a voltage signal in response to movement of a portion of the connecting body according to the ultrasonic vibrations. A magnetic material including a source of a magnetic field is present in close proximity to the insert. At least one light source substantially proximate to the tip is connected to and receives the voltage signal from the second transducer to generate light. The ultrasonic dental insert may be inserted into a handpiece for providing electromagnetic energy to the first transducer to generate the ultrasonic vibrations.

Description

[0001] Cross Reference Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 654,306, filed February 17, 2005, and titled "Ultrasonic Dental Tool having a Light Source," the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to an ultrasonic dental instrument, more specifically, relates to an ultrasonic dental instrument with a light source. Background technique [0004] Dental practitioners use ultrasonic dental instruments (tools) to perform dental treatments and procedures such as scaling, periodontal therapy, root canal therapy, and the like. Ultrasonic dental instruments typically include a handle coupled at one end (ie, the proximal end) by cables to a source of electrical power and fluid. The cables include hoses to supply liquid, such as water, and wires to supply electrical power. [0005] The other end (ie, the distal end) of the handle has an o...
