  • the connecting means (104) attaches the mounting frame (102) to a standalone power source.
  • the power source can be an independent engine or turbine solely connected to the device of this disclosure.
  • One embodiment of the present disclosure utilizing a power source, creates an oscillating movement allowing the abrasive band to strip away tooth enamel.
  • the device of the present disclosure is capable of operating at various adjustable speeds.
  • the abrasive band can be driven to vibrate at a frequency of 100 to 3500 cycles per minute with a stroke of 0.5 mm to 2.0 cm, which has been found effective and pleasant in flossing procedures.
  • a capping means (108) is installed on the two top terminal ends of the mounting frame (102) which flaps open and closed to ensure the diamond strip is properly situated in place for patient safery. When flapped open, the capping means (108) allows for easy removal of diamond strip.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a frontal view of a mounting frame (102) according to the present disclosure.
  • the mounting frame blunted container (202) houses an abrasive band (204) and provides for at least one horizontal surface of the abrasive band (204) to be exposed for insertion into the interproximal space between the teeth.
  • the mounting frame (102) has blunted edges to prevent injury to patient's gum.
  • the mounting frame blunted container (202) is a U-shaped container.
  • the mounting frame (102) is a rectangular piece having two terminal ends and one bottom end.
  • the mounting frame blunted container (202) of the present disclosure can have different dimensions corresponding to different dimensions of abrasive bands

  • the abrasive band (204) is replaceable and disposable.
  • the entire mounting frame (102) is replaceable and disposable.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the insertion of an abrasive band into the mounting frame blunted container according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • the abrasive band (204) slides into a groove (304) along the terminal ends of the mounting frame (102) allowing the abrasive band (204) to be securely housed.
  • the terminal ends of abrasive bands (204) are attached permanently to sliding means (302) that slide into a groove (304) along the terminal ends of the mounting frame (102) keeping the abrasive band (204) securely in place.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a frontal view of a securing means (402) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • Securing means (402) provides for the abrasive band (204) to be securely and tightly attached to the terminal ends of the mounting frame (102) .
  • appropriate securing means (402) can be a clamp, a buckle, a snap, a lock, a pin, or a screw.
  • the abrasive band (204) is secured to the mounting frame (102) under varying degrees of tension making it possible for the band to tilt and strip off teeth enamel at different angles.
  • the abrasive band (204) can be placed on the mounting frame (102) in such a way that it can facilitate manipulation of the band in various bending and tilting angles.
  • This ensures adaptability of the abrasive band (204) in modified reduction procedures and enables the dentist to obtain the right angle and to tilt to the desired degree to strip off teeth enamel.
  • the band segment may be tightly secured to the mounting frame (102) to permit reduction of very tight tooth contacts. Alternatively, the same band may be flexibly secured to the mounting frame (102) to permit shaping irregular tooth surfaces which requires a more flexible movement of the band.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the side view of a hinging means (502) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • the mounting frame (102) is pivotally attached to the connecting means (104) via a hinging means (502) .
  • the mounting frame (102) pivots around the hinging means (502) enabling the dentist to adapt the angle to patient's mouth or the position of the tooth being stripped. This gives the dentist better visibility during the procedure and it also enhances patient comfort.
  • the exposed surface of the abrasive band (204) is positioned in between the adjacent teeth.
  • the width and abrasiveness of the band is appropriately selected to match the width of the interproximal gap and the degree of reduction desired. Accordingly, as the power source creates an oscillating movement, the abrasive band (204) vibrates in the interproximal gap stripping off teeth enamel.
  • the band is secured to the mounting frame (102) preventing it from becoming loose into the patient's mouth.
  • the blunted surface of the mounting frame (102) prevents any gum injury to the patient in case of accidental contact between the mounting frame (102) and the patient's gum.
  • the blunted terminal ends and the entire mounting frame (102) surface significantly reduce the potential for patient discomfort due to abrasion of the interproximal gum tissue.
  • the device of the present disclosure utilizing a power source, creates an oscillating movement allowing the abrasive band (204) to strip away tooth enamel.
  • the device of the present disclosure is useful for stripping dental enamel to create space in between teeth or to shape irregular surfaces of teeth.
  • the device of the present disclosure may also be used as an aid in reducing filling material on tooth surfaces, as an aid in placing fillings where tooth contacts are tight, and as an aid in stripping off dental restorations interproximally.
  • the present disclosure may be used as an aid in reducing filling material on tooth surfaces, as an aid in placing fillings where tooth contacts are tight, and as an aid in stripping off dental restorations interproximally.
