Computational Approach to Design the High-speed Dental Air-turbine Handpiece
The high-speed dental air-turbine handpieces are widely used in the dentistry as a tool for cutting and drilling a tooth. The advanced existing high-speed dental air-turbine handpieces were investigated to design the high performance dental air-turbine handpiece. The coupler and air-turbine of the dental air-turbine handpiece was designed using computational analysis. The computational domain o...
متن کاملHearing loss associated with long-term exposure to high-speed dental handpieces.
The purpose of this study was to record and compare audiometric pure tone thresholds of dental clinicians (DCs), dental professionals (DPs), and dental students (DSs); determine the percentage of these groups who use hearing protection devices while at work in the clinic; and measure the sound intensities generated by a few representative high-speed handpieces while they are being used on patie...
متن کاملAmalgam dental fillings and hearing loss.
In this study we investigated the effects of amalgam dental fillings on auditory thresholds. Participants (n=39) were non-smoking women age 40 to 45. Regression and correlation analyses were performed between auditory thresholds, measured from 0.25 to 16 kHz, and the number/surface area of dental fillings, using the ASHA criteria for ototoxic change as a reference for comparison. No significant...
متن کاملOptimum Design of the Air-turbine for the High-speed Dental Air-turbine Handpiece Using Design of Experiment
High-pressure air enters the air-turbine of the dental handpiece and strikes the blades to drive the impeller. The air-turbine has impeller and the air tube is connected to the air-turbine housing. The flowfield of the air-turbine were investigated for the optimum air-turbine design using ANSYS CFX. The objective of the research was to find an optimum design variables for the air-turbine to inc...
متن کاملSudden hearing loss after dental treatment.
A 66-year-old man presented with impaired balance, tinnitus, sensation of blockage, and hearing loss in his left ear, which developed after dental treatment for dental pain 4 days previously. Treatment of the carious left upper second molar tooth had included pulp extirpation, canal expansion, and tooth filling under local anesthesia with articaine and epinephrine. Impaired balance decreased sp...
