Abstract

Any use of a rotating disc in the oral cavity in patients is extremely dangerous. During dental operations, damage to soft tissues, as well as to the fingers of the surgeon, is possible with a rotating disk, so a protective device is required to avoid such damage. The present inventions relate to a cover for a rotating dental disk allowing the safe cutting of bone in the oral cavity. These inventions could consist of a body of two longitudinal strips, two rings, an inner channel, and a thrust pad for disk positioning. Alternatively, the inventions could include a single longitudinal strip. The protector could be made of plastic or photopolymer plastic (ABS similar) and could be produced by SLA photopolymer printing or through press forming.
