Definitions

  • FIG. 2 illustrates a computer system 30 useful for operating the remote access system 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 in accordance with some embodiments of the invention.
  • the system 30 can control one or more components or systems of a dental laser station including any operation portion of a remote access function of the dental laser station.
  • the system 30 can comprise operating and processing modules for operating the remote access system 10 .
  • the remote access system 10 can manage the organization of data and data flow between the various components of a dentistry control system of the dental laser station 15 and system 10 .
  • the one or more servers 20 can comprise one or more components of the system 30 .
  • the network 39 a, 39 b can include wide area networks (“WAN”), direct connections (e.g., through a universal serial bus port) or other forms of computer-readable media 36 , or any combination thereof.
  • one or more components of the network 39 a, 39 b can include a number of client devices which can be one or more computers 40 including for example desktop computers 40 d, laptop computers 40 a , 40 e, digital assistants and/or personal digital assistants (shown as 40 c ), cellular phones or mobile phones or smart phones (shown as 40 b ), pagers, digital tablets, internet appliances, and other processor-based devices.

  • the BLD can support integration of training levels (e.g. none, bronze, silver, gold) from tablet, classroom, and online training for user profiles.
  • Some embodiments of the invention include a video chat interface. In some embodiments, this feature can allow incoming video chats to be routed to the appropriate remote access system 10 user. In some embodiments, the remote access system 10 user profile can support a video chat user option that may be selected in conjunction with any other role. Some further embodiments include a video chat interface that can receive incoming video calls from a connected laser system and route them to logged in users who have video reception enabled.
  • FIG. 3 shows an optical layout schematic 50 in accordance with some embodiments of the invention.
  • Input requirements guiding the design of the optical scheme of the optical layout schematic 50 include the optical surface, exposed to the environment, where laser radiation is emitting that includes power density significantly lower than output surface of fiber delivery system.
  • the coupling efficiency into all optical elements can be close to 100% (excluding Fresnel losses).
  • the laser beam divergence from the final output surface can be very close to (not much bigger than) the original optical fiber.
  • the laser power distribution within output beam at the target plane can be close to “flat-top” to ensure uniform material removal.
  • the overall size of the components can be minimal (beam diameter on any surface not to increase 2.5 mm), and the number of optical components can be minimal.
  • the diameter of the output contact waveguide can be about 0.5 mm to about 0.8 mm.
  • a protective flat window can be placed after the lens 55 (window output position 56 ) (and can replaceable in case of damage in some embodiments).
  • the mirror 62 can turn the beam (shown as ray traces 51 ) about 90 degrees in the handpiece.

  • a distal end assembly can comprise ball bearings 275 , spring 280 and coupled exhaust 285 , and plug 295 coupled with O-ring 290 .
  • the exploded assembly view of the handpiece assembly 200 is non-limiting in scope and other embodiments can include more or less components that are included to ensure adequate assembly, but may not be required, or may be alternatively positioned.
  • some embodiments can include more or fewer O-rings and/or more or less coupling components such as nuts, screws, washers, and the like, and would be considered as not changing or altering the optical functionality of the assembly 200 .
  • FIG. 10 illustrates a schematic of a combination (“combo”) power supply 425 in accordance with some embodiments of the invention.
  • the dental laser station 15 can include the combination power supply 425 .
  • Some embodiments include a power supply that is a synergetic combination of multiple otherwise separate modules, performing following functions in the laser system providing energy to run the first laser system.
  • the combination can be a HV power supply HVPS 405 , simmer supply 410 , DC (“penta”) supply 415 , and laser power supply (PS) 420 .
  • the laser with power supply 425 can be a flash lamp pumped laser system providing energy to trigger and maintain a plasma discharge in the flash lamp, and optionally providing energy to run a second laser system, which is not a flash lamp pumped laser system.
  • the power supply 425 can also provide energy to support all auxiliary functions of the laser system.
  • the supply 425 can be applicable to any new or old existing laser products (e.g., with replacement of the power supplies).
  • Computer-readable storage media refers to physical or tangible storage (as opposed to signals) and includes without limitation volatile and non-volatile, removable and non-removable storage media implemented in any method or technology for the tangible storage of information such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data.
