How Does the Smart Dentin Grinder Work?

The Smart Dentin Grinder grinds a patient’s own teeth into dentin particulate, separates the particulate into specific sized particles and then provides a cleansing solution that leaves the dentin particles bacteria-free. This procedure transforms any patient’s tooth into a sterile particulate dentin that is grafting bio-material for a highly predictable autologous graft.

The following provides an overview of how the Smart Dentin Grinder works. Detailed operation instructions are provided in Chapter 2, Using the Smart Dentin Grinder on page 13.

Figure 5: Stages of the Smart Dentin Grinder Process

Page 11

Page 11

Page 12

Step 1, Using the Patient’s Own Teeth

One or more of the patient’s own teeth are extracted in the usual manner and then cleaned.

Step 2, Grinding the Teeth

The Smart Dentin Grinder is specially designed for grinding teeth into particulate dentin. It grinds the teeth into particles and then sorts them according to size.

Dentin particles of suitable size for implanting (between 300 and 1,200 microns) are automatically stored in the Smart Dentin Grinder’s top drawer compartment.

11

Smart Dentin Grinder User Guide

Large particles can be reground in order to obtain more particles of the proper size

(between 300 and 1,200 microns).

Extremely small dentin particles (below 200 microns) fall into its bottom drawer compartment for disposal. Efficiency is approximately 95%, meaning that typically

95% of the extracted tooth can be used for dentin bone grafting.

The Smart Dentin Grinder enables you to configure the grinding time of the teeth and the sorting time of the particulate.

NOTE:

Grinding speed and vibration intensity are predefined and cannot be changed.

Step 3, Sterilizing the Particulate

The Smart Dentin Grinder process provides a special dentin particulate chemical cleanser that dissolves all the organic debris, resulting in a bacteria-free sterile particulate ready for transplanting into fresh sockets and bone defects.

Step 1, Preparing the Teeth

Only teeth that have undergone root canal fillings are not suitable. All other teeth can be used.

WARNING!

Do not use teeth that have root canal fillings.

►

To handle the extracted teeth:

1

Extract one or more of the patient’s own teeth in the usual manner. This should be done during the same treatment session as the grinding, not before.

2

Use a tungsten bur to remove all cavities and artificial material from the extracted tooth, so that only the clean tooth dentin remains.

Artificial material to be removed may include fillings, crowns and any prosthetic materials.

3

Remove all surface debris, especially on the root.

Step 2, Preparing the Smart Dentin Grinder

This step describes how to prepare the Smart Dentin Grinder for a procedure.

CAUTION:

The Smart Dentin Grinder vibrates and therefore must be kept on a stable surface away from the table’s edges.

CAUTION:

Each chamber comes in sterilized packaging. Do not open its packaging before this point.

WARNING!

Each sterile disposable chamber must only be used for a single patient and only once.

14

Step 3, Placing the Teeth in the Smart Dentin

Grinder

The Smart Dentin Grinder is a specially designed for grinding teeth into particulate dentin. The instructions below can be used for between one and six teeth at once.

NOTE:

If you wish to process more than six teeth for the same patient in the same session, then simply perform this entire process on a few teeth at a time.

►

To grind the teeth:

1

Remove the cap of the sterile disposable chamber, as shown below:

Figure 12: Removing the Chamber Cap

2 Please dry the teeth with air before placing them in the grinding chamber!

3

Place the prepared teeth on the grinding sieve next to the blades, as shown

below:

Figure 13: Placing the Teeth in the Smart Dentin Grinder

The teeth must have been prepared, as described in the Step 1, Preparing the

Teeth section on page 14.

17

Smart Dentin Grinder User Guide

4

Close the chamber cap and twist it counterclockwise so that it clicks into place.

Figure 14: Closing the Chamber Cap

NOTE:

The chamber cap has a safety latch so that the Smart Dentin Grinder stops immediately when the cap is open.

Step 4, Configuring the Smart Dentin Grinder

The Smart Dentin Grinder enables you to configure its grinding time and sorting time.

TIP:

We highly recommend grinding less time as opposed to more time. The reason is that grinding too long produces unusable particulate (particles of less than 200 microns).

Therefore, it is much preferable to grind less time and then to repeat the grinding process by pressing the START button again.

NOTE:

The Smart Dentin Grinder retains the latest configuration that you set (as described on the next page) unless it is powered off.

18

Smart Dentin Grinder User Guide

►

To configure the Smart Dentin Grinder:

1

Grinding time refers to the number of seconds that the Smart Dentin Grinder spins its blade in order to break down the dentin material into particles.

To configure Grinding Time:

Press the GRIND button. The GRIND indicator lights up.

Press the UP and/or the DOWN button as many times as needed in order to set

the preferred Grinding Time.

We recommend setting grinding time to 3 seconds, as shown below:

Figure 15: Grinding for 3 Seconds

2

Sorting Time refers to the number of seconds that the Smart Dentin Grinder vibrates in order to filter the particles through the grinder’s sieve and the removable chamber’s drawers.

To configure the Sorting time, in seconds:

Press the SORT button. The SORT indicator lights up.

Press the UP and/or the DOWN button as many times as needed in order to set the preferred Sorting Time.

We recommend setting sorting time to 20 seconds, as shown below:

Figure 16: Sorting for 20 Seconds

TIP:

To display the currently configured Grinding Time, simply press the GRIND button.

To display the currently configured Sorting Time, simply press the SORT button.

19

Smart Dentin Grinder User Guide

Step 5, Grinding the Teeth

►

To start the Smart Dentin Grinder:

1

Press the START button to start the grinding process. The sorting (vibrating)

Process starts automatically afterwards.

Dentin particles smaller than 1,200 microns fall into the top drawer.

The bottom of the top drawer is mesh that allows particles smaller than 200 microns to fall into the bottom drawer. These particles are to be disposed of.

This leaves particles of between 300 to 1,200 microns in the top drawer. The

Resulting particulate dentin in this top drawer may be two to three times the

Volume of the original root.

2

Click the START button again to grind for another 3 seconds and to sort for another 20 seconds.

3

If large pieces are left in the grinding chamber, then press the START button again to grind for another 3 seconds and to sort for another 20 seconds.

If the teeth appear to be ground already, but the particulate has simply not fallen through the grinding sieve holes, then set the Grinding to 0 and then press the

START button again to only perform the sorting procedure.

20

Smart Dentin Grinder User Guide

Step 6, Cleansing the Particles

►

To cleanse the particles so that they are bacteria free:

1

Pull the chamber drawers out of the disposable chamber, as shown below:

Bottom drawer compartment containing particles that cannot be used. Smaller than 200

microns.

Figure 17: Pulling Out the Drawers

2

Pull out/apart the top drawer compartment, which contains particles of between

300 – 1,200 microns, as shown below:

21

Smart Dentin Grinder User Guide

3

Dump the contents of the top drawer compartment into one of the provided containers.

Figure 19: Harvesting the Implantable Particles

4

Pour the provided cleanser into the container with the particulate. Fill approximately half the container. Make sure the cleansing solution covers all the particulate and a bit more.

WARNING!

The cleansing solution contains high pH (very basic) Sodium hydroxide in ethanol

Wear eye protection while handling the cleansing solution.

5

Close the container’s cap by turning it clockwise. This cleanser dissolves organic material (including bacteria), and leaves the particulate clean and bacteria-free.

6

Leave the particulate in the cleansing solution for 10 minutes at room temperature.

7

Gently take out the cleansing solution with dropper.

8

Pour sterile saline or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) into the container. Fill approximately half the container. Make sure the saline covers all the particulate and a bit more.

9

Leave the particulate in the Pour sterile saline or Phosphate Buffered Saline

(PBS) for 1 minute at room temperature.

10

Gently stick a small piece of sterile gauze into the top of the container in order to

absorb the remaining saline on top of the particulate or take it out using

dropper.
