Description:FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to the field of dental waste management systems, particularly focusing on the safe collection and disposal of hazardous materials like mercury and dental amalgam. The device aims to improve environmental and health safety by preventing contamination of plumbing and sewage systems in dental practices.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The metal like mercury is a core part of dental amalgam restoration it has a lots of hazardous effects like nerve damage, loss of sensitivity in hand and feet, difficulty in walking or slurred speech, increased protein in the urine to kidney failure. According to the WHO report, every year tons of mercury is used in dental amalgam fillings. The residual mercury and discarded amalgam particles are directly collected through the suction unit and dumped into sewage which ultimately pollutes the land and water. This wastage can be absorbed by the plants through and fishes through sea and pose a risk for human consumption.
The following prior art is being reported:
US20180289457A1: Apparatus and method for removing amalgam and waste particles from dental office suction effluent. The apparatus includes an upper chamber and a solids collection canister removably secured thereto. Dental office suction effluent drawn through a dental suction wand enters the upper chamber along a lateral flow path above a substantially cylindrical internal wall portion. A gas component of dental office suction effluent changes direction by more than 60° before it exits the upper chamber through an exit port. A riser conveys a liquid and solids component of dental office suction effluent through a drain into the solids collection canister. A flow restrictor allows liquids and gases to exit the solids collection canister interior volume but prohibits solids from exiting the solids collection canister interior volume.
US11963836B2 Detachable recycling container: The detachable recycling container provides dental amalgam recycling systems, useful for recycling particles from a dental liquid effluent drawn, for example, from a suctioning device.
US20210196246A1: Suction Based Saliva Treatment and Collector Device: A device for treatment and collection of saliva provides a base containing aa suction source. A tip having an inlet for collecting a saliva sample is removably attached to the base. A filter material, selected to allow passage of a target biomarker in the saliva sample, is disposed within the tip on a fluid path from the inlet. A collection chamber is disposed on the fluid path downstream of the filter material. The suction source is in fluid communication with the fluid path to draw saliva into the inlet of the tip, through the filter material, and to the collection chamber. Methods for collection of a saliva sample are also provided.
US6592769B1: Filter and collection device for separating materials and use thereof: A device is provided for the filter and collection of one or more material. The device incorporates a manifold with an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit, with an adjustable control handle on the top of the manifold and a baffle plate in the inside of the manifold. The manifold is sealed to the top opening of a collection chamber. During procedures which require withdrawal of material not to be collected, the control handle and baffle plate are adjusted to a pass-through mode which connects a internal adjustable conduit, which transverses through the baffle plate, with the lumen of the inlet and outlet conduits to form a continuous lumen with which to withdraw material not to be collected through. During procedures which require the withdrawal of material to be collected, the control handle and baffle plate are adjusted to a solids mode which orients the baffle plate to face both the lumen of the inlet and outlet conduits. The material to be collected drawn by a vacuum is deflected by the baffle plate and fall by gravity into the collection chamber. The collection chamber is removable and can be covered by a lid. This device is useful for practitioners of dental procedures, jewelry manufacture or repair, scientific research, and other procedures that generate waste that require special disposal or material of value that can be recycled.
Dental procedures, particularly those involving amalgam fillings, generate waste that includes mercury, a highly toxic substance. Traditional dental suction systems primarily use chairside amalgam separators and in-line filters to capture amalgam particles during dental treatments. The conventional systems are often large and cumbersome, occupying substantial space within dental clinics, which can limit their utility, especially in smaller practices. The filters in conventional systems need regular maintenance, including frequent replacement of components to ensure efficiency. These filters can also become clogged with dental debris, reducing their effectiveness over time and increasing operational costs. Many existing solutions are connected directly to the dental chair's plumbing system, leading to potential mercury contamination. This contamination can result in mercury deposition within the plumbing lines, which is challenging to clean and poses a risk of leaking into the sewage system. This leakage can have severe environmental impacts, such as contaminating water sources, impacting marine life, and leading to broader ecological damage. The traditional systems are often not compatible with various types of dental chairs, requiring custom fittings or alterations, which adds to installation complexity and costs. As regulatory bodies enforce stricter guidelines, dental clinics face increasing pressure to adopt systems that minimize mercury emissions. The maintenance and replacement parts for traditional systems can be costly, leading to higher operational expenses for dental practices. Additionally, these systems may not be scalable or economically viable for smaller dental practices, limiting their adoption.
Additionally, the conventional filter system is available for dental chair plumbing unit which filters out amalgam debris. However, this filter is bulky and the plumbing system of the dental chair has to be opened every time to attach this filter. Moreover, the amalgam debris and residual mercury enters into the plumbing and may lodge in the plumbing system. This can lead to damage to the plumbing of the dental chair as well as risk of environmental contamination.
Additionally, the conventional systems are bulky, costly and have complex design due which a learnt -expert need to setup the system for use.
Therefore, there remains a need in the art for a user-friendly, compact, potable efficient, and cost-effective smart suction device that does not suffer from the above-mentioned deficiencies or at least provides a viable, economical and effective solution.
