Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a photodental device that can deliver specific light wavelengths to animal oral cavities, particularly dogs. The device may be provided in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, for breeds from under 2 kg (4.4 lbs) to over 115 kg (254 lbs). The device has a container which may protect light sources and may be used to receive light transmission, comprising an illuminating member. The device can further include replaceable housings with photoactivated compounds. The device may be configured for untethered use by an animal. Alternatively, the electro-optical components can be placed in a separate body and transmit light through a tethered connection to a member used by an animal. Sensor components may activate light generation components in predetermined conditions. Alternatively, humans may control activation. The present disclosure also relates to methods of photodentistry using the photodental device as bactericidal treatment and periodontal treatment.

Claim (Index 20):
A device for radiating teeth and tissue in a mouth of an animal, in particular a dog, comprising:\n a plurality of light sources generating specific light wavelengths inside an illuminating member, or transmitting specific light wavelengths into an illuminating member, said wavelengths aimed in all directions, wherein only some of said light sources need to illuminate to satisfactorily destroy dental disease-causing planktonic and biofilm bacteria; a sensory probe to detect the presence and location of said planktonic and biofilm bacteria inside an animal's, particularly a dog's mouth, and sending this data to a controller with a processor that selects light sources directed at those locations to illuminate; said light wavelengths emitting from said illuminating member and a replaceable housing to the surrounding environment without significant attenuation; said light wavelengths killing dental disease-causing planktonic and biofilm bacteria.
