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 7):
A device for radiating teeth, tissue and bone, in a mouth of an animal, in particular a dog, comprising:\n light sources and electrical circuits in a generating unit that is external to a dog's mouth, said light sources radiating specific light wavelengths; at least one from the group consisting of optical tubes, guides, pipes, and fibers, having a proximal end that receives said radiation from said light sources in said generating unit, and a distal end that outputs said light to radiate said teeth and tissue in said mouth; an umbilical hose that surrounds and protects said optical tubes, guides, pipes, and fibers from environmental insults and bending beyond their rated capacity; a tether system composed of a linear extent of resilient material, wherein said tether system protects said umbilical hose and said optical tubes, guides, pipes, and fibers from stretching, bending, kinking and damage; an illuminating member in which said light source and associated electrical circuits are protected from bite and jaw crush forces by techniques selected from the group consisting of materials largely impervious to said forces, structures that absorb and resist said forces, and mixtures thereof; a replaceable housing capable of coupling to the illuminating member having shape and material that conform to animal, particularly dog, preferences and dimensions; said radiation passing through said illuminating member and said housing, without substantially attenuating said radiation's intensity; said radiation a light output of continuous radiation or pulse radiation;
