ABSTRACT:
A dental heating apparatus has a cylindrical housing and a heating element in a heating chamber. There is a first tube to transfer air from an air supply source and a second tube to transfer water from a water supply source to the dental tool. The first tube and the second tube enter a first end and exit a second end of the heating chamber. The first tube and the second tube are in a heat conducting contact with and coil around the heating element. There is a preheat temperature sensor in intimate contact with an inlet end of the first and second tube before the first and second tubes contact the heating element. The postheat temperature sensor is in intimate contact with an exit end of the first and second tubes after the first and second tubes break contact with the heating element. There is a heating element circuit connected to the heating element to supply power. A temperature sensor circuit is connected to the preheat and the postheat temperature sensor to provide power to the sensors and transmit electrical signals from the sensors to a temperature control module. The module regulates and displays the temperature of the air and water exiting the first and second tubes, respectively. There is a third tube to deliver drive air to and a fourth tube to exhaust the drive air from the dental tool. The housing may have a fiber optic cable passing through it. The separate tubings and wiring may be placed in a bundle of tubings for better thermal and electrical protection and for better handling.
