Abstract
Provided is a detection tool that detects a temperature of air. The detection tool includes a detection section that detects a temperature of air released from an air turbine handpiece, and a main body that includes a surface. The detection section is provided on the surface to allow the air turbine handpiece to be brought close to the detection section.
Claims10
A detection tool, comprising:
- a detection sensor configured to detect a temperature of air released from an air turbine handpiece;
- and
- a main body that includes a surface, the detection sensor being disposed on the surface to allow the air turbine handpiece to be brought close to the detection sensor,
- wherein the air turbine handpiece includes a head and a cutting tool attached to the head, the air turbine handpiece is configured to rotate the cutting tool by a driving force generated by air, the detection sensor includes a thermo-sensitive material which changes color in response to a temperature change, and the thermo-sensitive material changes color when detecting air having a temperature of about 40° C. or more.

A detection method, comprising:
- detecting, with a detection sensor on a main body, a temperature of air released from an air turbine handpiece, the main body including a surface on which the detection sensor is disposed to allow the air turbine handpiece to be brought close to the detection sensor;
- and
- changing a color on the detection sensor on the main body in response to the detected temperature of the air released from the air turbine handpiece being above a predetermined threshold,
- wherein the air turbine handpiece includes a head and a cutting tool attached to the head, the air turbine handpiece is configured to rotate the cutting tool by a driving force generated by air, the detection sensor includes a thermo-sensitive material which changes color in response to a temperature change, and the thermo-sensitive material changes color when detecting air having a temperature of about 40° C. or more.
