Abstract

The present invention relates to apparatuses and methods of endodontic treatment. The endodontic treatment system includes an endodontic device for use in endodontic procedures. The endodontic deviceis coupled to a fluid delivery system and includes an end effector, a first cannula (70), and a second cannula (72). The first cannula (70) and the second cannula (72) are movable relative to one another to an extended position in which the second cannula (72) extends from the first cannula (70). A method for endodontic treatment of a root canal of a tooth includes moving a first cannula (70) andthe second cannula (72) relative to one another from a first position to a second position in which the second cannula (72) extends from the first cannula (70) into the root canal and evacuating the irrigant from the root canal with the second cannula (72).

Description

[0001] cross reference [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 191,845, filed July 13, 2015, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 220,534, filed September 18, 2015, the disclosures of which The content is expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to methods and devices for use during endodontic or root canal treatments, and more particularly to devices and methods for dispensing fluids and withdrawing such fluids from root canals. Background technique [0004] To preserve a tooth that has developed an infected pulp or abscess, diseased tissue is removed from the tooth. Removal of diseased tissue prevents further bacterial growth within the tooth and may preserve the tooth. Endodontic or root canal treatment of the identified tooth may be necessary for this purpose. [0005] To initiate a root canal, the physician cuts an opening thro...
