Benefits of technology

[0013]There is a continuing need for a device in endodontic root canal treatment wherein the irrigation and activation occurs simultaneously. Also it is desirous, to provide the irrigant

Problems solved by technology

The issue with this design is that the relatively large amount of opening within the stent does not allow for any pressurization of the fluid when exiting the device.
The “stent-like” design lends to increased fragility and increased risk for the device becoming damaged during use.
There is no discussion of the needle having any type of activation though which limits the efficacy of the device and requires much higher pressures of the irrigant to adjust for the lack of activation of the irrigant within the canal.

Embodiment Construction

[0045]The above-mentioned aspects, as well as other aspects, features, and advantages of the present disclosure are described below in connection with various embodiments, with reference made to the accompanying figures.

[0046]The term “irrigant” and “fluid” are used interchangeably.

[0047]The dental device according the present disclosure is designed to perform the function of both continuous irrigation and activation simultaneously or intermittently in an endodontic application. The irrigant is replenished within the root canal walls while the activation is occurring.

[0048]The dental device includes a hollow needle (1) having a tip end (11) and a connector portion (12); and a handle (13). The connector portion includes at least one tube connector (191) as shown in FIG. 19 that is integral part of the connector portion of the hollow needle or a plurality of openings on the connector portion (51) as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5. The handle on one end is configured to be affixed to the conne...

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a dental device for delivering fluid continuously while activated in an endodontic application. The dental device includes a hollow needle having a tip end and a connector portion; and a handle. One end of the handle is configured to be affixed to the connector portion of the hollow needle. The opposite end of the handle is capable of being attached to an endodontic handpiece or a sonic agitator for the activation. The connector portion includes at least one tube connector that is an integral part of the connector portion of the hollow needle or a plurality of openings on the connector portion to accommodate the hollow needle to a connector. The connector is a modular fluid delivery connector which is removable from the needle such that it can be reused.
