Device for shaping and simultaneous flushing and suction of a tooth root canal

A hollow endodontic instrument (10) for shaping and simultaneous flushing and suctioning a tooth root canal comprising:

• a) an inner spicular passage (200) for delivering an irrigation solution,
• b) a hollow elongated mesh-like structure (100) for shaping a tooth root canal containing an active part and a coronal part, surrounding the inner spicular passage (200), and the active part protruding over the length of the inner spicular passage (200), and
• c) a suction element (300) forming at least one outer passage for sucking the irrigation solution surrounding the inner spicular passage (200),
• wherein the inner spicular passage (200) is insertable into the tooth root canal, and wherein the suction element (300) surrounds at least a portion of the hollow elongated mesh-like structure (100) and/or is located in the coronal part of the hollow elongated mesh-like structure (100), and
• wherein the active part of the hollow elongated mesh-like structure (100) for shaping a tooth root canal comprises longitudinal elements (110) and circumferential elements (120) that connect adjacent longitudinal elements (110).
