Abstract
An apparatus for endodontic treatment, comprising: a nozzle connected to a fluid source comprising: a tip small enough to be inserted into a pulp chamber of a tooth; an inner geometry which forms a flow parameters including non-axial flow direction of nozzle fluid flowing through the inner geometry such that discharge fluid discharged from the inner geometry increase rotation of root canal fluid within a root canal sufficiently to remove tissue from the root canal.
Claims1
A method for endodontic treatment comprising:
- placing a nozzle at an entrance to a root canal;
- discharging at least one fluid jet, from said nozzle, at an angle which causes said fluid jet to flow along a wall of a root canal;
- and
- suctioning root canal fluid and debris from said root canal;
- wherein said discharging and said suctioning are controlled to maintain one or more of root canal fluid flow along said wall, root canal fluid flow at a root canal apex.
