Microendodontics titanium ultrasonic dental tool

A dental tool for use with an ultrasonic transducer, the tool comprising:

• a substantially elongate tool defined by a shaft having a proximal end with attachment means at said proximal end for attachment to an ultrasonic transducer, and a distal end having a tip configured for performing a dental procedure;
• and
• said tool formed predominantly of a titanium alloy containing about six percent aluminum, and containing about four percent vanadium, wherein said shaft is roughened by minute depressions in the body of the shaft at least in an area adjacent the tip.

An ultrasonic dental tool for use in an ultrasonic transducer for dental procedures, the tool comprising:

• an elongated tool defined by a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, a connection member on said proximal end for attachment to an ultrasonic transducer, and a tip configured for performing a dental procedure on said distal end, and a substantially gradual tapered portion intermediate said connection member and said tip at said distal end, said shaft composed substantially uniformly throughout of a titanium alloy of about 5.5 to about 6.5% aluminum, about 3.5 to about 4.5% vanadium.
