Abstract
The invention concerns a hand apparatus (1), in particular for dental purposes, for dispensing a pasty filler mass (M) the viscosity of which can be reduced by supplying vibration energy, having an apparatus housing (5), having a container (4) for the pasty filler mass (M), having an exit nozzle (11) standing in connection with the container (4), having a vibration generator (3), and having pressure production means (18) for exercising pressure on the pasty filler mass (M). In order to improve the transfer of vibrations in the region of the of the hand apparatus the vibration generator (3) and the container (4) are mounted movably with respect to the apparatus housing (5) and are directly vibration-coupled with each other.
Claims9
A dental handgrip for delivering filling compound into a tooth cavity at a treatment site comprising:
- a connection device, to which a filling compound container is connectible, a fluid-operated feeding device operable to feed the filling compound from the filling compound container when the filling compound container is connected to said connection device;
- and
- a fluid-actuated vibration generator to selectively transmit vibrations to the filling compound to assist in feeding the filling compound to the treatment site, said fluid-actuated vibration generator being arranged in the handgrip, so that the vibrations generated by the vibration generator can be transmitted up to a delivering opening from which the filling compound is delivered to the treatment site, and wherein the handgrip is designed such that fluid which actuates the vibration generator does not suck the filling compound out of the filling compound container.
