  • Patent number: 5230626
    Abstract: An absorbent dental device has an inner core roll of absorbent material adjustably telescoped within a hollow cylindrical outer roll of absorbent material. The adjustable positioning of the inner core roll within the hollow outer roll permits adjustably sizing of the device, while the pliant material of the rolls facilitates shaping of the device. The device may be used separately as a fluid and debris absorbing device within the patient's mouth during a dental procedure. The device may also be used as an aspirator cover to prevent damage of the mouth tissues and promote patient comfort while at the same time providing the aspirator with an extension of desired size and shape.
