  • Patent number: 7293989
    Abstract: An instrument for periodontal treatment includes a blade (1) which is integrally connected to a head (2). The head (2) can be coupled to a handpiece to impart a vibratory movement to the blade (1). The blade (1) has an active part (1 a) distributed along the blade (1) on a side defined by a plane passing through the axis of the blade (1). The center of the blade (1) is additionally provided with an irrigation channel (4) for receiving a liquid which opens out at the center of the active part (1 a) of the blade (1) along the major part of its length. This ensures, on the one hand, cleaning of the active part (1 a) of the tool during a procedure, and on the other hand, removal of the detached particles.
