  • Publication number: 20220233291
    Abstract: An apparatus for treating a tooth includes a proximal chamber and a distal chamber disposed distal the proximal chamber and in fluid communication with the proximal chamber by way of a transition opening. The distal chamber includes an access opening disposed apart from and distal to the transition opening, the access opening to provide fluid communication between a treatment region of the tooth and the distal chamber. The apparatus includes a liquid supply port disposed to direct a liquid stream into the proximal chamber and over at least a portion of the transition opening. The apparatus includes an impingement member arranged within a path of the liquid stream, the impingement member having one or more surfaces positioned to redirect at least a portion of the liquid stream across at least a portion of the transition opening.

  • Publication number: 20210121275
    Abstract: A treatment instrument can include a fluid platform comprising a chamber and an access port to provide fluid communication between a treatment region of the tooth and the chamber, the chamber having a central axis. The treatment instrument can include a first fluid supply port disposed to direct a fluid stream of a first material into the chamber along a stream axis non-parallel to the central axis. The treatment instrument can include a second supply port distal the first fluid supply port, the second supply port disposed to direct a second material to be entrained with the fluid stream into the chamber.

  • Publication number: 20210106402
    Abstract: An apparatus for treating a tooth can include a fluid platform comprising a wall and a chamber at least partially defined by the wall. The fluid platform can be disposed against a tooth to retain fluid in the chamber and provide fluid communication between a treatment region of the tooth and the chamber by way of an access port. The chamber can have a central axis. A liquid supply port can be disposed to direct a liquid stream across the chamber along a stream axis non-parallel to the central axis. A suction port can be exposed to the chamber. The chamber can have a maximum lateral dimension in a plane extending substantially transverse to the central axis, the plane delimited by the wall along a boundary. A projection of the suction port onto the plane can be closer to the boundary than to the central axis of the chamber.
