  • Publication number: 20110020765
    Abstract: A consumable tip assembly for use with a dental tool and a system for irrigation of a tooth root canal. The dental tool has an ultrasonic energy generator positioned therein. The tip assembly provides a single continuous flow path for delivering fluid from a reservoir at the proximal end of the needle to a root canal of a tooth at the distal end of the needle. Energy generated by an ultrasonic energy generator is translated into movement of a needle to provide optimum cleaning to the root canal. The system also includes a pressure source of irrigation fluid connected to the tip assembly. The irrigation fluid has ultrasonic energy imposed thereon as it passes through a hand piece of the dental tool.
