Abstract
An endodontic irrigator tip (20) having a cannula (60) with an annealed distal portion (65) and a proximal portion (63) enables the cannula (60) to easily move within a root canal. The cannula (60) extends from a hub (22) that is adapted for coupling with a syringe or other delivery device. The cannula (60) has an outlet orifice for delivering an irrigant out of the endodontic irrigator tip and into the root canal. The outlet orifice may be defined by a rounded rim that optimally enables the distal insertion end of the cannula to be advanced within the root canal.
Claims
1. An endodontic irrigator tip comprising: a hub comprising proximal and distal ends and a hollow interior chamber through which fluid is delivered; a single, integrated tip means, attached to the distal end of said hub, for delivering fluid to a root canal of a tooth, and comprising, first means at a distal portion of the tip means, for providing an annealed, flexible portion which is bendable and comfortable to the root canal as the tip means traverses the root canal; and second means at a proximal portion of the tip means, for providing a non-annealed, more rigid portion which facilitates traversing the root canal with said tip means.
2. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 1, wherein the tip means comprises a conduit defined by an interior surface of the delivery means, the conduit receiving fluids via the hollow interior chamber of the hub and said conduit terminating at an outlet orifice such that fluids can be delivered through the conduit and out of the outlet orifice.
3. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 1, further comprising means for coupling the proximal end of the hub to a source for dispensing fluid to the irrigator tip.
4. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 1, wherein the tip means has a length in a range from about 10 millimeters to about 35 millimeters.
5. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 1, wherein the tip means has a conduit with a gauge in a range from about 33 gauge to about 18 gauge.
6. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 1, wherein the tip means has a length such that there is a ratio between the length of the annealed portion and the overall length of the tip means ranging from about 0.5% to about 90%.
7. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 1, wherein the tip means has a length such that there is a ratio between the length of the annealed portion and the overall length of the tip means ranging from about 20% to about 60%.
8. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 1, wherein the tip means has a length such that there is a ratio between the overall length of the annealed portion and the length of the tip means ranging from about 20% to about 35%.
9. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 1, wherein the annealed portion has a length in a range from about 0.5 mm to about 31.5 mm.
10. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 1, wherein the annealed portion has a length in a range from about 2 mm to about 12 mm.
11. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 1, wherein the annealed portion has a length in a range from about 5 mm to about 8 mm.
12. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 1, wherein the outlet orifice is defined by a rounded rim.
13. An endodontic irrigator tip comprising: a hub comprising proximal and distal ends, and a hollow chamber defined by an interior surface of the hub, wherein the hollow chamber has an inlet for providing fluid communication with a source of fluid; a one-piece cannula extending from the distal end of the hub with a length and outer diameter that permits insertion of the cannula into a root canal of a tooth, the cannula comprising, a conduit defined by an interior surface of the cannula, an inlet that is in fluid communication with the hollow chamber of the hub, an outlet orifice located at the distal insertion end of the cannula such that fluids can be delivered from the hollow chamber, through the conduit and then out of the outlet orifice, an annealed distal portion which is bendable and comfortable to the root canal as the tip means traverses the root canal, and a non-annealed, more rigid portion which facilitates traversing the root canal with said cannula.
14. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 13, further comprising means for coupling the proximal end of the hub to the source of fluid.
15. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 13, wherein the cannula has a length in a range from about 10 millimeters to about 35 millimeters.
16. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 13, wherein the cannula has a conduit with a gauge in a range from about 33 gauge to about 18 gauge. 24
17. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 13, wherein the cannula has a length such that there is a ratio between the length of the annealed portion and the length of the cannula ranging from about 0.5% to about 90%.
18. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 13, wherein the cannula has a length such that there is a ratio between the length of the annealed portion and the length of the cannula ranging from about 20% to about 60%.
19. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 13, wherein the cannula has a length such that there is a ratio between the length of the annealed portion and the length of the cannula ranging from about 20% to about 35%.
20. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 13, wherein the annealed portion has a length in a range from about 0.5 mm to about 31.5 mm.
21. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 13, wherein the annealed portion has a length in a range from about 2 mm to about 12 mm.
22. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 13, wherein the annealed portion has a length in a range from about 5 mm to about 8 mm.
23. An endodontic irrigator tip as recited in claim 13, wherein the outlet orifice is defined by a rounded rim.
