Abstract
Systems and methods for using a liquid jet apparatus for dental treatments are disclosed. In one implementation, the liquid jet apparatus may include a handpiece configured to deliver a high velocity liquid jet to a desired location in the mouth of a patient. The handpiece may include a positioning member having a channel through or along which the jet can propagate. The positioning member may have a distal end portion configured to be at least partially disposed in a pulp cavity, canal space, or opening in the tooth under treatment. During operation, the jet may impact an impingement surface of the distal end portion of the positioning member and be deflected as a spray through one or more openings in the distal end portion. The liquid jet apparatus may be used for root canal treatments.
Claims (27)
1. A dental instrument comprising:
a pressure wave generator configured to form a liquid jet that creates acoustic energy, the pressure wave generator comprising a positioning member, the positioning member comprising:
a channel or lumen along which or through which the liquid jet can propagate;
a distal end portion comprising an impingement surface on which the liquid jet impinges and is deflected back into jets or spray; and
one or more openings proximal of the impingement surface that permit deflected liquid to exit the positioning member and interact with a surrounding environment at a treatment region of a tooth.
2. The dental instrument of claim 1 , further comprising a nozzle configured to form the liquid jet.
3. The dental instrument of claim 2 , wherein the nozzle comprises an orifice configured to provide a coherent, collimated jet.
4. The dental instrument of claim 3 , wherein the orifice is substantially circularly symmetric, and preferably formed at an angle to a proximal surface of the nozzle.
5. The dental instrument of claim 1 , wherein the pressure wave generator is configured to generate a hydroacoustic field including acoustic power over a broad range of acoustic frequencies.
6. The dental instrument of claim 1 , wherein the channel or lumen comprises a bend.
7. The dental instrument of claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the channel or lumen changes along a longitudinal axis.
8. The dental instrument of claim 1 , wherein the impingement surface comprises one or more angled or curved portions.
9. The dental instrument of claim 8 , wherein the one or more angled or curved portions angle or curve back toward a direction of the oncoming jet.
10. The dental instrument of claim 1 , wherein the impingement surface is configured to direct the jets or spray towards the one or more openings.
11. The dental instrument of claim 10 , wherein the impingement surface is configured to direct the jets or spray towards a proximal end of the one or more openings.
12. The dental instrument of claim 1 , further comprising a flow tube configured to deliver a low-velocity stream of fluid to the treatment region of the tooth.
13. The dental instrument of claim 12 , wherein the fluid provided by the flow tube is different from the liquid used for the liquid jet.
14. The dental instrument of claim 12 , wherein the flow tube is disposed around the positioning member.
15. The dental instrument of claim 1 , wherein the impingement surface comprises a protective coating.
16. A dental instrument comprising:
a positioning member having a channel configured to deliver a high-velocity liquid jet to a treatment region of a tooth, the positioning member having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the distal end portion configured to deliver liquid into the treatment region of the tooth;
a backflow restrictor configured to be applied to the tooth and to inhibit backflow of fluid out of an opening in the tooth during operation of the liquid jet, at least a portion of the backflow restrictor disposed between the proximal end portion and the distal end portion of the positioning member; and
a flow tube configured to deliver a low-velocity stream of fluid along with the liquid to the treatment region of the tooth.
17. The dental instrument of claim 16 , wherein the fluid provided by the flow tube is different from the liquid used for the liquid jet.
18. The dental instrument of claim 16 , wherein the flow tube is disposed around the positioning member.
19. The dental instrument of claim 18 , wherein the flow tube is configured to deliver the low-velocity stream of fluid in a channel between an outer surface of the positioning member and an inner surface of the flow tube.
20. The dental instrument of claim 16 , wherein the distal end portion of the positioning member comprises an impingement surface on which the liquid jet impinges and is deflected back into jets or spray.
