Definitions

  • a flushing procedure is provided such that the user may cleanse the complete dental system with water when switching from one type of medicament to another.
  • This aspect of the invention is unique to the provision of a system in which a variety of different fluids may be introduced, some of which may not be compatable with each other, or just merely the fact that the next patient should not be subjected to the fluid of the previous patient.
  • the system has a built-in flushing cycle to permit the necessary flushing thereof.
  • FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of ultrasonic instrument means for use in the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevational view partially in crosssection of the instrument means of the present invention.
  • FIG. 5C is a view in cross-section taken along the plane indicated by the line 5C SC in FIG. 5A;
  • FIGS. 6 6D are similar to FIGS. 5 5D and illustrate another embodiment of the invention.
