The invention relates to a device for treating the pulp-canals and -chamber of a tooth, the crown of which presents a previously opened pulp-chamber in which said canals open, comprising an apparatus tightly adaptable to the crown of the tooth and providing in the pulp-chamber and the pulp-canals of said tooth for the circulation of a treating solution acting substantially upon the vasculo-nervous bundle or the necrotic magma of the tooth, the pressure of the treating solution being subjected within the pulp-chamber and the pulp-canals to periodical impulses combined to oscillations of substantially higher frequency. |

Examples of apparatus, methods, and compositions for endodontic treatments are described. The apparatus can include a fluid platform configured to substantially retain fluid in a tooth chamber during treatment. The fluid platform can help maintain fluid circulation in the tooth chamber as fluid flows into and out of the tooth chamber. The apparatus can also include a pressure wave generator configured to generate acoustic waves that can be used for cleaning root canals and tooth surfaces in the tooth chamber. Examples of pressure wave generators include a liquid jet, an electromagnetic energy delivery device, and an ultrasonic device. The fluid can include antiseptic or antibacterial solutions to assist in tooth cleaning. The fluid may be degassed to have a reduced dissolved gas content (compared to non- degassed fluids used in endodontic treatments), which may improve the effectiveness of the pressure wave generation or the cleaning. |

A device for treating a root canal in a tooth including a fixture piece having a lumen and a distal tip, a first electrode in communication with the lumen, and a sonic or ultrasonic energy source. The first electrode is configured to deliver electrical energy to an irrigating fluid passing through the lumen prior to discharge from the distal tip. Sonic or ultrasonic energy source is provided from the fixture piece for delivery of sonic or ultrasonic energy to the root canal. A fluid supply line or replaceable cartridge can be provided to delivery irrigating fluid to the fixture piece. A method for treatment of a root canal and kit assembly are further provided. |

A dental apparatus is disclosed. The dental apparatus can comprise a pressure wave generator to be disposed at a treatment region of a tooth. The pressure wave generator can include an opening to deliver a flowable filling material to the treatment region. The apparatus can include a reservoir for supplying the filling material to the pressure wave generator. The pressure wave generator can be configured to generate pressure waves through the treatment region to cause the filling material to substantially fill the treatment region. |

Systems and methods are provided for cleaning or disinfecting a target region. A fluid including a plurality of gas bubbles is placed into an interaction zone. The interaction zone is a volume that extends into the target region or that is adjacent to the target region. The fluid in the interaction zone is exposed to electromagnetic radiation, where the electromagnetic radiation has a wavelength that is substantially absorbed by the fluid. The fluid in the interaction zone substantially absorbs the electromagnetic radiation to create an acoustic shock wave and a pressure wave. The acoustic shock wave and the pressure wave cause a movement of the fluid and cavitation effects that are configured to clean or disinfect the target region. |
