Apparatus and methods for endodontic treatment of teeth provide effective cleaning of organic material (such as pulp and diseased tissue) from the root canal system. In an embodiment, a compressor system generates high pressure liquid (e.g., water) that flows through an orifice to produce a high-velocity collimated jet of liquid. The high-velocity jet is directed toward a surface of a tooth, for example, an exposed dentinal surface, and impingement of the jet onto the surface generates an acoustic wave that propagates throughout the tooth. The acoustic wave effectively detaches organic material from dentinal surfaces and tubules. The detached organic material is flushed from the root canal system by the liquid jet and/or by additional irrigation.

La présente invention concerne un appareil et des procédés de traitement endodontiuqe de dents assurant le nettoyage efficace de matière organique (telle que la pulpe et le tissu malade) à partir du système du canal radiculaire. Dans un mode de réalisation, un système compresseur génère un liquide à haute pression (par exemple, de l'eau) qui s'écoule à travers un orifice pour produire un jet orienté à grande vitesse de liquide. Le jet à grande vitesse est dirigé vers une surface d'une dent, par exemple, une surface dentinaire exposée,et l'impact du jet sur la surface génère une onde acoustique qui se propage à travers toute la dent. L'onde acoustique détache efficacement la matière organique des surfaces et tubules dentinaires. La matière organique détachée est rincée hors du système du canal radiculaire par le jet liquide et/ou par une irrigation supplémentaire.
