The appliance (10, Figure 1) includes a body portion (27) and a nozzle portion (30) through which a spray of liquid droplets exits from a distal end thereof for cleaning of dental regions. The nozzle includes an ori- fice (36) at a proximal end thereof adjacent the body portion, as well as a pump (38) for moving liquid into an area of the nozzle just forward of the ori- fice. A mechanical system (12, 13, 14) is provided for moving a plunger or piston element (16) first away from the orifice under tension, such as a com- pression spring(24), and then controllably releasing the plunger or piston to-ward the orifice, the plunger/piston moving with sufficient force that atmo-spheric air which has been drawn into the appliance between the plunger or piston is forced through the orifice at a sufficiently high rate of speed to pro-duce a spray of fluid droplets for dental cleaning when the moving air comes into contact with the liquid in the nozzle.

La présente invention concerne un appareil (10, figure 1) comportant une partie corps (27) et une partie buse (30), à travers laquelle une pulvérisation de gouttelettes de liquide est émise, à partir d'une extrémité distale correspondante, pour le nettoyage de régions dentaires. La buse comporte un orifice (36) situé au niveau d'une extrémité proximale correspondante adjacente à la partie corps, ainsi qu'une pompe (38) permettant de déplacer le liquide en direction d'une zone de la buse située immédiatement en amont de l'orifice. Un système mécanique (12, 13, 14) permet de déplacer un élément plongeur ou piston (16), d'abord en l'éloignant de l'orifice sous l'action d'une tension, notamment d'un ressort de compression (24), puis de relâcher de manière contrôlée ledit plongeur ou piston en direction de l'orifice, le plongeur/piston se déplaçant alors avec une force suffisante pour que l'air atmosphérique, aspiré dans l'appareil entre ledit plongeur ou piston, est forcé à travers l'orifice à une vitesse suffisamment élevée pour produire une pulvérisation de gouttelettes de liquide permettant le nettoyage dentaire lorsque l'air en déplacement entre en contact avec le liquide dans la buse.
