Irrigation needles in endodontics is a specialized, thin, hollow needle used to deliver a fluid (irrigation solution) into a tooth’s root canal during endodontic procedures. This procedure allows for the cleaning and removal of debris and bacteria from the canal, effectively disinfecting the area. Essentially, it’s a tool designed to precisely flush out the inside of a tooth during root canal treatment. MITOS offers dental irrigation needle closed-end side vented or side port open ended notched tip.
A closed-end side vented irrigation needle is generally preferred over a notched tip needle because it creates less apical pressure, reducing the risk of irritant extrusion into the periapical tissues, making it safer for most root canal irrigation procedures, especially when working near the apex. A notched tip needle might be used in specific situations where high shear stress is desired for debris removal, but with careful monitoring to avoid excessive pressure.
