Abstract:
A dental irrigation device is provided having an irrigation system and means for pressurization. The irrigation system includes a reservoir having a volume of at least approximately eight ounces and an attachment mechanism adapted for positioning the reservoir on a bar of a dental unit. The reservoir has connecting means configured for providing an irrigant under pressure to a handpiece adapted for use with dental tools by a surgeon. The irrigant may be pressurized by an external source of compressed air through connecting means, for example, or have a pump in communication with the irrigant.
