Abstract:
A saliva ejector construction prevents tissue at the bottom inside of the patient's mouth from being aspirated by the vacuum action of the saliva ejector, thereby preventing discomfort for the patient; and the structure of the saliva ejector provides a tissue contacting contour, so that it not only rests and acts comfortably at the bottom of the mouth but enables complete suctioning of the saliva. A saliva ejector tip provides the accomplishment of comfort and complete suctioning of the saliva by defining elongated, vertical openings, and a spherical surface to contact the patient's tissue.
