| 20110039234 | METHOD OF TREATING DENTAL PERIAPICAL LESIONS - A method of treating a dental periapical lesion at an apex of a tooth root canal, by accessing the dental periapical lesion via the root canal; and removing the dental periapical lesion via the root canal. In the described preferred embodiments, the dental periapical lesion is accessed via an opening made in the tooth crown leading to the root canal; and the dental periapical lesion is removed by passing a rotary ablating device through the tooth crown, the root canal, and the apex, into engagement with the periapical lesion, rotating the ablating device to ablate the dental periapical lesion, and removing debris produced by the ablation of the periapical lesion via the root canal. | 02-17-2011 |

In the described preferred embodiments, the dental periapical lesion is accessed via an opening made in the tooth crown leading to the root canal; and the dental periapical lesion is removed by passing a rotary ablating device through the tooth crown, the root canal, and the apex, into engagement with the periapical lesion, rotating the ablating device to ablate the dental periapical lesion, and removing debris produced by the ablation of the periapical lesion via the root canal. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090176188 | Ablating Apparatus Particularly Useful for Removal of Dental Periapical Lesions - Apparatus for removing a dental periapical lesion at an apex of a root canal in a tooth, includes: an ablating device sized and constructed for (a) introduction through a cavity in the tooth into the root canal; (b) movement therethrough to protrude through the apex into contact with the dental periapical lesion; and (c) rotation while in contact with the dental periapical lesion in order to remove same by ablation. In some described embodiments, the ablating device includes a sleeve and a filament moveable therein to define a protruding curved end to be brought into contact with the dental periapical lesion for ablation thereof by rotation of the filament. In another described embodiment, the ablating device includes a sleeve and a filament within the sleeve and secured at one end to one end of the sleeve, the sleeve being formed with a plurality of slits such that, displacing the sleeve towards its secured end, produces outwardly-bowed surfaces along the slits effective to ablate the dental periapical lesion tissues upon rotation of the sleeve. | 07-09-2009 |
