ABSTRACT:
A dental instrument including separable spray and suction mechanisms. The spray mechanism is preferably an air and water syringe of the type conventionally found in a dentist office. The spray mechanism has an elongate nozzle. The suction mechanism includes a tubular structure joined to a valve which is in turn joined to a suction or vacuum source. The tube includes an interior passageway and a forward suction opening into the passageway. The tube also includes a bend and has an aperture at the bend for removeably receiving the spray nozzle. In this manner the spray nozzle can be selectively inserted within the passageway of the suction mechanism. A user is then able to actuate either the spray mechanism and/or the suction mechanism utilizing a single hand that is holding the instrument 1. Alternatively, the mechanism may be removed from the suction mechanism and be utilized as an independent tool.
