ABSTRACT:
An illuminated dental suction appliance is disclosed. The appliance includes a suction component having a tubular member and a light projecting tip. The light projecting tip is formed at one end of the tubular member and also at least partially defines an inlet for the tubular member. The opposite end of the tubular member is operably interengaged with a source of suction. Light is transmitted from a fiberoptic illuminator along the length of the tubular member to the light projecting tip. That tip projects light from the illuminator into the patient's mouth.
