ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and methods of its use in the treatment of oral tissue are disclosed. The apparatus of the present invention includes a vibrator that is adapted to allow at least one shaft to be mounted thereon, at least one shaft defining a first end and a second end wherein the first end is adapted to be mounted to the vibrator such that vibrational motion is transferred to the shaft, and a tip mounted on the second end of the shaft. The size and conformation of the tip can be altered to the specific treatment. The apparatus uses a vibrational massage to treat and enhance treatment of oral tissue. The apparatus is particularly effective in providing an enhanced treatment used for the application of medicaments to oral tissue, the placement of filling materials in prepared cavities, the treatment of dry sockets, burnishing in desensitizers, placement and cementation of inlays and onlays and treatment of temporomandibular joint disease.
