ABSTRACT:
A non-rotary caries removal and restoration system for use in the treatment of tooth structures. The system includes at least two solution constituent reservoirs adapted to separately store the constituents of a solution capable of abating organic tooth decay. Each of the solution constituent reservoirs are fluidly connected to an activation reservoir by means of pump and solution constituent conduits. The activation reservoir is adapted to receive, mix, and activate the solution constituents to form and hold said solution. A solution channel is fluidly connected to the activation reservoir by a solution conduit and adapted to dispense the solution upon or into a carious lesion having an organic component or matrix of decay. A handpiece shaped for hand use houses driver adapted to communicate sonic energy to an energy transfer tip. The energy transfer tip is releaseably coupled to the driver and configured to agitate the solution dispensed upon or into the carious lesion or matrix of tooth decay. A selectively engageable driver activation device is connected to the driver allowing an operator to selectively engage the driver to agitate the solution dispensed upon or into the carious lesion or matrix of tooth decay.
