ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10) for use during dental procedures is disclosed. A tongue deflector (12) is coupled to an aspiration tube (24). The aspiration tube (24) is in turn coupled to a bite tube (38) which is held in place by a patient's teeth. A vacuum gap (30) provides suction sufficient to aspirate liquid and small particles of debris which collect during a dental procedure, while bite tube (38) maintains the patient's mouth in an open position and tongue deflector (12) retracts the patient's tongue away from the area in which the dental procedure is being performed. By sliding aspiration tube (24) in relation to tongue deflector (12), the level of suction can be controlled.
