ABSTRACT:
A dental delivery tool sized and configured to deliver a dental composition into a dental preparation includes: (A) a hollow body configured to deliver a dental composition therefrom; and (B) a plurality of fibers coupled to at least a portion of the hollow body. A portion of the fibers extend a length “L” distally beyond the rim of the hollow body. A portion of the fibers are coupled along the wall a distance “D” proximally with respect to the rim. The distance “D” is at least about two and one half times greater than the length “L”. Employing the tool, which may be a delivery tip, for example, the interior walls of a dental preparation may be conveniently brushed or cleaned during a procedure in which a dental composition is delivered using the dental delivery tool.
