3-18. IRRIGATING SYRINGE

Irrigating syringes (figure 3-25) are used to wash pus, debris, and other extraneous material from tooth sockets, cavities, or inflamed gingival flaps. The tip is usually metal and should be blunt. If a syringe with a glass barrel is used, particular care must be exercised; the glass barrel could shatter if it is hit with a surgical bur.
