title: [Presentation of a portable mouth irrigator. Possibilities of improving the cleansing effect and the activation of the peripheral blood flow in periodontal prophylaxis and therapy].
abstract: Oral irrigation is an approved procedure in periodontal prophylaxis and therapy. The author describes a portable oral irrigator and explains its design principle and working. By using new constructional elements (such as the swirl nozzle at the front of the mouthpiece) and by impulsing individually the flow of liquid via solenoid valves which are controlled by timing components, it is possible to improve the cleansing effect as well as the massage effect (in the sense of an activation of the peripheral blood-supply to the periodontium).
