[Evaluation of studies on the optimal impact pressure of the fluid stream in mouth irrigation].
To make comparable literature data on liquid pressures achieved with different devices and nozzles in oral irrigation, it is necessary to indicate not only the initial pressure in the feed pipe but also the actual pressure of the liquid jet upon the tissue. Using a special technique of his own, the author demonstrated that the pressure in the nozzle is considerably reduced by employing a supplementary swirl nozzle. The hypothesis that, when treating inflammatory periodontal diseases, the impact pressure of the liquid jet should not exceed considerably the inner pressure of the arterioles, capillaries and venules was corroborated.
