Which dental tool is designed to remove particles and large amounts of liquid from the oral cavity?

The high-velocity oral evacuator is specifically designed for the efficient removal of particles and large volumes of liquid from the oral cavity during dental procedures. This tool works by creating a powerful suction that helps to maintain a clear working area for dental professionals, making it easier to see and treat the area being worked on while simultaneously managing debris, blood, and other fluids. It is particularly useful during procedures that involve high quantities of fluid or the generation of fine particles, as it quickly eliminates any obstruction caused by these substances.

While dental suction instruments like the saliva ejector do provide some suction capabilities, they are generally used for different purposes, such as removing smaller amounts of saliva and fluids to keep the mouth dry during a procedure. The high-speed handpiece is a tool used to drill and prepare teeth but does not have the capacity to remove fluids. Thus, the high-velocity oral evacuator is the most suitable choice for handling larger volumes of liquids and particles effectively.
