About irrigating devices
An irrigating device moves the solution instead of letting it sit: in passive ultrasonic irrigation it is energised by a non-cutting ultrasonic tip oscillating in the middle of the prepared canal. Sonic activation is the other form: one such device has polyamide tips that oscillate at a frequency of 6000 hertz. Some systems are built instead to keep the pressure at the tip low, which reduces the risk of pushing solution beyond the root canal.
Adds movement to the solution, where a syringe and needle only deliver it.
