An apparatus for applying dental agents to tooth surfaces. The apparatus includes a syringe-type dispenser (12) for holding a quantity of dental agent and an applicator tip (14) having adjustable bristles (28) at one end. The applicator tip is curved to accomodate access to tooth surfaces undergoing restorative dental procedures. The bristles (28) are in communication with the syringe-type dispenser (12), thereby allowing the dental agent to be continuously applied to the tooth surfaces without the need to stop the procedure and rewet the applicator in a dental agent source. The syringe-type applicator permits accurate control of the amount of dental agent applied to the tooth surface. In this way, the tooth surface receives neither an excessive nor an insufficient amount of the dental agent. Moreover, the bristles (12) may be pushed in to permit the dental agent to be precisely applied to a very small tooth surface, such as pits and fissures, or pulled out to permit the bristles (14) to fan out for application of the dental agent to larger tooth surfaces. |
