Abstract
A dental strainer unit includes a plastic strainer, a plastic strainer cap, and a transparent, non-rigid plastic housing. The strainer unit can be cost-effectively manufactured and easily disassembled and cleaned. The strainer cap can be manufactured in a variety of sizes to permit different aspirator devices to be attached thereto, and the housing can be snap-fit over the enlarged head of a saliva ejector valve. The dental strainer unit can be used in a modularized dental aspiration system.
