Abstract

Provided is a dental ultrasonic cleaning device that efficiently cleans teeth or dentures in an oral cavity using ultrasonic waves. A dental ultrasonic cleaning deviceemits ultrasonic waves through a cleaning-liquid (W) to the surface of a cleaning-target, ultrasonically cleaning it. An ultrasonic hornpropagates ultrasonic waves being generated by an ultrasonic-wave transducerand emits them from the vibratory surfaceprovided at the tip-end of the horn. A liquid-reserving partis provided, surrounding the vibratory surfaceof the ultrasonic horn, which temporarily reserves the cleaning-liquid (W) between the vibratory surfaceand the cleaning-target. A cap-memberis provided at a certain interval opposite the liquid-reserving part. A cleaning-liquid discharge-tube inletis connected to a vacuum tubewithin the cap-member, allowing the cleaning-liquid Wused during the ultrasonic cleaning to be vacuumed from the oral cavity, into the cap-member, and then discharged through the vacuum tube
