A system of in vivo testing for recently viable dental cellular debris is disclosed herein. The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for detecting for the presence of cellular debris from an endodontic cavity and other areas of a tooth by testing for the presence of cellular debris such as Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). The sample is collected from a tooth or endodontic cavity and combined with a chemical indicator which causes a detectable change in the indicator that is sensed by a luminescence reader. The level of ATP in a sample corresponds to the level of contamination still present in the tooth or endodontic cavity and can be used to determine what additional steps, if any, are necessary in order to clean and disinfect the tooth. This method of sampling the tooth or endodontic cavity allows for a rapid, chair-side, affordable, and easy to use method to determine the level of cellular contamination.
An applicator for a syringe is provided that includes a hub configured to be disposed at least partially within a nozzle of the syringe and defining a fluid passage therethrough, with one or barbs on the hub that frictionally and sealingly engage an interior of the nozzle in a manner minimizing void space associated with waste of deliverable material, and an applicator tip extending distally from the hub. The barb(s) may have varying diameters in order to enable the applicator to be engaged and utilized with syringes having different diameter nozzles. Further the fluid passage through the hub and applicator tip is dimensioned to minimize the volume of material that is retained within the applicator after use, thereby increasing the volume of material that can dispensed from the syringe for use in a procedure or procedures and minimize waste.

In certain embodiments, the lectin specifically binds to one or more of a β-galactoside, an &alρha;- or β-N-acetylglucosamine, or a sialic acid moiety. Methods involving avidin or an antibody labelled with a fluorophore are also disclosed.
A generally non-acidic hemostatic agent, having a relatively neutral pH comprising a magnesium compound, such as a magnesium chloride, a magnesium sulfate and/or a magnesium acetate based compound. The resultant agent is generally less caustic than previous agents, when using a similar amount of active material.
A syringe filling apparatus having a housing, a fluid reservoir, and a port for providing a fluid pathway between the syringe and the fluid reservoir. The apparatus has an alarm to indicate the fluid level within the reservoir. The apparatus has a heating system for heating the fluid within the reservoir to a predetermined temperature.
