Abstract:
A self-heating electric plugger/syringe needle ( 10/70 ) with the conductive element ( 50 ) on the external surface of the needle ( 10/70 ) is described. The needle ( 10/70 ), which can be divided into shank ( 30 ) and tip ( 20 ) portions, is hollow and is made of an electrically resistive material. A conductive element ( 50 ) located on the external surface of the needle runs along the length of its shank ( 30 ) and the length of its tip ( 20 ). An insulating material ( 60 ) located between the conductive element ( 50 ) and the external surface of the needle runs along the length of the shank ( 30 ). The conductive element ( 50 ) contacts the tip ( 20 ) of the needle, causing the needle to self-heat when electric current is supplied. A method for filling a root canal using the self-heating electric plugger/syringe needle ( 10/70 ) is also described.

Claim (Index 6):
A self-heating electric plugger/syringe needle ( 10 / 70 ) comprising:\n a conductive element isolated from an electrically resistive shank portion of the needle ( 10 / 70 ) by an insulating material ( 60 ) wrapped about the shank portion, the conductive element extending past an end of the insulating material to contact the electrically resistive material at an electrically resistive tip ( 20 ) portion of the needle.
