What is the name of the small straw-shaped oral evacuator used in dental procedures?

The small straw-shaped oral evacuator used in dental procedures is known as the Saliva Ejector. This device is specifically designed to remove excess saliva and other fluids from the patient's mouth during dental treatments, ensuring a clear working area for the dentist. Its shape and design allow it to gently suction fluids without being overly intrusive or uncomfortable for the patient, making it an essential tool for routine dental procedures.

In contrast, the High Volume Evacuator is a more robust tool used for larger volumes of fluid and debris during procedures that require more extensive suctioning, such as oral surgeries or during the placement of dental materials. The Operative Tip and Surgical Tip refer to specific attachments or ends that may be used with other types or sizes of suction devices, but they are not primarily characterized as a small straw-shaped instrument used for general fluid suction like the Saliva Ejector.
