Zusammenfassung:	A dental apparatus and method, for example an endodontic apparatus and method, is disclosed. The apparatus includes: a supply of fluid; a pump for delivering fluid from the supply under pressure and a handpiece in fluid communication with the pump. The handpiece includes a needle 30, extending from a rearward end proximal to the handpiece to a forward tip distal from the handpiece, a lumen of the needle extending to an opening at the tip to deliver fluid received from the pump to a tooth. The dimensions of the needle and the delivery pressure of the fluid are selected such that the flow of fluid through the needle causes a cloud of inertial cavitation to be formed forward of the needle tip.
