Which instrument in the basic set-up is used to evacuate large amounts of saliva and debris?

HVE

High-volume evacuation is the instrument designed to remove large amounts of saliva, fluids, and debris quickly from the mouth. Its larger tubing and strong suction let it pull away a lot of material at once, keeping the working area clear and reducing splatter and aerosols during procedures. The other tools have different roles: the air/water tip is used for rinsing and drying, a mirror helps with indirect vision and lighting, and cotton pliers are used to place or retrieve cotton rolls or pellets, not for suction.
