- Used for dental power scaling procedures to remove light to moderate deposits, calculus, and biofilm, particularly in deep periodontal pockets and complex posterior anatomy
Uses
- Periodontal debridement:
- Removing calculus, stain, and biofilm from deep periodontal pockets (greater than 5mm)
- Targeted access:
- Adapting well to complex anatomical features of posterior teeth, such as furcations, tight interproximal areas, and root concavities, specifically on the right side of the mouth (due to the "Right" curvature)
- Periodontal maintenance:
- Ideal for use during routine maintenance appointments for patients with periodontal disease
- Localized defects:
- Effective for treating specific, localized periodontal issues
Features
- "Right" Curvature:
- The shank has a specific contra-angle curvature designed to effectively reach and adapt to the posterior tooth surfaces of the upper right quadrant and lower left quadrant
- After Five Design:
- Features an extended, thin shank that tapers to a probe-sized tip, allowing deep access into pockets with minimal tissue distention
- Swivel Technology:
- The insert has a 360° rotation feature, allowing the tip to be rolled with a slight fingertip motion, which eliminates the need for frequent stop-start-readjust movements common with traditional inserts
- Direct Flow Water Delivery:
- Water is focused near the working end, reducing excess spray, improving visibility during procedures, and increasing patient comfort
- 30kHz Frequency:
- Compatible with 30k ultrasonic units such as the Hu-Friedy SWERV3, Cavitron Plus & Select SPS, Integra, and BioSonic
- Color Coding:
- Features a red ergonomic silicone handle for at-a-glance identification and improved grasp
- Durable Material:
- Made with a special blend stainless steel alloy designed for improved reliability and a longer lifespan
Benefits
- Enhanced Maneuverability:
- The swivel feature provides unparalleled ease of navigation around dental surfaces and allows access to difficult areas like line angles, concavities, and furcations
- Increased Efficiency:
- Smooth tip adaptation minimizes the need to remove the tip from the pocket to readjust the fulcrum, resulting in a more efficient scaling process
- Reduced Hand Fatigue:
- The large diameter silicone grip reduces finger pinching and cord torque, offering greater comfort and control for the clinician
- Improved Patient Comfort:
- The combination of focused water flow and efficient scaling techniques generally increases patient comfort during procedures
- Better Visibility:
- Direct water delivery focuses the spray where it is needed most, leading to a clearer field of vision for the dental professional.
