- A specialized Pedo Sickle scaling tip specifically designed for the Vector Super Sonic Air Scaler and as a direct replacement for KaVo-style air scalers
Uses
- Pediatric Scaling:
- Its smaller "Pedo" profile is ideal for the smaller oral cavities and primary dentition of children
- Anterior Supragingival Scaling:
- Used for removing calculus and plaque from the crown surfaces of front teeth (incisors and canines) in both children and adults
- KaVo Alternative:
- Serves as a direct, high-quality replacement for the KaVo #6 Pedo Sickle Tip fitting original KaVo SONICflex handpieces as well as Vector’s Super Sonic units
Features
- Petite Sickle Design:
- Features a smaller, more delicate sickle shape compared to standard universal tips, allowing for more precise work in confined spaces
- High-Frequency Optimization:
- Engineered to withstand the 17,000 Hz vibration of the Vector Super Sonic system, providing significantly more power than standard 6,000 Hz air scalers
- Premium Material:
- Manufactured from durable stainless steel to ensure a long lifespan and resistance to repeated autoclave sterilization
Benefits
- Enhanced Precision:
- The smaller tip size allows clinicians to work more comfortably around smaller teeth and tight interproximal areas without causing unnecessary tissue irritation
- Patient Safety:
- As an air-driven component, it is completely safe for patients with pacemakers, as it produces no electromagnetic interference
- Clinician Comfort:
- The high frequency reduces noise and vibration feedback, leading to less hand fatigue during long hygiene appointments
- Superior Visibility:
- Air scalers generate less heat than ultrasonic units, allowing for a lighter water spray and a much clearer view of the subgingival treatment area
- Gentle Treatment:
- The three-dimensional orbital movement of the tip provides effective scaling while being gentler on the root surface than some ultrasonic inserts
