- This tip is designed for use with Acteon Newtron ultrasonic generators to remove very hard materials in the coronal third of the root canal system
Uses
- Removing hard materials:
- It is primarily used to eliminate very hard restorative materials or calcified dentin deposits from the coronal (upper) third of the root canal by "brushing" the internal walls
- Access cavity refinement:
- The tip assists in finishing and refining the access cavity walls to expose the pulp chamber floor clearly
- Enhancing visibility:
- By removing overhanging dentin, it improves the clinician's view of the canal orifices
- Retreatment procedures:
- It is a key tool in the initial stages of endodontic retreatment to prepare the canal for further instrumentation
Features
- Material:
- Made of steel with a durable diamond coating
- Coating:
- Features a 30μm (micron) diamond coating, providing enhanced abrasive and cutting power
- Dimensions:
- It has a length of 20mm and a 5% taper, designed to access the coronal third of the canal effectively
- Design:
- A straight, thin design allows for precise control and access to tight spaces
- Compatibility:
- Designed for use with Acteon Satelec Newtron and Suprasson ultrasonic handpieces
- Irrigation:
- Ensures that irrigation reaches the active end of the tip, maximizing efficiency through cavitation and cooling
Benefits
- Efficient Material Removal:
- The diamond coating significantly increases the cutting and lateral abrasion effect, making the removal of tough materials faster and more efficient
- Preservation of Tooth Structure:
- The controlled ultrasonic vibrations and precise design allow for targeted material removal, preserving healthy dentin and tooth anatomy
- Improved Access and Visibility:
- Effectively removing calcifications and overhangs from the coronal third improves visibility and access to the rest of the canal system, facilitating a more successful treatment
- Durability:
- Heat treatment and the high quality of the steel provide excellent durability and long-lasting use
- Safety:
- The ability to use irrigation with the tip helps prevent heat buildup in the tooth, enhancing patient comfort and safety during the procedure
