- This tip is an integral part of Acteon's comprehensive range of ultrasonic inserts used for minimally invasive endodontic procedures
- A specialized tool primarily used in non-surgical endodontic retreatments to navigate complex root canal anatomy
Uses
- Locating calcified canals:
- The diamond-coated ball end is ideal for gently searching for and identifying calcified or hidden root canal openings within the pulp chamber floor
- Searching for canals:
- It is used to help find the entrance of canals, especially in cases where anatomy is challenging
- Removing dentin overhangs:
- The tip helps eliminate excess dentin that may obscure the pulp chamber floor or canal entrances
- Finishing access cavities:
- The tip assists in refining the access cavity walls during initial preparation
Features
- Design:
- The tip features a distinctive ball-shaped, non-active end to prevent the risk of perforating the pulp chamber floor, combined with a diamond-coated working surface
- Material:
- Made from stainless steel with a diamond coating for effective cutting and durability
- Dimensions:
- It has a length of 20mm and a 5% taper, providing the necessary reach and control for intricate work
- Compatibility:
- Designed for use with Acteon Satelec Newtron ultrasonic generators, which feature controlled linear vibrations and an automatic frequency adjustment system
- Irrigation:
- Ensures that irrigation reaches the end of the tip, maximizing efficiency through cavitation and cooling
Benefits
- Minimally Invasive:
- The design allows for precise, conservative work, preserving healthy tooth structure and anatomy, which is a key principle of Acteon's product philosophy
- Enhanced Safety:
- The non-active, ball-shaped end significantly reduces the risk of iatrogenic damage, such as perforating the delicate pulp chamber floor
