- A specialized ultrasonic instrument designed for the maintenance and treatment of dental implants
Uses
- Peri-implantitis Treatment:
- Used specifically for the debridement and cleaning of infected implant surfaces
- Narrow Thread Cleaning:
- Designed to reach and clean the innermost parts of narrow implant threads where standard scaling tips cannot access
- Subgingival Debridement:
- Suitable for both non-surgical maintenance and open-flap surgical procedures to remove biofilm and calculus from implant components
Features
- Pure Titanium Construction:
- Made from pure titanium to ensure it is gentle on the implant surface, preventing scratches or damage that could lead to further bacterial colonization
- Right-Oriented Design:
- The "R" in IP3R denotes it is right-curved, optimized for accessing specific anatomical surfaces (mesial/distal) on the right side of the mouth
- Pointed Extremity:
- Features a fine, sharp tip for precise access into tight spaces between implant threads
- Newtron® Compatibility:
- Fully compatible with Acteon/Satelec Newtron ultrasonic handpieces, utilizing controlled micro-oscillations
Benefits
- Surface Preservation:
- Because titanium is softer than the stainless steel used in standard tips, it effectively cleans without altering the implant’s biocompatible surface
- Enhanced Patient Comfort:
- The high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations are designed to be less painful than manual scraping, promoting better patient compliance
- Improved Treatment Outcomes:
- The specialized shape ensures thorough decontamination of the most difficult-to-reach areas of the implant, which is critical for the long-term success of the restoration
- Antiseptic Effect:
- The ultrasonic cavitation effect creates micro-bubbles that help fragment deposits and provide a mild disinfecting action during irrigation
