- A specialized ultrasonic retrotip designed for micro-surgical endodontics, specifically for treating posterior teeth
Uses
- Posterior Apical Surgery:
- Specifically recommended for the retro-preparation of root canals in premolars and molars
- Left-Oriented Access:
- The "L" in ASLD indicates it is left-curved, providing the necessary angulation to reach specific canal surfaces on the left side of the dental arch that straight tips cannot access effectively
- Canal Cleaning:
- Used to clean and shape the apical portion of the root canal after an apicoectomy to prepare it for a retrograde filling
Features
- Diamond Coating:
- Features a 30µm diamond grit for efficient, selective cutting of dentin with high precision
- Left Angulation:
- Specifically angled to the left to facilitate ergonomic access in posterior regions
- Standard Dimensions:
- Includes a 3mm working length and a 10% taper, consistent with the industry-standard "3-6-9" concept for apical surgery
- Newtron® Compatibility:
- Designed for use with Acteon Satelec Newtron technology, which automatically adjusts vibration frequency based on the tip's load
Benefits
- Enhanced Precision:
- Offers much greater control and accuracy than a traditional burr, which is critical in the confined space of a root apex
- Tissue Preservation:
- The diamond coating allows for selective cutting, while the Newtron technology ensures controlled vibrations that preserve healthy dental tissue and bone
- Minimal Pressure Requirement:
- Engineered to be effective with very light pressure, reducing the risk of root cracks or fractures during preparation
- Consistent Performance:
- The high-quality steel and coating are resistant to common irrigation solutions like sodium hypochlorite, ensuring a long clinical life
