- An S-series, standard-diameter tip designed for versatile use across most dental scaling procedures
- It serves as an all-purpose instrument for efficient removal of moderate to heavy calculus deposits both supragingival and slightly below subgingival the gumline
Uses
- Universal application:
- It is designed for use on all tooth surfaces (anterior and posterior) and all aspects (buccal, lingual, mesial, distal), making it a versatile foundational tip.
- Moderate to heavy calculus removal:
- The robust, standard diameter tip is effective for tackling tenacious deposits.
- Supragingival scaling:
- It is highly efficient for removing deposits located above the gumline.
- Shallow pocket debridement:
- The tip can be used for debridement in shallow to moderate periodontal pockets where tissue is not overly tight.
- General debridement:
- Ideal for general initial debridement of teeth before fine-tuning with specific, slimmer tips.
Features
- Standard diameter:
- The tip has a standard, non-thin diameter, providing strength and efficiency for heavy deposit removal.
- Stainless steel construction:
- Made from a specialized stainless steel blend that is engineered to optimize vibration and maximize scaling efficiency while ensuring durability.
- S-series compatibility:
- It is an S-series tip, compatible with Hu-Friedy Symmetry IQ ultrasonic generators (3000 and 4000 models), and cross-compatible with generators from Satelec/Acteon and NSK.
- Guardian Wrench inclusion:
- Each tip typically includes a color-coded Guardian Wrench (tip carrier/torque wrench) that ensures correct torque application and safe handling during sterilization and storage.
- Autoclavable:
- The tip and its associated wrench are fully autoclavable, adhering to strict infection control standards.
- Ergonomic handling:
- The Guardian Wrench provides a secure, ergonomic grip when placing the tip onto the handpiece.
