- Designed for subgingival debridement and targeted calculus removal.
Uses
- Heavy Deposit Removal:
- Specifically used to remove heavy calculus deposits and necrotic cementum on anterior teeth and premolars
- Periodontal Debridement:
- Ideal for debriding root surfaces and accessing deep periodontal pockets where standard tips may not fit
- Biofilm Management:
- Effective for removing subgingival and supragingival biofilm and light calculus from interproximal spaces
- Furcation Access:
- The slim design allows for better access to complex root anatomy, including furcations and concavities
- Maintenance Therapy:
- Frequently utilized during regular periodontal maintenance appointments for thorough cleaning below the gumline
Features
- Curette-like Design:
- Features a thin-bladed, slender profile that mimics a periodontal curette for precise adaptation
- S-Series Compatibility:
- Designed for use with Hu-Friedy Symmetry IQ®, Satelec®, and NSK® piezoelectric generators
- Specialized Material:
- Constructed from a custom blend of stainless steel optimized to harmonize with ultrasonic energy for superior vibration
- Guardian™ Wrench:
- Each tip is supplied with a patented, torque-limiting color-coded wrench that doubles as a tip carrier for safe handling and sterilization
- Recommended Power:
- Typically used on medium to low power settings (often between 1 and 3 on standard scales) to ensure patient comfort and prevent root damage
Benefits
- Scaling Efficiency:
- The optimized vibration transfer ensures faster and more efficient removal of tenacious deposits compared to standard tips
- Minimal Tissue Trauma:
- Its thin, curette-like blade allows for precise scaling and root planing with significantly reduced risk of trauma to surrounding soft tissue
- Enhanced Reach:
- Improves the clinician's ability to debride difficult-to-reach areas, such as deep, narrow pockets and tight interproximal spaces
- Clinical Versatility:
- Provides an all-in-one solution for subgingival calculus removal, stain removal, and biofilm disruption in one tool
- Durable & Autoclavable:
- The high-quality stainless steel ensures unmatched durability through repeated autoclave cycles within its protective wrench
