- This comprehensive kit contains multiple specialized ultrasonic tips designed for performing atraumatic dental extractions using Acteon's Piezotome ultrasonic surgery units
- The kit is specifically engineered for minimally invasive surgical procedures that focus on preserving bone and surrounding soft tissues
Uses
- Atraumatic extractions:
- Gently separating the tooth from the periodontal ligament to allow extraction with minimal force
- Extraction of impacted teeth:
- Facilitating the removal of teeth, such as wisdom teeth, that have not erupted fully
- Removal of fractured roots:
- Safely extracting broken roots without damaging the alveolar bone
- Root sectioning/hemisections:
- The included "Ninja" tip (saw-tooth design) is particularly effective for cutting and splitting multi-rooted teeth
- Syndesmotomy and periradicular osteotomy:
- Widening the ligament space and performing minor bone cuts around the root
Features
- Comprehensive Kit:
- The F87546 kit typically includes six tips: LC1 II, LC2 II (x2), LC2L II, LC2R II, and Ninja II, along with an autoclavable metal support and universal wrench
- Piezotome Technology:
- Designed for use with Acteon Piezotome units (like the Piezotome CUBE), which offer controlled, linear ultrasonic vibrations to selectively cut mineralized tissue while sparing soft tissue
- Tip Anatomy:
- Each tip is uniquely shaped and oriented (straight, angled left, angled right) to access different anatomical areas (anterior/posterior) within the mouth
- Soft Tissue Preservation:
- The specific frequency modulation of the Piezotome system minimizes the risk of damage to nerves and soft tissues
- Irrigation Control:
- Ensures continuous irrigation reaches the active end of the tip, preventing bone overheating and maximizing efficiency
- Durable Materials:
- High-quality construction for resistance to corrosion and repeated sterilization
Benefits
- Bone Preservation:
- The primary benefit is the preservation of the alveolar bone ridge, which is crucial for potential future implant placements or restorations
- Reduced Trauma:
- The "powered periotome" approach reduces the need for excessive force and luxation compared to conventional extraction methods, leading to less post-operative pain, swelling, and complications
- Faster Healing:
- The minimally invasive nature of the procedure enhances the healing process for the patient
- Improved Predictability:
- Controlled vibrations and precise tips provide predictable clinical outcomes, even in challenging cases
- Increased Versatility:
- The range of tips in the kit allows clinicians to handle a broad spectrum of surgical scenarios and patient anatomies
