- Designed for deep periodontal debridement in specific posterior quadrants and complex root structures
Uses
- Deep Subgingival Debridement:
- Specifically engineered to reach and clean periodontal pockets deeper than 5mm
- Posterior Adaptation:
- The curved design allows for precise adaptation to the root surfaces of molars and premolars
- Furcation Management:
- Ideal for navigating and cleaning difficult-to-reach furcations and root concavities
- Interproximal Scaling:
- Used to remove tenacious subgingival calculus and biofilm in tight spaces between posterior teeth
Features
- Left-Curved Shank:
- Features a specific left-hand bend to provide optimal access to specific tooth surfaces
- Probe-Sized Profile:
- The tip is ultra-thin and tapered, similar to a periodontal probe, to facilitate insertion into narrow, deep pockets
- S-Series Compatibility:
- Designed for use with Hu-Friedy Symmetry IQ®, Satelec®, and NSK® piezoelectric generators
- Advanced Metallurgy:
- Made from a specialized stainless steel blend that optimizes vibration transfer and provides high resistance to wear
- Guardian™ Wrench:
- Comes with a patented, torque-limiting wrench that secures the tip and protects it during sterilization
Benefits
- Improved Anatomical Access: The curved geometry allows the clinician to maintain the necessary 0° to 15° tip-to-tooth angle even in hard-to-reach posterior areas
- Enhanced Clinical Efficacy: Enables more thorough debridement of complex root anatomy, which is essential for successful periodontal therapy
- Safety and Longevity: The Guardian Wrench prevents over-tightening (protecting the handpiece) and shields the clinician from sharps injuries during the setup and cleaning process
- Greater Patient Comfort: The thin design allows for subgingival access with minimal tissue distension, reducing discomfort during the procedure
- Efficiency: High-frequency piezoelectric vibration removes tenacious deposits faster than manual hand scaling, reducing clinician fatigue
