- Designed for finishing and debriding complex periodontal anatomy
Uses
- Periodontal Finishing:
- Primarily used for the fine removal of residual debris after initial scaling
- Deep Pocket Access:
- Designed to reach into deep periodontal pockets, typically those exceeding 4–5mm
- Furcation Debridement:
- Specifically engineered to navigate and clean difficult-to-reach furcations and root concavities
- Root Smoothing:
- Utilized for smoothing necrotic cementum and rough root surfaces to encourage tissue reattachment
Features
- Diamond Coating:
- Features a thin, contra-angle tip coated with fine diamond grit for superior finishing power
- Right-Curved Design:
- The unique contra-angle bend is optimized for adaptation to specific posterior tooth surfaces
- S-Series Compatibility:
- Fully compatible with Hu-Friedy Symmetry IQ®, Satelec®, and NSK® piezoelectric generators
- Advanced Metallurgy:
- Crafted from a specialized stainless steel blend that optimizes vibration frequency for efficient debris removal
- Guardian™ Wrench:
- Included with each tip, this patented, torque-limiting wrench serves as a protective carrier during sterilization and ensures safe connection to the handpiece
Benefits
- Superior Adaptation:
- The contra-angle design allows the terminal 2–3mm of the tip to maintain consistent contact with complex root morphology
- Improved Clinical Outcomes:
- Fine finishing with a diamond-coated tip often results in smoother root surfaces compared to standard scaling alone
- Enhanced Safety:
- The Guardian Wrench prevents over-tightening of the tip and protects clinical staff from accidental sharps injuries during reprocessing
- Precision Control:
- Intended for use on low power settings, allowing the clinician to perform delicate debridement without damaging the tooth structure
