- Designed for advanced finishing and debridement of periodontal anatomy
Uses
- Periodontal Finishing:
- Primarily used to remove residual debris after initial heavy scaling has been completed
- Anterior Debridement:
- Specifically engineered for accessing deep periodontal pockets, particularly in the anterior areas of the mouth
- Furcation Access:
- Enhances visibility and reach when navigating complex root structures and furcations
- Root Smoothing:
- Effective for refining root surfaces and removing necrotic cementum
Features
- Straight Diamond Coating:
- Features a thin, straight tip profile with a fine diamond-coated finish for precise mechanical debridement
- S-Series Compatibility:
- Fully compatible with Hu-Friedy Symmetry IQ® (3000 and 4000), Satelec®, and NSK® piezoelectric generators
- Guardian™ Wrench:
- Included with the tip, this patented torque-limiting wrench serves as a protective carrier during sterilization and ensures a safe, calibrated connection to the handpiece
- Advanced Metallurgy:
- Constructed from a specialized stainless steel blend that optimizes vibration transfer for maximum clinical efficiency
- Recommended Power:
- Intended for use on low power settings (often indicated as "green mode" or perio mode) to ensure precision and patient comfort
Benefits
- Superior Debridement:
- The diamond grit provides a more thorough cleaning of residual deposits in deep pockets compared to traditional non-coated tips
- Staff and Patient Safety:
- The Guardian Wrench enables touch-free tip changes to prevent sharps injuries and limits torque to protect the handpiece from damage
- Clinical Precision:
- The thin, straight design allows for easier insertion and adaptation in tight anterior spaces with minimal tissue trauma
- Exceptional Durability:
- High-quality surgical steel and the protective wrench ensure the instrument maintains its performance through repeated autoclave cycles
