- A specialized ultrasonic tip used for periodontal therapy
Uses
- Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy:
- Used primarily for cleaning teeth during routine dental hygiene appointments
- Supra- and Subgingival Scaling:
- Effectively removes calculus (tartar) and plaque both above and below the gumline
- Calculus Removal:
- Ideally suited for treating patients with light to moderate deposits
- Periodontal Maintenance:
- A standard "go-to" tool for routine prophylaxis and general dental scaling in daily practice
Features
- Universal Design:
- Its configuration allows it to adapt to all tooth surfaces throughout the mouth
- Tip Profile:
- Features a thin tip design with smooth edges to facilitate safe removal of both soft biofilm and hard deposits
- S-Series Compatibility:
- Specifically designed for use with S-Series Piezoelectric ultrasonic units
- Material:
- Handcrafted from high-quality stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance
Benefits
- Clinical Versatility:
- The "universal" nature reduces the need to switch tips frequently, streamlining the cleaning process
- Patient Safety:
- Smooth edges are engineered to remove deposits while minimizing potential trauma to the tooth surface or surrounding gingival tissue
- Enhanced Accessibility:
- The thin tip design allows for easier access into periodontal pockets and tight interproximal spaces compared to standard, thicker tips
- Efficiency:
- Using piezoelectric technology for scaling is generally faster and more effective at removing hard buildup than hand scaling alone
