Cavitron Insert Portfolio | Dentsply Sirona

This paragraph introduces the importance of ultrasonic instruments in periodontal debridement procedures. It emphasizes the growing use among clinicians and the necessity for correct application to achieve optimal clinical outcomes. The video is a guide provided by D Supply Cerona, not a replacement for product manuals. It covers four standard inserts used for removing moderate to heavy deposits: Cavitron FSI 10, FSI 100, FSI 1000, and Beavertail. Each insert has a specific design for efficient removal and is used according to the power levels and treatment plans. The FSI 10 has a straight shank for all accessible tooth surfaces, FSI 100 has two bends for posterior teeth access, FSI 1000 features a triple bend for powerful energy dispersion, and the Beavertail is designed for calculus bridges and heavy stain removal.

The second paragraph discusses the Slimline family of inserts used in periodontal debridement for patients with light to moderate calculus. These inserts are slimmer in diameter for better access. The Cavitron FSI Slimline 10 is for light to moderate calculus removal at low to medium power levels. The clinician must maintain a specific adaptation and angulation while using a methodical, overlapping stroke pattern. The FSI Slimline 1000 combines a slim tip with a triple bend for better adaptation around line angles and root concavities. The right and left curve inserts are designed for fine debridement in deep pockets, requiring knowledge of tooth anatomy for proper use. The clinician must select the correct insert by recognizing the shank and curvature direction and adapt it to the tooth surface while maintaining proper angulation and adaptation.

This paragraph highlights the technique for thorough debridement, emphasizing the importance of proper adaptation to navigate inner proximal spaces successfully. It discusses the avoidance of root surface loss through correct use of force, angulation, adaptation, insert width, and power. Curved inserts are ideal for reaching under contact areas using a transverse approach. The Cavitron FSI thin insert is introduced for its ultra-thin diameter, allowing access to difficult areas and is used for light to moderate calculus and stain removal. The Cavitron soft tip ultrasonic implant scaler is also described for gentle plaque and calculus removal on implant titanium surfaces at low power levels. The use of a disposable soft tip is mandatory with this insert, and the process of attaching and securing it is outlined. Sterilization procedures for the insert and wrench are also recommended.

The final paragraph focuses on the careful selection and use of debridement instruments, especially for dental implants. It stresses the fragility of the sulcular environment and mucosal seal, necessitating a gentle approach. The insert is used with a specific angulation and adaptation to ensure thorough biofilm debridement without causing damage. After use, the insert must be sterilized, and a detailed process for preparing the Cavitron ultrasonic implant insert for sterilization is provided. The paragraph also covers the disposal of the used plastic soft tip and the importance of sterilizing the insert and wrench together.
