Q & A
What is the role of ultrasonic instrumentation in perodontal debridment procedures?
-Ultrasonic instrumentation plays a key role in perodontal debridment procedures, growing in use among clinicians due to its proper use and application being essential for optimal clinical outcomes.
What does the Catron Plus ultrasonic scaler produce per second at the ultrasonic inserts working tip?
-The Catron Plus ultrasonic scaler produces 30,000 strokes per second at the ultrasonic inserts working tip.
What is the purpose of the sustained performance system (SPS) technology in the Catron Plus ultrasonic scaler?
-The SPS technology offers a constant balance between scaling efficiency and patient comfort by maintaining power when the insert tip encounters calculus deposits, allowing effective scaling even at decreased or lower power settings.
What is the benefit of the tap-on wireless foot pedal with tap-on technology?
-The tap-on wireless foot pedal with tap-on technology eliminates the need to hold the pedal down, activating ultrasonic power or rinse mode for approximately 4 minutes with a single tap, and boosting is still available while scaling in tap-on mode.
How does the turbo mode in the Catron Plus system function?
-The turbo mode in the Catron Plus system provides up to 25% extra power when activated, increasing the stroke of the tip for more effective removal of tenacious deposits.
What is the purpose of the Purge function in the Catron Plus ultrasonic scaler?
-The Purge function is used to clear water through the system for 2 minutes, which can be activated to ensure the system is functioning properly and to clear any debris.
How should the clinician prepare the hand piece for use with the Catron Plus ultrasonic scaler?
-The clinician should hold the empty hand piece in a semi-upright position over a sink or drain, depress the foot pedal until water exits to release any air bubbles, lubricate the O-ring on the insert with water, and fully seat the insert with a gentle push-twist motion.
What is the significance of using the correct grasp when handling the ultrasonic scaler?
-Using the correct grasp increases tactile sense, allows the insert to function properly, decreases unnecessary lateral pressure, reduces clinician fatigue, increases patient comfort, reduces the effects of repetitive stress injury, and increases rotation control.
What are the four standard inserts commonly used during initial gross debridment procedures?
-The four standard inserts commonly used are the Cavitron FSI 10, Cavitron FSI 100, Cavitron FSI 1000, and the Cavitron FSI 3 beaver tail, designed for efficiently removing moderate to heavy deposits.
How does the clinician ensure thorough removal of biofilm and calculus using the Cavitron FSI Slimline 10?
-The clinician ensures thorough removal by producing a stroke pattern that is overlapping and methodical, maintaining 2 to 3 mm of adaptation and a 0 to 15° angulation to the long axis of the tooth.
What is the purpose of the Cavitron Soft Tip Ultrasonic Implant Scaler and how should it be used?
-The Cavitron Soft Tip Ultrasonic Implant Scaler is designed to gently remove light to moderate plaque and calculus without damaging implant titanium abutment surfaces, and it should only be used at a low power level with a corresponding soft tip disposable probe tip.
Why is it important to regularly inspect and replace ultrasonic inserts when necessary?
-Regular inspection and replacement of ultrasonic inserts is important to ensure optimal performance, as using excessively worn inserts can lead to substandard efficiency and may cause the clinician to use excessive pressure, resulting in discomfort for both the clinician and the patient.
