  • 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.
