Cavitron Plus Set-Up Guide/Tutorial With Insert Overview | Dentsply Sirona

The video script introduces the importance of ultrasonic instrumentation in periodontal debridement procedures. It emphasizes the growing preference among clinicians and the necessity for proper use to achieve the best clinical outcomes. The video is provided by D Supply Cerona as a guide for clinicians to enhance their ultrasonic instrumentation skills. It covers the features and benefits of the Catron Plus ultrasonic scaler, including its precision engineering, ultrasonic scaling capabilities, and SPS technology for balancing efficiency and patient comfort. The script also provides a detailed guide on setting up and using the scaler, including unpacking, checking components, connecting to power and water supply, and operating the foot pedal and control buttons. It highlights the system's advanced features like the tap-on wireless foot pedal, turbo mode, and sterilizable handpiece.

This paragraph explains how to select the ultrasonic power level and use the Blue zone for patient comfort during scaling. It details the different modes of operation, including rinse mode and boost mode, which temporarily increases power for tough deposits. The paragraph also describes the indicators for power, system functionality, boost mode, and the tap-on foot pedal's battery life. Instructions are given for activating and using the purge control, as well as how to operate the tap-on technology for ultrasonic power and water flow. The sterilization process for the handpiece and the importance of a proper grasp and cable management are also discussed.

The script outlines the steps for preparing the ultrasonic unit at the start of the day, including purging the system, selecting the ultrasonic power level, and setting the lavage control. It emphasizes the importance of monitoring the wear of ultrasonic inserts for optimal performance and patient comfort. The use of an insert wear indicator mobile app is introduced, which helps sales representatives measure insert wear and advise customers. The process of preparing the handpiece for use, including releasing air bubbles, lubricating the O-ring, and selecting the water flow rate, is described in detail.

This section discusses the use of four standard ultrasonic inserts (Cavitron FSI 10, FSI 100, FSI 1000, and FSI 3 Beaver Tail) during initial gross debridement procedures. It explains the design and application of each insert for removing moderate to heavy deposits and the importance of using them at appropriate power levels. The paragraph also covers the technique for using the inserts, including the approach, angulation, and stroke patterns for effective calculus removal and biofilm disruption.

The paragraph introduces the Slimline family of inserts, designed for fine periodontal debridement in patients with light to moderate calculus. It describes the specific applications of the Slimline 10, Slimline 1000, and the right and left curve inserts for accessing tight areas and following tooth anatomy. The script provides instructions on how to use these inserts effectively, including the importance of maintaining proper adaptation and angulation to avoid root surface loss.

This section highlights specialized inserts like the Cavitron FSI Thinner and the Cavitron Soft Tip Ultrasonic Implant Scaler. The FSI Thinner is designed for accessing difficult areas and removing light to moderate calculus, while the Soft Tip Ultrasonic Implant Scaler is used for gentle debridement on implant titanium surfaces. The paragraph explains how to prepare and use these inserts, including the attachment of a disposable soft tip and the importance of a gentle approach to prevent damage to implant surfaces.

The final paragraph focuses on the sterilization process of the ultrasonic insert and the soft tip wrench. It provides instructions for removing the used disposable soft tip and preparing the insert for sterilization. The importance of always sterilizing the insert and wrench together is emphasized to maintain hygiene standards and ensure patient safety.
