Cavitron 30K Focused Spray slimLINE Ultrasonic Insert

In ultrasonic scaling, one insert is not enough

One insert can’t do it all—that’s why the Cavitron family of inserts offers a broad selection of ultrasonic scaling inserts to fit the needs of your practice. Just like with hand scaling, some inserts are built for removing certain levels of deposit, while others are designed for working around specific types of tooth anatomy. Most patients require more than one type of insert during a single visit; following the guidelines for insert selection and use located in the insert brochure can help with comfort and efficiency for your patients, and ultimately, your practice.

“Clinicians who retain their inserts for years may find their instrument tips become reduced in length through wear, potentially leading to a detrimental change in the performance of the scaling system.”— Lea SC. J Clin Periodontol. 2006.

Monitoring the wear of your ultrasonic inserts is key to ensuring optimal performance.

Using an insert that is excessively worn will cause it to operate at substandard efficiency. It can also cause you to use excessive pressure while scaling, which results in discomfort for both you and the patient. Regularly checking the wear of your ultrasonic inserts and replacing them when necessary can help maximize efficiency and comfort for you and your patients.
