Ultrasonic Scaling Technique
Types of Inserts Canulas
– external– internal
FSI - “Focused Spray Inserts” FSI slimline TFI - “Thru Flow Inserts”
External Canulas
Periodontal Therapy
Hand scale vs. Ultrasonic scale
Prophylaxis vs. Periodontal health
Key Benefits of Ultrasonic Scaling
debridedeplaque lavage cavitation
Which insert is most effective?
FSI slimline - FSI 10 , TFI 10, P10 TFI 1000 - (Straight Triple-
Bend)
FSI Slimline (subgingival use)
Straight or Paired
TFI - 10
General deposit removal All sides active Most available in most
clinics
TFI 1000 Straight Triple Bend
Quick removal of moderate to heavy calculus
triple bend allows increased access to line angles and interproximal surfaces
Proper Scaling Technique
Patient Preparation–review medical history
•diseases spread by aerosols•respiratory conditions•older, unshielded pacemakers
Do not use in areas of
extreme decalcificationrestorationsextreme sensitivity
Provide pre-procedural mouthrinse, eyewear, patient napkin
Explain the procedure–Position Patient–Position saliva ejector
Clinician Preparation appropriate eyewear,
gloves and protective apparel
High bacterial filtration efficiency mask
position for maximum visibility
Six Criteria for Insert Selection
The Purpose of Treatment The Patients oral health status The location of the deposits The degree of the deposits Insert design Insert tip diameter
Setting Up your Unit
Fill handpiece with water Place insert in handpiece Set power control Set water control Adjust control until the water
flows with a rapid drip
The Advantages
Speed Efficiency Comfort
Grasp -
Eliminate drag of cord Pen or Modified pen
grasp “FEATHER-LIGHT”
Fulcrum -
Intra - Oral Extra - Oral
Adaptation
direct insert point AWAY from tooth
all surfaces are active
Pressure/Stroke
“cross-hatch” strokes no pressure keep in contact with
deposit
Activation
Continual Motion –like a violin bow
Evaluate your Surface
recheck surface with explorer– insert does not provide
adequate sensitivity
Insert Cleaning and Sterilization
