SECTiON 9: System Setup,
Operation and Techniques
for use

9 1 handpiece Setup

• Follow Precautions listed in the general and ultrasonic
sections of 4.2 Procedural precautions. This handpiece
is sterilizable. Refer to Infection Control Information
Booklet for sterilization instructions prior to using
handpiece.
• Connect the Handpiece to the Cable Assembly by
aligning the electrical connections. If Cable Assembly
does not seat into the handpiece, gently rotate the
handpiece until contacts align, then fully insert handpiece.
• Hold empty handpiece in a semi-upright position over a
sink or drain. Activate the Tap-On
water exits to release any air bubbles that might be
trapped inside the handpiece. Avoid letting water into the
Powder Delivery Port as clogging may result. NOTE: Tap-
On Technology only operates when an insert or an air
TM
polishing insert is in the handpiece.
• Lubricate the O-ring on the insert with water before
placing it into the handpiece. Fully seat insert with a
gentle push-twist motion. DO NOT FORCE. If using the air
polishing insert, align the powder delivery tube with
the powder delivery port and gently push into the
handpiece until fully seated. DO NOT FORCE.
• Turn the Lavage Control to select flow rate during
system operation. Flow rate is placed on a scale from 1
to 6. Turn control clockwise toward 6 to increase flow
at insert tip. Turn control counter-clockwise toward 1
to decrease flow. The flow rate through the handpiece
also determines the temperature of the lavage. Lower

water flow rates produce warmer lavage. Higher flow
rates produce cooler lavage. If the handpiece becomes
warm, increase the flow rate. With experience the Dental
Healthcare Professional will be able to determine the
best flow rate setting for optimum operating efficiency
and patient comfort.

9 2 Turbo mode

Pressing the "Turbo" button on the scaling unit increases
the unit's ultrasonic power up to 25%. When you need more
power for an extended period of time, simply press the Turbo
button on the display panel (arrows will illuminate to show you
are in "Turbo" mode).
DENTSPLY recommends that the clinician familiarize
themselves with the available power levels throughout the
power knob rotation in both normal and turbo modes. To do
this, simply hold your favorite insert over the sink and adjust
the power knob while observing the inserts spray pattern and
toggling between both normal and turbo modes.

9 3 Boost mode

Boost provides a temporary increase in ultrasonic scaling
power for quick removal of tenacious calculus without
touching the unit. Boost is activated by fully depressing the
Tap-On Foot Pedal to second position (all the way to the
TM
floor). When Boost is activated, the Boost icon will illuminate
on the display panel. Boost remains on as long as the
clinician has the foot pedal pressed all the way down.
In order to deactivate Boost, release the Tap-On
Pedal to first position.

9 4 Patient Positioning

For optimal access to both the upper and lower arches, the
backrest of the chair should be adjusted as for other dental
procedures. This assures patient comfort and clinician
visibility. Have the patient turn his/her head to the right or
left. Also position chin up or down depending upon the
quadrant and surface being treated. Evacuate irrigant using
either a saliva ejector or High Volume Evacuator (HVE).

Scaling Procedures

Note: Refer to the Infection Control Information
booklet supplied with your system and Section 10 of
this manual for general procedures to be followed at
the beginning of each day and between patients.
• Follow precautions listed in the General and Ultrasonics
sections of 4.2 Procedural Precautions.
• The edges of Cavitron Ultrasonic Inserts are intentionally
rounded so there is minimal danger of tissue laceration
with proper ultrasonic scaling technique. Whenever the
