Section 10: Techniques for Use

10.1 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. his assures patient comfort and
clinician visibility.
• Have the patient turn their head to the right or left. Also
position their chin up or down depending upon the quad-
rant and surface being treated. Evacuate irrigant using either
a saliva ejector or High Volume Evacuator (HVE).
10.2 Performing Ultrasonic
Scaling Procedures
NOTE: Refer to the Infection Control Information card
supplied with your System and Section 11 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 ultrasonic sec-
tions of 3.2 Procedural Precautions
• he edges of Cavitron
rounded so there is little danger of tissue laceration with
proper ultrasonic scaling technique. Whenever the insert tip
is placed in the patient's mouth, the lips, cheek and tongue
should be retracted to prevent accidental prolonged contact
with the activated tip.
• Turn power level control to select ultrasonic power level
for operation. Clockwise increase the system power. Power
level will increase throughout the full range of the control.
Hold the handpiece over a sink or drain. Depress foot pedal
to irst postion to activate the system. Check water spray to
verify luid is reaching the working end of the insert tips.
Adjust the water lavage control under the water (lavage)
lows with a rapid drip or small spray. Highter water low
setting provide cooler irrigation.
• It may be necessary to adjust lavage with the system in
"Boost" mode (Foot Control fully depressed) so ade-
quate luid will be available to cool tip to tooth inter-
face.
• In general, it is suggested that a "feather-light-touch" be
used both supra- and subgingivally. he motion of the
activated tip and acoustic efects of the irrigating luid, in
most cases, is adequate to remove even the most tenacious
calculus.
• Periodically check the Cavitron
with the DENTSPLY
• he use of a saliva ejector or High Volume Evacuator (HVE)
is recommended during all procedures.
• Set the System's Power Adjustment knob to the lowest power
setting for the application and the selected insert.
10.3

Patient Comfort Considerations

Reasons for sensitivity
• Incorrect tip placement. Point should be directed away from root
surfaces.
• Not keeping tip in motion on tooth. Do not allow the insert to
remain in a static position on any one area of the tooth. Change
the insert's path of motion.
• Applying pressure. Use extremely light grasp and pressure,
especially on exposed cementum.
• If sensitivity persists, decrease power setting and/or move from
the sensitive tooth to another and then return.
