4.5 Important Information on the Insert Tips
WARNING:
• Diamond coated insert tips are
SINGLE USE. the diamond coated
insert tips are intended to be used on
an individual patient during a single
surgical procedure and then discarded.
the diamond coated insert tips cannot
therefore be reprocessed since they
cannot be cleaned properly. Soil
residues might remain adhered to the
diamond coating even after cleaning and
sterilization and enter into the oral cavity
of another patient.
• When the titanium nitride coating is
visibly worn out, the insert tip must be
replaced. Use of an overly worn out
insert tip reduces its efficiency.
• Do not activate the handpiece while the
insert tip is in contact with the treated
part, so that the electronic circuit can
recognize the best point of resonance
of the insert tip and allow its optimal
performance.
• always inspect the insert tip before and
during the operation for any damage.
if a damage or drop in performance is
noted replace it with a new one. insert
tip showing signs of deformation or
cracking must be replaced immediately.
• Use original mectron insert tips only. Use
of non-original insert tips, in addition
to voiding the warranty, damages the
threading of the compact piezo P2K
handpiece, with the risk of no longer
being able to screw the original insert
tips correctly during subsequent use.
moreover, the device settings are tested
and guaranteed to operate correctly
only when original mectron insert tips
are used.
• Do not change the shape of the insert
tip in any way by either bending or filing

it. This could cause it to break.
• Do not use an insert tip that has suffered
any type of deformation.
• Do not attempt to sharpen the insert tip
used.
• Always check that the threaded parts of
the insert tip and of the handpiece are
perfectly clean – see
17 .
• Let the ultrasonic vibrations work, do not
exert excessive pressure on the inserts
during use. apply a light force on the
insert to obtain the best efficiency.
• the mectron inserts vibrate with a
longitudinal oscillation, with forward and
backward movement. During treatment,
always keep the instrument tangential to
the tooth surface. move the handpiece
back and forth while applying light
lateral pressure.
• Do not aim the instrument directly on
the surface of the enamel or implant.
Position the tip/operative part only
tangentially to the surface of the tooth
or implant.
• When the insert is used in the
interproximal spaces, do not block the
instrument or leverage the operative
part. the inserts must be left free to
vibrate.
• in the treatment of endodontic root
canal therapy, never operate the files
when they are outside the root canal
to avoid breaking them. To prevent
breakage, create a smooth path with
a manual endo file and plan an access
as straight as possible to limit creases
in the insert. Use a light movement.
Check the file often for signs of wear.
In the case of a broken file inside the
canal, do not allow contact between the
instrument and the broken file to avoid
