Have you seen the data on ultrasonic scaling with Cavitron?

It may change the way you think about scaling - and help you further enhance your patient care. The effectiveness of Ultrasonic Scaling vs Hand Scaling was compared in an in-vitro study at the University of Glasgow, the results speak for themselves.

The Cavitron Ultrasonic Scaling System removes 50% more active biofilm as compared to hand scaling.¹

Ultrasonic Scaling

Pale purple all over = very little biofilm remaining

Hand Scaling

Pale purple areas = removed by hand scaler

Dark purple = remaining biofilm not removed

Control: Untreated

Dark purple all over = high biofilm remaining

Scaling tips for more healthy smiles

Get more options to meet every patient presentation, from light biofilm to heavy calculus to implants.

Cavitron Family of Inserts
  • Cavitron Thinsert: Biofilm and light calculus
  • Cavitron Slimline: Light to moderate calculus
  • Cavitron Powerline: Moderate to heavy calculus
Start with Thinsert for healthy patients

Removing biofilm on healthy patients starts with a Cavitron Thinsert ultrasonic insert. Reach for it first in healthy patient presentations.

  • 47% thinner than Slimline Ultrasonic Inserts
  • Access difficult areas—misalignments, interproximal, tight tissue

Check inserts wear monthly

Replace inserts when worn to maximise performance and patient comfort. The active area of the tip can wear over time, leading to excessive pressure when scaling—which creates discomfort for both patient and clinician. It also results in a loss in tip length, reducing efficiency.
