Ultrasonic Scaling (Left)
Pale purple all over = very little biofilm remaining
Hand Scaling (Middle)
Pale purple areas = removed by hand scaler
Dark purple = remaining biofilm not removed
Control: Untreated (Right)
Dark purple all over = high biofilm remaining
Once attached, biofilm resists being disturbed. Even a healthy mouth is threatened by biofilm. Unaddressed, it can lead to gingivitis, periodontitis, and systemic inflammation and disease.
Consider the ways your Cavitron system can support you in providing a high level of patient care.
Get more options to meet every patient presentation, from light biofilm to heavy calculus to implants.
Removing biofilm on healthy patients starts with a Cavitron Thinsert ultrasonic insert.
Replace inserts when worn to maximize performance and patient comfort.
Enhance patient care while removing more biofilm¹ with our latest innovation in ultrasonic scaling.
Reach for it first in healthy patient presentations.
• 47% thinner than Slimline Ultrasonic Inserts
• Access difficult areas—misalignments, interproximal, tight tissue
• Experience tactile sensitivity similar to that of an ODU 11/12 explorer for the detection of calculus²
• No need to transition between an explorer and your Cavitron system
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.
Better Patient Comfort:
• Produces less heat and requires less water than any Cavitron system
• Quieter operation than other scaling systems
Increased Infection Prevention:
• Touchscreen interface—easy to use and wipe down
• Single-push, 2-minute purge control
Enhanced Hygienist Control:
• Exclusive Steri-Mate 360° rotating handpiece for effortless rotation
• Easy adjustment of lavage and more precise water control
• Featherweight cable is 28% lighter than older Cavitron units
Schedule a time today, and we can help ensure that you’re getting more out of your ultrasonic scaling: • Evaluate patient presentations for our family of insert options • Inspect your current inserts for wear • Demo the new Cavitron 300 Series Ultrasonic Scaling System
