Ultrasonic scaling is an industry-standard for patient care—and Dentsply Sirona can help you take the steps you need to perform it safely.

The recent global health crisis may have changed how we live and work, but one thing will never change: delivering the highest standard of care, using professional judgment, is the dental professional’s first priority. And when it comes to maintaining oral health, utilizing ultrasonic scaling is a proven standard of care. 

Let us help you mitigate and manage aerosols and maintain the highest standard of care:

For Patients

The key to addressing oral diseases is a comprehensive effort that includes education, prevention, and routine dental care.

Research highlights some significant and alarming trends with oral diseases – what has been termed as a “silent epidemic.”5

Gingivitis

GINGIVITIS
50 TO 90% OF ADULTS WORLDWIDE

The mildest form of periodontal disease, and when left untreated, can lead to severe periodontitis.6

Severe Periodontitis
15%

SEVERE PERIODONTITIS
10 TO 15% OF ADULTS
WORLDWIDE

May result in tooth loss and is linked to systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and pre-term deliveries or low birthweight babies.7

  • Ergonomic features are incorporated into every system, ensuring an intuitive performance and allowing hygienists to focus on patient care.
  • Dental professionals experience less pressure and greater comfort during ultrasonic scaling procedures compared to hand scaling. 1,8

Mitigate the risk of infection in the practice setting and take steps to properly manage aerosols

Specially designed features built into Cavitron ultrasonic scaling units help keep your system performing at an optimal level and minimize the risk of cross-contamination. And when partnered with our Purevac HVE System with Mirror Tip, you have a powerful combination for patient care and practice safety.

Maintenance assurance of control against cross-contamination and infection control are priorities with every procedure, and Cavitron systems keep this top of mind. Specially designed tools incorporated into each Cavitron unit help keep your system performing at the optimal level and minimize the risk of cross-contamination.

Diagnostic display

  • Easy-to-read control panel includes BlueZone indicator, Rinse Mode, Boost Mode indicator, Purge Button, and Service and Low Battery indicators 

Single-push rinse and purge

  • Enhances efficiency
  • 2-minute automatic water flush

Autoclavable handpiece

  • Provides the highest assurance of control against cross-contamination

Hygienist comfort has long been a focus for the development of Cavitron units. Consistent research allows for innovative solutions to provide maximum comfort during each procedure. Ergonomic features are incorporated into every system, ensuring an intuitive performance and allowing hygienists to focus on patient care. Dental professionals experience less pressure and greater comfort during ultrasonic scaling procedures compared to hand scaling.

Tap-On Technology

  • Activates scaling with a single tap of the pedal
  • Eliminates the need to keep a foot on the pedal during procedures
  • Hands-free boost mode allows you to increase power for quick removal of tenacious calculus

Wireless foot control

  • Wireless 360° foot pedal is ergonomically designed to provide ease of use and mobility
  • Can be controlled anywhere within 3 meters of base

Prophy mode autocycles

  • Automatically alternate between air polish and rinse without a need to touch the pedal

As a dental health care professional, you’re concerned about your patients’ health and comfort. Providing them the best care is foremost on your mind. As a clinician, you’re also concerned with bio-accumulative stress disorders, and how they can impact your career. Hand scaling is typical of the type of repetitive motion that experts agree may lead to painful carpal tunnel syndrome. Our ultrasonic scalers replace the stress of hand scaling with low-amplitude high-frequency energy that’s capable of powering off even the most tenacious calculus with a “feather touch.”

Did You Know? Nearly 1 of every 3 dental professionals cite musculoskeletal disorders as the reason for early retirement.* Cavitron systems offer innovative solutions for improved ergonomics.

Cavitron Magnetostrictive Technology guarantees quality and performance. In addition to the advantages of ultrasonic scaling units, Cavitron magnetostrictive systems add value with benefits for both hygienists and patients. Advanced technology enhances the ergonomics for a comfortable experience. Cavitron units provide unique offerings designed to improve performance.

Our magnetostrictive technology provides easy adaptation technique and enhanced clinical access. We originally recognized, back in 1987, 30,000 cycles per second (kHz) as an efficient operating frequency for both clinical power and patient comfort. The market has endorsed this for over eighteen years as 30 kHz units continue to play a dominant role in the United States, the country recognized as a leader in preventive dentistry.

“Elliptical oscillation [of magnetostrictive scaling] allows the tip to scale to any angle, designed to minimize wrist adjustment when moving from tooth to tooth.”*

 —Lea SC, et al. J Clin Periodontol.
