Section 10: Techniques for Use
10.1 Patient Positioning
• The backrest of the chair should be adjusted for optimal
access to both the upper and lower arches. This assures
patient comfort and clinician visibility.
• Have the patient turn head to the right or left.
• Position chin up or down depending on the quadrant and
surface being treated.
• Evacuate irrigant using either a saliva ejector or High
Vacuum Evacuator (HVE).
10.2 Performing Ultrasonic
Scaling Procedures
• The edges of DENTSPLY Cavitron

are intentionally rounded so there is little danger of tissue
laceration with proper ultrasonic scaling techniques. The
lips, cheek and tongue should be retracted to prevent
accidental prolonged contact with the activated tip
whenever the insert is placed in the mouth.
