• If excessive wear is noted, or the insert has been bent, reshaped or
otherwise damaged, discard the insert immediately.
• Ultrasonic insert tips that have been bent, damaged, or reshaped are
susceptible to in-use breakage and should be discarded and replaced
immediately.
• Retract the lips, cheeks, and tongue to prevent contact with the insert tip
whenever it is placed in the patient’s mouth.
• Water should be used for all scaling procedures. Water flow is adjustable
from less than 10 to greater than 60 ml per minute.
• Only adjust the systems’s power adjustment knob with the insert outside
the patients mouth.
Section 4: Precautions
4.1 System Precautions
• Equipment flushing and dental water supply system
maintenance are strongly recommended. See Section 10:
System Care.
• Close manual shut-off valve on the dental office water supply
every night before leaving the office.
• The use of an in-line water filter is recommended.
• Never operate system without fluid flowing through handpiece.
• Always ensure that the electrical connections on the handpiece
cable and the Steri-Mate® Handpiece are clean and dry before
assembling them for use.
4.2 Procedural Precautions
• The Cavitron SPS G90 unit works with Cavitron inserts as a system,
and was designed and tested to deliver maximum performance for all
currently available Cavitron and Cavitron Bellissima
®
brand ultrasonic
inserts. Companies that manufacture, repair or modify inserts carry the
sole responsibility for proving the efficacy and performance of their
products when used as a part of this system. Users are cautioned to
understand the operating limits of their inserts before using in a clinical
setting.
• Like bristles of a toothbrush, ultrasonic insert tips “wear” with
use. Inserts with just 2 mm of wear lose about 50% of their scaling
efficiency. In general, it is recommended that ultrasonic inserts be
discarded and replaced after one year of use to maintain optimal
efficiency and avoid breakage. A DENTSPLY Professional Insert
