Section 11: Techniques For Use 

11.1 Patient Positioning 

 

For optimal access to both the upper and lower 
arches, the backrest of the chair should be 
adjusted  to a 45°  degree angle. This assures 
patient comfort and clinician visibility. 

 

Have the patient turn his/her head to the right or 
left. Also position the chin up or down depending 
upon the quadrant and surface being treated. 
Evacuate  using either a saliva ejector or high 
volume evacuator (HVE). 

 
11.2 Performing Ultrasonic Scaling 
Procedures 

 

Note: Refer to Section 7 and 12 for general 
procedures to be followed at the beginning of 
each day and between patients. 
 

 

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

 

Hold the empty sterilizable sleeve of  the 
handpiece in an upright position. Activate the Foot 
Control until fluid exits. 
 

 

Lubricate the rubber O-ring on the insert with 
water before placing it into the sterilizable sleeve 
of  the  handpiece. Fully seat the  insert with a 
gentle push-twist motion. DO NOT FORCE IT INTO 
PLACE. 
 

 

Activate the System. Hold the sterilizable sleeve 
of the handpiece over a sink or drain. Check spray 
temperature to verify fluid is reaching the working 
end of the insert tip. Adjust the water irrigatation 
control knob to ensure adequate flow for the 
selected  power setting. Greater flow settings 
provide cooler irrigation. 

 

 

It may be necessary to adjust water flow larger 
under "Turbo" mode (Foot pedal fully depressed) 
so adequate fluid will be available to cool tip and 
tooth interface. 
 

 

In general, it is suggested a "feather-light-touch" 
be used both supra and subgingivally. The motion 
of the activated tip and acoustic effects of the 
irrigating fluid, in most cases, is adequate to 
remove even the most tenacious calculus. 
 

 

Periodically check the ultrasonic insert for wear 
with the Insert Efficiency Indicator. 
 

 

The use of a saliva ejector or high volume 
evacuator (HVE) is recommended during all 
procedures. 
 

 

Set the system's power adjustment knob to the 
lowest power setting for the application and the 
selected insert. 
 

 

If a water leak is found in the handpiece, replace 
the  sleeve or o-ring on the  handpiece cable 
assembly to eliminate the leak. 

 
11.3 Patient Comfort Considerations 
 
Reasons for sensitivity 

 

Incorrect tip placement. Point should be directed 
away from root surfaces. 

 

Not keeping tip in motion on tooth. Do not allow 
the insert to remain in a static position on any one 
area of the tooth. Change the insert's path of 
motion. 

 

Applying pressure. Use extremely light grasp and 
pressure, especially on exposed cementum. 

 

If sensitivity persists, decrease the power setting 
and/or move from the sensitive tooth to another 
and then return.
