Acteon Satelec Scaler Tip No. 1
F00246 No 1: Universal Tip
Recommended for simple cases: gross supra-gingival scaling.
Perfect Ultrasonic Vibrations and Steel Tip Quality
Acteon® equipment technologies and tips respond to practitioners' clinical expertise.
The ultrasonic micro-oscillations transmitted from the handpiece to the tip generate perfectly linear movement. Therefore the tip undergoes to-and-fro movements in the axis of the handpiece.
The active area of each tip is located on the distal 2-3mm. This working section may be applied on the surface to be treated, moving progressively from the crown to the root.
Linear Movement
The linear movement of the tip can be used in various ways which are also complimentary:
- Sweeping: indicated for scaling and disrupting the biofilm.
- The tip must be applied tangentially on the part to be treated and used over its entire active section.
- Hammering: used to fragment large tartar deposits and remove cements.
- The tip must be positioned facing the element to be detached and used without pressure on its point.
Newtron® Technology
The unmatched performance of Newtron® technology paves the way for more precise, faster and painless procedures.
Oscillations
The frequency (number of oscillations per second) of each tip adjusts in real-time:
- Better tactile sense
- No power loss
- Soft tissue preservation
Amplitude
The amplitude (tip movement) is perfectly controlled and constant:
- Very regular sweeping effect
- Gentle vibrations giving a pain-free treatment
Power
The power required is instantly adjusted depending on the resistance encountered by the tip:
- No pressure necessary
- Decrease fatigue for the practitioner
- Greater efficiency
Cavitation
The ultrasonic vibrations also cause a biological effect called cavitation, which has interesting benefits.
When a liquid is exposed to ultrasonic vibrations, the acoustic wave induces quite large pressure changes to create small bubbles of vapour called cavitation.
These bubbles are extremely unstable and burst violently, leading to the fragmentation and removal of the deposits.
In addition, cavitation creates micro-bubbles of oxygen which have a cleansing, disinfectant effect.
