Extend your reach with Thin Ultrasonic Inserts!


Why use the same type of ultrasonic insert for all your power scaling procedures when there are so many great choices to help you more efficiently and effectively remove calculus?
 

Thin Is In!


Thin ultrasonic inserts are a great choice for many clinical conditions!

  • Thin inserts can be your ideal choice for patients with light to moderate calculus since they can be effectively used in both supra and subgingival areas
  • Patients with heavier deposits can be debrided using a robust insert such as a #10, #1000 or beavertail. After this initial debridement, a thin insert can extend the benefits of power scaling by allowing access to deeper pockets,
  • Furcations, root concavities, tight interproximal areas and other tooth anatomical variants—It is likely that you encounter these varied anatomical formations on a daily basis. Often these areas are subgingival, difficult to access and can be challenging for even the most skilled hygienist. The slender profile of thin inserts can allow reach and efficient calculus removal in these difficult to clean areas.
  • Misaligned or mal-positioned teeth—Chances are you have treated patients with crowded mandibular anterior teeth, molars tilted lingually, or teeth that are rotated. With reduced bulk, thin ultrasonic inserts can help effectively negotiate the wide-ranging surfaces positions of these teeth.
