Section 4: Infection Control
4.1 General Infection Control Recommendations
• As with all dental procedures, use standard personal
protection equipment (i.e., wear face mask, eyewear, or face
shield, gloves and protective gown).
• For maximal operator and patient safety, carefully follow
the Infection Control Information procedures detailed in
the Cavitron Infection Control Procedures Booklet
(Form No. 81158).

proper technique, much of the Cavitron
Scaler's aerosol dispersion can be effectively controlled and
minimized. Please carefully follow the procedural guidelines
in this manual regarding the use of your System.
