Patient Comfort Considerations; System Care; Daily Protocol - DENTSPLY Cavitron G90 Instrucciones Para El Uso

• Always adjust the lavage so adequate fluid will be
available to cool the tip-tooth interface.
• In general, it is suggested that 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.
• Set the System's power adjustment knob to the lowest
power setting for the application and the selected insert.
• Only adjust the System's power adjustment knob with
the insert outside the patients mouth.

10.3 Patient Comfort Considerations

Reasons for sensitivity
• Incorrect tip placement. Point should be directed away
from root surfaces.
• Not keeping the tip in motion on the 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 power setting and/or
move from the sensitive tooth to another and then return.
