Section 9: Techniques for Use
9.1 Patient Positioning
• The backrest of the chair should be adjusted
for optimal access to both the upper and lower
arches. This assures patient comfort and
clinician visibility.
• Have the patient turn head to the right or left.
• Position chin up or down depending on the
quadrant and surface being treated.
• Evacuate irrigant using either a saliva ejector or
High Vacuum Evacuator (HVE).
9.2 Performing Ultrasonic Scaling Procedures
• The edges of Cavitron
intentionally rounded so there is little danger of
tissue laceration with proper ultrasonic scaling
techniques. The lips, cheek and tongue should
be retracted to prevent accidental prolonged
contact with the activated tip whenever the insert
is placed in the mouth.
• 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.
• The Blue Zone™, an extended low power range,
is marked on the dial in blue.
• 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 adjustments
knob with the insert outside the patients mouth.
9. 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.
