9.3 Patient Comfort Considerations

Reasons for sensitivity
• Incorrect tip placement. Point should be directed away from
root surfaces.
• Allowing the insert to remain in a static position on the tooth.
Keep the tip in motion and change it's path on the tooth.
• 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.
