Description
The ultrasonic micro-oscillations transmitted from the handpiece to the tip generate perfectly linear
movement. Therefore the tip undergoes to-and-fro movements in the axis of the handpiece.
The active area of each tip is located on the distal 2-3 mm. This working section may be applied on the
surface to be treated, moving progressively from the crown to the root.
The linear movement of the tip can be used in various ways which are also complementary:
• sweeping: indicated for scaling and disrupting the biofilm
✔ the tip must be applied tangentially on the part to be treated, and used over
its entire active section.
• hammering: used to fragment large tartar deposits and remove cements
✔ the tip must be positioned facing the element to be detached, and used
without pressure on its point.
