Removing thin deposits from the lingual surfaces (Instrument B)
Adjust the ultrasonic setting by turning the "Power" knob (4). Treatment should be
carried out with instrument B (9) at a low ultrasonic setting. A low setting is sufficient
for this type of treatment. Use the "Water" knob (3) to adjust the water flow rate to the
ultrasonic setting.
Instrument B (9) can be used at angles between 0° and 180°. Hold the tip of
instrument B on the labial surface of the tooth, at an angle of between 80° and 100°.
Instrument B (9) is shaped to prevent powerful ultrasonic oscillations in the tip
extension. The curvature of instrument B weakens the oscillations. Moving the
instrument across the labial surface will not harm the enamel. The rounded tip of the
instrument provides for gentle treatment.
The treatment should be carried out by moving the instrument slowly backwards and
forwards, beginning by removing the calculus from the incisal edge and then working
towards the sulcus.
Finally, polish the surface of the teeth with the AirFlow unit.
Removing thick, hard deposits from extensive areas (Instrument C)
Adjust the ultrasonic setting by turning the "Power" knob (4). When treating with
instrument C (10), the ultrasonic setting can be increased to maximum. Use the
"Water" knob (3) to adjust the water flow rate to the ultrasonic setting.
Instrument C (10) can be used at angles between 0° and 180°. Hold the tip of
instrument C on the labial surface of the tooth, at an angle of between 80° and 100°.
Even high frequency ultrasonic oscillations will not harm the enamel as the flat tip of
instrument C (10) provides for gentle treatment.
Only touch the tooth lightly during treatment. The powerful oscillations produced by
instrument C (10) detach large areas of calculus when only minimal pressure is
exerted. Remove the deposits with slow up and down movements.
Finally, polish the surface of the teeth with the AirFlow unit.
