![]() After each use, the AHP should be wiped down with disinfecting wipes. Is there any maintenance to be done for the handpiece? Do not twist the handpiece or your may damage the handpiece connector. He handpiece pulls straight away from the tubing to be disconnected. How do I remove the handpiece from the tubing? These power settings correspond with the color-coded power control knob on all SATELEC® ultrasonic devices. Orange: Very high power for condensing composites and removing posts and crowns. Yellow: Medium power for conventional endodontics, re-treatments, gutta-percha condensing and surgery.īlue: High power for supragingival scaling, cavity preparation and margin preparation. Green: Low power for subgingival scaling, root-planing, perio and implant maintenance NEWTRON™ tips feature a unique color-coded system (CCS) to match recommended power settings for each application. Rule of thumb is the thinner the tip the lower the power setting. Some tips may break when the recommended power setting is exceeded. Operating within the correct power level range assures optimal tip vibration (amplitude) for efficient performance during application. It is important to use the proper power level. An easy way to understand this concept is to scale without stepping on the foot control just like manually scaling the teeth.ĭoes it matter what power level I use for a particular tip? The stroke required is a mirror image of hand instrumentation requiring only very little pressure resulting in no hand fatigue. This makes the lateral sides of the tip extremely efficient for the shaving off sheets of calculus. The tip vibrates in a linear motion on the same plane as the handpiece (straight forward and back). The tip “chatters” on the tooth and does not seem to be removing the calculus efficiently. We recommend contacting the patient’s cardiologist to get authorization before using a NEWTRON™ device on the patient with a pacemaker. ![]() Apply the tip to a lightly to metal object (key or coin) to verify its vibrating.Ĭan I use this on a patient with a pacemaker?Ĭurrent literature states that there is little to o EMI emitted from piezo handpieces, and most pacemakers are shielded as well to protect the patient. This is not the case with units utilizing magnetostrictive systems where vibration is felt in the handpiece. NEWTRON™ piezo devices operate quietly with no heat or vibration felt in the handpiece. I am working with the unit and I don’t feel, hear or see any vibration. ![]() Yes, if any medicament other than water is run through the unit, you must flush the unit and handpiece with water for one full minute after use. This is enough to keep the tip cool to the touch.Ĭan I run medicaments like chlorhexidine through my ultrasonic? There should be a light mist when the water comes in contact with the tip. Now adjust the power to the blue range and press the foot control. With the tip pointing upwards, adjust the water to a drip rate of two to three drips per second and make sure the water is reaching the very end of the tip (this will ensure water reaches the tip when working on the maxillary teeth) Then turn the power setting down to its lowest point. How do I set the water flow or how much water is needed?Ī good way to set the water flow is to do the following: - Place the # 1 tip on the handpiece.
