parallel to the long axis

not held away from the tooth - walk around the gingiva

45
Q

what can trapped air cause in power scalers

A

the hand-piece to exceed comfortable operator temperature

46
Q

why is it important to hold the power handpiece vertically and press power from the foot pedal to allow water to overflow first?

A

allows water to flow over the stacks and maintain consistent performance of the insert

all of the air will be expelled from the handpiece

47
Q

use of magnetostrictive technology in power scalers

A

low voltage magnetic signal causes tip movement

handpiece contains coils that activate the inserts causing them to vibrate
- inserts are easily interchangeable

48

what is the purpose of water flowing and spraying out of working tip of power scaler

A

used to wash away debris and endotoxins

cool tooth to tip interface

49
Q

where should the power scaler cable be positioned

it should be wrapped around the forearm or hooked inside the pinkie finger of the hand you instrument to prevent wrist fatigue

50
Q

what does the power setting of power scaler determine

A

Q

when do you want a wider stroke of power scaler

A

heavy debris removal

53
Q

when do you want a smaller shorter stroke of power scaler

‘O’ ring

insert tip

57
Q

stack

A

energy source of the instrument for the insert

frequency

61
Q

connecting body of insert system

A

connects the energy source (stack) to the insert tip

62
Q

‘O’ ring of insert system

A

rubber ‘o’ ring stops the flow of water from coming outside the handpiece and directs water towards the tip
- wet the ‘o’ ring as bleed the handpiece

only form of lubrication required for maintenance of O ring
keep a supply

63
Q

black O rings

A

all TFI (thru flow) and FSI (focus spray inserts)

64
Q

A

classic P inserts, SLI (slimline) cavitron jet insert

65
Q

insert tip

A

the tip is the working end of the insert

66
Q

why should you not use the tip of any ultrasonic insert

A

will cause gouging of the root surface

67
Q

what are TFI inserts designed for

A

supragingival, moderate or heavy debris removal

  • can be used subgingival if tissue is retractable
68
Q

what are FSI 10, 100, 1000 inserts used for

A

supragingival moderate to heavy debris removal

greater visibility with less water spray due to focussed delivery and enhanced power
- aerosols and cleaning time decreased

69
Q

what are SLI inserts used for

A

light to moderate debris removal and fine root debridement

40% thinner than standard inserts, available with external water lube or FSI

greater tactile sense

70
Q

FSI

A

focused spray inserts

71
Q

TFI

A

thru flow

72
Q

SLI

A

slimline inserts

73
Q

ultrasonic system

A

devices operating at frequencies above the audible range includes systems in 18 to 50kHz range (18000 to 50000 cycles/sec)

74
Q

magnetostrictive ultrasonic system

A

method of creating mechanical movement using low voltage magnetic signal

handpiece contains coils that activate the interchangeable inserts causing them to vibrate

75
Q

piezoelectric ultrasonic system

A

method of creating mechanical movement using high voltage electrical signals

handpiece contains non-removable crystals

76
Q

sonic system

A

devices operating in audible range

3 to 8kHz (3000 to 8000 cycles/sec)

77
Q

air polishing

A

a controlled stream of sodium bicarbonate or aluminium trihydroxide is used for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes

also used for prophylaxis of orthodontic pt and preparation for sealants second bonding

78
Q

power scaler frequency

A

the number of times per second the insert tip moves back and fourth during a cycle

79
Q

power scaler cycle

A

one complete linear or elliptical stoke path

80
Q

optimum frequency

A

range between 18kHz and 32kHz is abobe the audible frequency

within a range to give greater pt comfort and maximum life of insert

81
Q

A

affected by frequency

  • in 25-30kHz active tip area is approx. 4-3mm
  • in 40-50kHz active tip area is less than 2-4mm
82
