Section 9: Techniques for Use

9.1 Patient Positioning

• For optimal access to both the upper and lower arches,
the backrest of the chair should be adjusted as for
other dental procedures. This assures patient comfort and
clinician visibility.
• Have the patient turn their head to the right or left. Also
position their chin up or down depending upon the quad-
rant and surface being treated. Evacuate irrigant using either
a saliva ejector or High Volume Evacuator (HVE).
9.2 Performing Ultrasonic
Scaling Procedures
• NOTE: Refer to the Infection Control Information card
supplied with your System for general procedures to be fol-
lowed at the beginning of each day and between patients.
• The edges of Cavitron
rounded so there is little danger of tissue laceration with
proper ultrasonic scaling technique. Whenever the insert tip
is placed in the patient's mouth, the lips, cheek and tongue
should be retracted to prevent accidental prolonged contact
with the activated tip.
• Turn unit on.

8.2 Medicaments

The following medicaments are compatible with the Cavitron
Select™ SPS™ when used with the Cavitron
Pump:
• Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12%
(Oris™ CHX Antimicrobial Irrigating Solution)
• Cetylpyridinium Chloride (Cepacol
• Essential Oils (Listerine)
• Hydrogen Peroxide, 3% USP
• Povidone Iodine, 10% Solution
• Saline Solution
• Sanguinaria Extract (Viadent
• Sterile Water, USP
(For irrigating and System maintenance purposes).
• Hold the empty Handpiece in an upright position. Activate
the Foot Control until fluid exits. Once fluid exits, deactivate
foot controller.
• Lubricate the rubber O-ring on the insert with water before
placing it into the handpiece. Fully seat insert with a gentle
push-twist motion. DO NOT FORCE.
• Activate the System. Hold the handpiece over a sink or drain.
Check spray temperature to verify fluid is reaching the work-
ing end of the insert tip. Adjust the Lavage Control knob to
ensure adequate flow for the selected Power setting. Greater
flow settings provide cooler irrigant.
• It may be necessary to adjust lavage with the system in
"Boost" mode (Foot Control fully depressed) so adequate
fluid will be available to cool tip to tooth interface.
• In general, it is suggested that a "feather-light-touch" be used
both supra- and subgingivally. The motion of the activated
tip and acoustic effects of the irrigating fluid, in most cases, is
adequate to remove even the most tenacious calculus.
• Periodically check the Cavitron
with the DENTSPLY Insert Efficiency Indicator. with the DENTSPLY with the DENTSPLY
• The use of a saliva ejector or High Volume Evacuator (HVE)
is recommended during all procedures.
• Set the System's Power Adjustment knob to the lowest power
setting for the application and the selected insert.

9.3 Patient Comfort Considerations

Reasons for sensitivity
• Incorrect tip placement. Point should be directed away from root
surfaces.
• Not keeping tip in motion on tooth. Do not allow the insert to
remain in a static position on any one area of the tooth. Change
the insert's path of motion.
• 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.
