7.4 Foot Control Information & Operation
• The Foot Control activates both ultrasonic energy and Lavage
Flow at the insert tip. Lightly depressing the footswitch
whenever the handpiece is removed from the handpiece
holder will activate the ultrasonics and lavage flow.
• A boost function is activated by fully depressing the
footswitch. This feature is active in the low to mid range
of the power control. The power level will return to the
control setting when the footswitch is returned to its slightly
depressed position. The momentary increase in power is
indicated by a slight increase in noise level and a change in
spray pattern.
• Practicing outside the mouth is recommended for the operator
to familarize themselves with the boost feature.

Section 9: Techniques for Use

9.1 Patient Positioning

• The backrest of the chair should be adjusted for optimal
access to both the upper and lower arches. This assures

• Have the patient turn head to the right or left.
• Position chin up or down depending on the quadrant and
surface being treated.
• Evacuate irrigant using either a saliva ejector or High
Vacuum Evacuator (HVE).

9.2 Performing Ultrasonic Scaling Procedures

®
• The edges of Cavitron
rounded so there is little danger of tissue laceration with
proper ultrasonic scaling techniques. The lips, cheek and
tongue should be retracted to prevent accidental prolonged
contact with the activated tip whenever the insert is placed in
the mouth.
• Always adjust the lavage so adequate fluid will be available
to cool the tip/tooth interface.
• In general, it is suggested that a "feather light touch" be used
both supra- and subgingivally. The motion of the activated tip
Ultrasonic Inserts are intentionally
