• Correct tip vibration requires a tight fit, but without over-tightening as there is no stop
point. Over-tightening the tip with force may damage tip and/or handpiece.
• Do not rotate the handpiece during installation of the tip when the handpiece is
already connected to the cord.
• Do not disconnect the handpiece when power is switched on and the foot pedal is
pressed down.

GeNeral Notes
• The advanced technology of the device guarantees a stable power transfer to the tip
to work at a constant amplitude.
• The indicated power ranges are only relevant for operating the ProUltra Piezo
Ultrasonic. These recommended ranges may not be appropriate for other ultrasonic
piezo-generators.
• The recommended settings are determined both by the clinician's experience with
ultrasonics and the power needed to safely complete the specific procedure.
• Some ultrasonic tips are equipped with a water port to run water through the water
supply tube in order to cool during the treatment.

Notes
• Prior to the endodontic treatment place a rubber dam to avoid inhaling any
foreign objects.
• Sufficient optical magnification is recommended.
PrecautioNs
• Dry operation without cooling can lead to overheating of the handpiece and might
cause a necrosis.
• To avoid this from happening, work intermittently, i.e. take breaks (5 mins
operation/10 mins pause) when using the tip. For cooling, internal water line
irrigation or external irrigation with a syringe is recommended.
• For high-power applications, e.g. dislodging a metal post, it is mandatory to use
water for cooling by adjusting the water spray knob.
• Other medium-power applications, can be carefully carried out in dry procedure for
a short time.
Consider the following factors when selecting the endodontic tip:
1. Choose the tip size in accordance to coronal access, root anatomy, procedural
application and general visibility.
2. Choose the appropriate minimum power setting for the tip that is being utilized.
3. Increase the power gradually. Observe whether this setting allows safe procedure. If
not efficient enough, increase the power gradually up to the maximum power setting
for that tip, as needed to maximize clinical performance.
4. Use irrigation whenever the clinical situation is appropriate. (See Precautions)
Precautions regarding breakage
• Do not switch quickly to the maximum level for each indication in order to avoid tip
breakages. Too much vibration will damage the tip.
• Never activate an ultrasonic instrument by pressing the foot pedal if it is still in the air
and has not engaged the work site.
• Even if used according to the instructions – within the recommended power range –
the tip can break in some cases.
