Dependable Performance
Cavitron products are designed, tested and manufactured in the United States. We combine clinical expertise, advanced design, manufacturing know-how and the most durable components and materials available. After thousands of patients, youll still get the same rock-solid performance you enjoyed on day one.

Why Ultrasonics?
Clinical Education
DENTSPLY knows that the future of dentistry depends on providing a first-rate education for tomorrows dental professionalsas well as supporting research programsand continuing education for those already established in their careers. We play an active role in creating that future through our on-staff clinical education team by helping students learn best practices in the classroom, and stimulating their professional development through hands-on clinical learning activities. We also supply the equipment that many of the worlds top dental and dental hygiene schools usethe same equipment that theyll most likely use throughout their careers. And our ADA CERP & AGD approved continuing education courses help working dental professionals stay up-to-date on the latest techniques and technology. The evidence is clear. Todays clinician knows how ultrasonic scaling advances patient care. Since the landmark Drisko review article of 1993, non-surgical periodontal therapy has advanced beyond basic calculus removal. Ultrasonic therapy in periodontics now focuses on the etiology of periodontal disease by disruption of bacterial biofilms and stimulation of the host immune response1. In the American Association of Periodontology position paper on ultrasonic scalers (2000), the following statements were made 2 :

Superior Technology
Our magnetostrictive technology provides easy adaptation technique and enhanced clinical access. We originally recognized, back in 1987, 30,000 cycles per second (kHz) as an efficient operating frequency for both clinical power and patient comfort. The market has endorsed this over the last eighteen years as 30kHz units continue to play a dominant role in the United States, the country recognized as a leader in preventive dentistry.

In general, the evidence suggests that the disruption and removal The lavage effect produced by the water coolant used with
power-driven scalers provides a constant flushing activity during instrumentation that appears to have some therapeutic effects3.

of subgingival biofilms (plaque) can be accomplished with powerdriven scalers at a level comparable to manual scalers.

Responsive Service
Our factory certified service team is ready to troubleshoot, repair and retune your Cavitron unit immediately, and can provide a loaner unit upon requestso theres minimal interruption to your schedule, and no compromise in the quality of patient care.

Ultrasonics are clearly superior in the treatment of Class II and

Class III furcations when used by experienced dental professionals. Based on these observations and published studies, sonics and ultrasonics may be the instrument of choice for scaling and root planning furcations.

The bottom line: an ultrasonic scaler is one of the single most important instruments you have for improving the periodontal hygiene and health of your patients.

When you choose Cavitron products, youre investing in clinical efficacy, ergonomics, ease of use, patient comfort and long-term reliability. It gives you the confidence youre delivering high quality care to your patients. The new Cavitron Plus ultrasonic scaler and Cavitron Jet Plus combination ultrasonic scaler and air polishing unit take this feeling to a whole new level. Theyre the most comfortable, responsive and clinically effective ultrasonic scaler and combination units weve ever produced. The dynamic auto-tune technology drives the insert at its natural harmonic frequency the point of maximum tip stroke. Our exclusive system uses a feedback coil in the Steri-Mate handpiece to monitor the inserts harmonic frequency, enabling you to easily deliver clinical results. And unlike manually tuned units, Cavitron systems deliver consistent tip stroke while enabling quick insert changes to maximize instrument adaptability. The patented Sustained

Performance System (SPS ) technology common to

both of these units automatically adjusts system power to maintain tip stroke regardless of clinical load and conditions. Its like cruise control with a new expanded range to deliver perfectly tuned performance every time.

Traditional Features: Clinical Efficacy

The Blue Zone has been a tradition on
Cavitron ultrasonic scalers for nearly ten years. It identifies the power range most comfortable for sub-gingival scaling. Weve expanded the Blue Zone to provide more accurate power control. When combined with Boost mode, the system offers the best of all worlds. Set the power level most comfortable for your patient, and boost the power by depressing the foot control to the second level. Power away tenacious calculus with up to 25% power boost, instantly. Our Steri-Mate handpiece offers several practical benefits. No other system handpiece offers all these advantages. The swivel in the cable attachment allows the handpiece to freely pivot 330 degrees alleviating the cables drag. Your grip is no longer pinched up on the insert, because the swivel is in the handle. Prep time is hastened thanks to our detachable handpiece design. Place the handpiece in the autoclave just like you would your inserts and hand instruments. Working sub gingivally on the anteriors, or with higher power posteriorally, the lavage can be controlled right from the handpiece to deliver precisely the right amount to keep your patient comfortable and the handpiece cool.

The result is a truly remarkable innovation: a wireless foot control that works from anywhere within three meters of the base. The ergonomically contoured shape can be activated from any side. Set the system's power at a comfortable level for your patient and boost the power up to 25% as needed with a conveinent tap of your foot.

Increased efficiency means reduced stress.

As a dental health care professional, youre concerned for your patients health and comfort. Providing them the best care is foremost on your mind. The Cavitron Plus and Jet Plus systems provide a high level of clinical efficacy. Our dynamic auto-tune technology allows you to switch inserts as often and efficiently as you do your hand instruments. The handpiece attachment enables unsurpassed oral access and tooth adaptability enabling you to effectively utilize curved inserts for superior debridement in deep pockets and furcations. As a clinician youre also concerned with bio-accumulative stress disorders, and how they can impact your career. Hand scaling is typical of the type of repetitive motion that experts agree may lead to painful carpal-tunnel syndrome. Our ultrasonic units replace the stress of hand scaling with a low-amplitude high-frequency energy thats capable of powering off even the most tenacious calculus with a feather touch.
