Satelec Scaling Tips
N°3 Tip

N°3 Tip - Removing discolorations and stains.

"Stains"

For removing discolorations and stains (tobacco, tea, coffee, etc.). The tip is used by placing the rounded end in contact with the surface to be treated.

The instruments are used at high power (blue code).

To be effective, the tips must be oriented tangentially to the surface being treated and must be moved in a back-and-forth sweeping motion without excessive lateral pressure.

Ultrasonic tips make faster scaling possible and cause less damage to tooth surfaces than manual instruments. Numerous studies have shown that ultrasonic treatments are 20 to 50% faster than manual instrumentation procedures. (5, 29)

The push-pull system of the SP Newtron module provides more efficient, homogeneous vibrations by constantly and automatically adjusting power to the applied load. Amplitude and power are controlled and adjusted automatically in real time (exclusively patented to Satelec).

Advantages

• The micro-hardness of the exclusive alloy used for our tips respects the enamel and prevents damage to dental tissues
• Controlled power = guaranteed efficiency.
• Low lateral pressure = enhanced patient comfort.
• Spray Control System = more efficient, better-controlled spray.

Color Coding System (CCS tips)

Since 2004, Satelec instruments are color coded to show their recommended power range. The same color coding is displayed on the devices: P-Max Newtron® XS (LED), P5 Newtron® XS (LED) and the SP Newtron® (LED) module; as well as on the Suprasson® P5 Booster

and the Prophy Max Newtron®.

• Low power and amplitude: Green.
• Medium power and amplitude: Yellow.
• High power and amplitude: Blue.
• Very high power and maximum amplitude: Orange.

The color marking resists cleaning in the ultrasound bath, ultrasonic vibrations, decontamination agents and sterilization, to a much higher degree than any other system available at present.

The markings have no effect on the performance of the CCS tips and the color coding is still visible when the tip is mounted on the handpiece.

Finally, the CCS system is completed with the wrenches (regular and dynamometric) that correspond to the tips by group or color code.
