Ultrasonic is a __________ approach utilizing both methods is preferred.

BLENDED

___________________ instrumentation uses rapid energy vibrations of powered instrument tip to fracture calculus, disrupt plaque, and flush perio pockets.

POWERED

The two major types of electronically powered devices are:

sonic and ultrasonic

The two ultrasonic types are:

piezoelectric ultrasonic and magnetostrictive ultrasonic

Electronically powered devices uses ____________ tips.

water cooled

The three modes of action are:

mechanical removal, cavitation, and water irrigation.

Mechanical removal in the modes of action is rapid ____________________ of tip to create microfractures in calculus.

vibrations

Cavitation in modes of action is when _________ flowing over tip disipiates heat produced.

water

______________ irrigation in modes of action washes toxic products and free floating bacteria from the pocket.

water

Magnetostrictive devices are available in two different kilohertz:

25k or 30k

Parkell GOLD (universal tip)

-mod to heavy supra and sub calculus


-use last 2-4 mm at 10-15 degree to the tooth like probe.


-lateral and back sides




*gold= ginormous

Parkell SILVER (slim line tip)

-light perio root debridement


-light stain


-de plaqueing of biofilm


-lavage/irrigate pocket




*silver=simple/slim

___mm of tip results in approximately 25% loss in calculus removal ability.

1

_______% loss of eficiency occurs at 2mm of wear. The tip should be discarded at this point.

50

_______ Lavage is when water stream within the perio pocket

Fluid

___________ microstreaming is the swirling effect produced within the pocket by stream of fluid flowing over vibrating tip.

Acoustic

Cavitation is the formation of tiny _________ in the water stream.

bubbles

Contraindications:

unstable pulmonary disease and dysphagia

Individuals with ___________________ disease that can be disseminated by aerosols.

communicable

Examples of communicable diseases are:

TB, hep, respiratory infections

Individuals with high ____________________ to infection that can be transmitted by contaminated dental unit, water, or aerosols.

susceptibility

Examples of individuals with high susceptibility are:

uncontrolled diabetes, organ transplants, chronic medical problems, and immunosuppressed individuals

Individuals with _______________ disease or difficulty breathing can have a high infection risk.

respiratory

back

The __________surfaces of the ultrasonic tip is the least amount of energy dispersion and can be adapted directly onto the tooth surface.

lateral

On a HAND instrument it is the ___________ edge that removes the calculus.

cutting

On a POWERED instrument tip it is the ____________ of the active tip area that removes calculus.

vibrations

The active tip area ranges from about ____ to ____mm of length

2-4mm

The power to remove calculus is concentrated on the last ____to____mm of the tip.

2-4mm

The efficiency of a powered instrument is determined by what 4 things:

1) vibrations


2) stroke length


3) stroke motion


4) surface of tip in contact with tooth

Powered devices use an electric current to _________ rapid vibrations of the instrument tip.

produce

___________refers to how many times the instrument tip vibrates per second.

frequency

The lower the frequency, the fewer _____________ per second

vibrations

The higher the frequency, the _________ vibrations per second.

MORE

The __________ refers to how far the instrument tip moves during one cycle.

STROKE

Another term for STROKE is ____________

Amplitude (POWER)

_______ power delivers a shorter LESS forceful stroke.

LOWER

_________power delivers a longer MORE forceful stroke.

Higher

What is the ideal frequency and amplitude for plaque removal?

Low frequency and low amplitude

What is the ideal frequency and amplitude for tenacious calculus removal?

High frequency and high amplitude

The two types of water delivery on a powered instrument are:

1) external flow tube: (separate tube caries the water to tip, exits near lower shank of tip)


2) Internal flow tube: (water flows through tip exiting at point)
