As the popularity of dental implants has grown, customers have requested an implant insert to join the already well-established line of Cavitron™ inserts.  Therefore DENTSPLY UK are proud to introduce the Cavitron™ SofTip™ Implant Insert.

It is important for the abutment and surrounding structures of an implant to be free from calculus, deposits and biofilm for proper osseointegration – incorporation of the implant with the bone and attachment of the epithelium.  Many dental implants fail due to the build up of mineralised deposits and the presence of infection of the surrounding tissues causing perio-implantitis.  The SofTip               implant insert helps to remove calculus and deposits thus aiding in the implementation of the implant for improved patient oral health.

The special Insert is based on the existing Cavitron™ TFI insert however, has been modified to allow the disposable SofTip™ to be placed on the tip.  The Thru-Flow lavage delivery system enables flushing of debris for improved visibility, without compromising the attachment of the                 disposable tip.

 

The SofTip™s are single-use use items which should be disposed of after each patient.  They are easily attached and removed from the insert with the use of the Tip Tool (wrench) allowing a quick turnaround between patients.  Please note the SofTips will only fit securely and safely on the special Implant insert and when attached using the Tip Tool (wrench).   The Cavitron SofTip Ultrasonic Implant Insert is compatible with any 30K Cavitron ultrasonic system.
