Section 1: Indications For Use
Ultrasonic procedures:
All general supra and subgingival scaling applications.
• Periodontal debridement for all types of periodontal diseases.
• For patients with a history of sensitivity to ultrasonic scaling.
• Endodontic procedures.
Section 2: Contraindications and Warnings
2.1 Contraindications
• Ultrasonic Systems should not be used for restorative dental procedures involving the condensation of
amalgam.
2.2 Warnings
• Persons fitted with cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators and other active implanted medical devices, have
been cautioned that some types of electronic equipment might interfere with the operation of the device.
Although no instance of interference has ever been reported to DENTSPLY, we recommend that the
handpiece and cables be kept at least 6 to 9 inches (15 to 23 cm) away from any device and their leads
during use.
There are a variety of pacemakers and other medically implanted devices on the market. Clinicians should
contact the device manufacturer or the patient’s physician for detailed information about the device.
•
The use of High Volume Saliva Evacuation to reduce the quantity of aerosols released during treatment is
highly recommended.
•
It is the responsibility of the Dental Healthcare Professionals (DHCP) to determine the appropriate uses of
this product and to understand the health of each patient, the dental procedures being undertaken, and
industry and governmental agency recommendations, requirements, and regulations for safe practice of
dentistry.
•
Where asepsis is required or deemed appropriate in the best professional judgment of the DHCP, this
product should not be used.
•
During boil-water advisories, this product should not be operated as an open water system (e.g. connected
to a public water system). DHCP should discontinue use on patients and contact the local water authority
to determine when it is safe to continue use of this product. When the advisory is cancelled, the local
water authority should provide guidance for flushing of waterlines. All incoming waterlines from the
public water system inside the dental office (e.g., faucets, waterlines, and dental equipment) should be
flushed in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions for a period of 2 to 5 minutes.
•
It is suggested that prior to beginning treatment, patients should rinse with a known antimicrobial such as
Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12%. Rinsing with an antimicrobial reduces the chance of infection and
reduces the number of microorganisms the patient might release in the form of aerosols during treatment.
•
Per FCC Part 15.21, changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
Section 3: Precautions
3.1 Precautions for All Systems
• Do not place the System on or next to a radiator or other heat source. Excessive heat may damage the
System’s electronics. Place the System where air is free to circulate on all sides and beneath it.
• The system is portable, but must be handled with care when moving.
• Equipment flushing and dental water supply system maintenance are strongly recommended. See Section
9: System Care.
• Close manual shut-off valve on the dental office water supply every night before leaving the office.
• The use of an in-line water filter is recommended.
• Never operate scaler without fluid flowing through handpiece.

CavitronRF Scaler - DFU Draft 08-01-05.doc
3.2 Precautions for Ultrasonic Prophylaxis Procedures
• For optimum performance use only inserts manufactured by DENTSPLY® Professional.
• Like a toothbrush, ultrasonic inserts “wear” with use. Inserts with just 2 mm of wear lose about 50% of
their scaling efficiency. In general it is recommended that ultrasonic inserts be discarded and replaced
after one year of use to maintain optimal efficiency and avoid breakage. A DENTSPLY® Professional
Insert Efficiency Indicator is enclosed for your use.
• If excessive wear is noted, or the insert has been bent, reshaped or otherwise damaged, discard the insert
immediately.
• Ultrasonic insert tips that have been bent, damaged, or reshaped are susceptible to in-use breakage and
should be discarded and replaced immediately.
• Retract the lips, cheeks and tongue to prevent contact with the insert tip whenever it is placed in the
patient’s mouth.
Section 4: Infection Control
4.1 Infection Control Information Booklet
For your convenience, an Infection Control Information booklet has been included with your Cavitron® RF™
System. Additional booklets can be obtained by calling Customer Service at 1-800-989-8826, Monday
through Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. (Eastern Time). For other areas, contact your local DENTSPLY®
Professional representative.
4.2 General Infection Control Recommendations
•
As with all dental procedures, use universal precautions (i.e., wear face mask, eyewear, or face shield,
gloves and protective gown).
•
For maximal operator and patient safety, carefully follow the Infection Control Information procedures
detailed on the reference card accompanying your System.
•
As with high speed handpieces, and other dental devices, the combination of water and ultrasonic
vibration from you Cavitron® RF™ System will create aerosols. With proper technique, much of the
Cavitron® RF™ System’s aerosol dispersion can be effectively controlled and minimized. Please
carefully follow the procedural guidelines in this manual regarding the use of your System.
4.3 Water Supply Recommendations
• It is highly recommended that all dental water supply systems conform to applicable CDC (Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention) and ADA (American Dental Association) standards, and that all
recommendations be followed in terms of flushing, chemical flushing, and general infection control
procedures. See Sections 5.2 and 9.0.
•
As a medical device, this product must to be installed in accordance with applicable local, regional, and
national regulations, including guidelines for water quality (e.g. drinking water). As an open water
system, such regulation may require this device to be connected to a centralized water control device. The
CavitronE DualSelect™ Dispensing System may be installed to allow this unit to operate as a closed
water system.
Section 5: Installation Instructions
5.1 General Information
If the installation of your Cavitron® RF™ System is performed by someone other than trained DENTSPLY®

Section 8: Techniques for Use
8.1 Patient Positioning
(Picture)
For optimal access to both the upper and lower arches, the backrest of the chair should be adjusted as for other
dental procedures. This assures patient comfort and clinician visibility.
Have the patient turn his/her head to the right or left. Also position chin up or down depending upon the
quadrant and surface being treated. Evacuate irrigant using either a saliva ejector or High Volume Evacuator
(HVE).
8.2 Performing Ultrasonic Scaling Procedures
• Note: Refer to the Infection Control Information booklet supplied with your system for general
procedures to be followed at the beginning of each day and between patients.
• The edges of Cavitron® Ultrasonic Inserts are intentionally rounded so there is little danger of tissue
laceration with proper ultrasonic scaling technique. Whenever the insert tip is placed in the patient’s
mouth, the lips, cheek and tongue should be retracted to prevent accidental (prolonged) contact with the
activated tip.
• Hold the empty handpiece in an upright position over a sink or drain. Activate the Foot Control until
water exits.
• Lubricate the rubber O-ring on the insert with water before placing it into the handpiece. Fully seat insert
with a gentle push-twist motion. DO NOT FORCE.
• Hold the handpiece over a sink or drain. Activate the System. (Check spray to verify fluid is reaching the
working end of the insert tip). Adjust the Lavage Control to ensure adequate flow for the selected Power
setting. Greater flow settings provide cooler irrigation.
• It may be necessary to adjust lavage with the System in “Boost” mode (Foot Control fully depressed) so
adequate fluid will be available to cool tip to tooth interface.
• In general, it is suggested that a “feather-light-touch” be used for ultrasonic scaling. The motion of the
activated tip and acoustic effects of the irrigating fluid, in most cases, are adequate to remove even the
most tenacious calculus.
• Periodically check the Cavitron Ultrasonic Insert for wear with the Cavitron Insert Efficiency Indicator.
• The use of a saliva ejector or High Volume Evacuator (HVE) is recommended during all procedures.
• Set the System’s Ultrasonic Power Control knob to the lowest efficient power setting for the application
and the selected insert.
8.3 Patient Comfort Considerations
Reasons for sensitivity
• Incorrect tip placement. The point should never be directed toward tooth root surfaces.
• Not keeping tip in motion on tooth. Do not allow the insert to remain in a static position on any one area
of the tooth. Change the insert’s path of motion.
• Applying excessive pressure. Use a very light grasp and pressure, with a soft tissue fulcrum whenever
possible, especially on exposed cementum.
• If sensitivity persists, decrease power setting and/or move from the sensitive tooth to another and then
return.
Section 9: System Care
It is recommended that you perform the following maintenance procedures to help maximize water quality and
to be in compliance with CDC guidelines for infection control.
9.1 Daily Maintenance
Start-Up Procedures at the beginning of the day:
1. Open the manual shut-off valve on the dental office water supply system.
