DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT
Laser Hand Kit (optional item) – Features of the product:
See the Owner’s Manual - Laser Hand
Curing light (optional item) – Features of the product:
The Curing Light belongs to the newest generation of LED photo-activation devices. This
abbreviation stands for Light Emitting Diode, a totally different type of light emission, if
compared to conventional halogen equipment.
Unlike traditional devices, which generate wide-spectrum light and heat, this technology
uses a cold light of the precise wave length needed to activate various dental products.
LED technology, which was recently introduced in Dentistry, brought about several useful
features to those light-curing devices used in composite resin restoration. Besides being
more durable, LED technology turned devices more compact, ergonomic and easier to install
and transport. The emission of cold light within a precise wave length range ensures the
safe cure of camphorquinone-activated composites, preventing dental heating, pulp damage
or discomfort for both patient and dentist. Although being relatively new, this technology
is nowadays in its second generation. LED safety and efficiency, now allied to high-energy
emission, are available to all clinic procedures which require light-curing power, including
bleaching treatments.
The light of 440nm-460nm wave length, allied to the high energy emitted by Curing
Light, makes possible the multi-functionality of this device:
- Direct restoration procedures: composite resins, ionomers and adhesives.
- Indirect restorations: adhesive cementation of laminates, inlays, esthetic pins and
metal-free crowns.
- Dental Bleaching: activation of bleaching gel and polymerization of gingival barriers.
Compatible with 35% hydrogen peroxide-based bleaching gels.
- Attachment of braces and orthodontic accessories.
- Activation of light-cure materials, such as sealants, surgical cements and covering
bases.
Designed and built with cutting-edge technology, it meets the highest standards specified
by world’s dental authorities.
Operation control display in handpiece, sound alarm with beep every 10 seconds and 4
beeps at the end of the cycle.
Advantages offered by Curing Light:
- More spectrally-selective light than conventional lamps.*
- Cold light, it doesn’t heat up the resin nor the tooth**
• Light compact equipment that provides handling comfort.
• Low power consumption.
• Longer useful life of the light emitting diode (equivalent to 36.000.000 cycles of 10
seconds).
• It does not use optical filter.
• It does not require forced ventilation, thus avoiding noise emission.
We noted that the light emitted by the Curing Light is completely contained within the
absorption interval of the photo starter, therefore it’s 100% used, whereas the conventional
equipment running on halogen lamps has non-used wave-length regions.
The Curing Light doesn’t generate heat since it uses light emitting diodes.
The light conductor is removable, made out of high resistance polymer and of easy
maintenance.

IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATION
The shape and the weight of each insert are important facts to obtain a maximum
performance of the generator of ultrasounds, the operator attention to these two
characteristics, will assure the maintenance of the best performances of the units, however,
we recommended that the structure of the insert is not altered (limiting it or twisting it), in
the same way the aging of an inserted drives to an alteration of its original characteristic,
becoming it ineffective.
Any insert that has been damaged by use or accidental impact should be changed.
26
OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT
Technical and applications
All the inserts of the Ultrasound have the particularity of
vibrating in an only plane (front vibrations to back, and in the
axis of the insert).
The lateral vibrations common to other destartarizators don’t
exit, the rectilinear displacement favors more precise approach
of the tooth and of the gum.
The enamel and the cement are protected of the inutile
shocks.
Inside of this main plane of vibration, the end of each insert
is driven by small vibratory movements.
To abtain the maximum performance ot the Ultrasound
the operator should pay attention to the specific vibrations
regulations of each insert.

the handpiece and the teeth, with an angle from
30 to 45º, describing circular movements over
the teeth.
The bicarbonate jet must be directed to the
occlusal edge and not to the gingival edge in order
to avoid an unpleasant sensation to the patient.
Remove the upper lid (01), add 20 to 40
sodium bicarbonate, this quantity is enough to
meet prophylaxis needs.
ATTENTION
In order to avoid clogging, don’t add more
than 40g of bicarbonate. Bicarbonate level can be
checked through the transparent lid.
To adjust the bicarbonate jet power, use the
selector (12) pag.08; to increase pressure, turn it
clockwise, to decrease, counterclockwise.

- The efficacy depends on the perfect dosage of the volume of water and quantity of
powder.
- The quantity of water in excess will cause a reduction in the effect of the powder, due
to the washing.
- Reducing the water too much will make the powder more aggressive.
