Peter Cancellier’s
Ultrasonic Study Purpose
To compare efficiency and
appropriate uses of Sybron MiniEndo,
Satelec P5, and Spartan MTS-1
ultrasonic units with a variety of
currently available ultrasonic tips
used in endodontics.
Purpose: Minimize the Grief
of Tip Loss
Why don’t I make a finer
prep when troughing
around a separated
instrument?
Purpose: Prevent Unnecessary
Loss of Tooth Structure

Ultrasonic Study
One operator used a new tip of the same
model in each unit at increasing power
levels.
The same extracted tooth’s root was used
for each similar tip.
No water was used to cool the tip so that
the activity of the tip would be observed
with a Sony MiniDV DCR-TRV9.
Ultrasonic Study
The result of ten
approximately one second
passes at each power level
were documented:


Nikon Coolpix 950 attached
via a Carr 2 adaptor
One chip lipstick camera
attached via a dual cine
mount to an aus Jena
microscope using an aus
Jena ring light and SuperLux
40 metal halide light source.

You’ll have to come to Roots Summit IV
This course will save you thousands of
dollars in broken tips
This course will save the patient mass
quantities of unnecessarily removed
dentin.
Come to the Summit
Kendo is freakin’. He wants us all there.
On Wednesday at the hands-on and
Thursday during the lecture, I’ll share
which tips work best with which unit, the
indications for the various tips, help you
stop breaking tips, and get you to use
ultrasonics with most every case.
