PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Cavitron®Plus Ultrasonic Scaler is a precision
engineered and manufactured instrument. It contains
controls and components for ultrasonic scaling. The system
produces 30,000 strokes per second at the ultrasonic
insert’s working tip that when combined with the cavitational
effect of the coolant lavage creates a synergistic action
that is designed to “power away” even the heaviest calculus
deposits while maintaining operator and patient comfort.
The Cavitron Plus Ultrasonic Scaler is equipped with the
Sustained Performance System™ (SPS Technology), which
offers a constant balance between scaling efficiency and
patient comfort by maintaining power when the insert tip
encounters tenacious deposits, allowing the clinician to
effectively scale even at a decreased/lower power setting.
The Cavitron Plus System has extended the SPS technology
by expanding the Blue Zone range, providing finer resolution
to the power settings.
Advanced features that make the Cavitron Plus a wise

SECTION 1:
Indications For Use
Ultrasonic Procedures
• All general supra and subgingival scaling applications
• Periodontal debridement for all types of periodontal
diseases
• Endodontic procedures
SECTION 2:
Contraindications
• Ultrasonic Systems should not be used for restorative
dental procedures involving the condensation of
amalgam.
SECTION 3: 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 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 specific recommendations. This unit
complies with IEC 60601 Medical Device Standards.
• It is the responsibility of the Dental Healthcare
Professional to determine the appropriate uses of this
product and to understand:
– the health of each patient,
– the dental procedures being undertaken,
– and applicable industry and governmental agency
recommendations for infection control in dental
healthcare settings,
– requirements, and regulations for safe practice of
dentistry; and
– these Directions for Use in their entirety, including
Section 4 Precautions, Section 6 Infection Control, and
Section 10 System Care.
• The use of High Volume Saliva Evacuation to reduce
the quantity of aerosols released during treatment is
highly recommended.
• Where asepsis is required or deemed appropriate in
the best professional judgment of the Dental Healthcare
Professional, 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). A Dental Healthcare
Professional should disconnect the system from the
central water source. The Cavitron DualSelect system
can be attached to this unit and operated as a closed
system until the advisory is cancelled. When the
advisory is cancelled, flush all incoming waterlines
from the public water system (e.g. faucets, waterlines
and dental equipment) in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions for a minimum of 5 minutes.
• Prior to beginning treatment, patients should rinse with
an antimicrobial such as Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12%.
Rinsing with an antimicrobial reduces the chance of
infection and reduces the number of microorganisms
released 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.
• Failure to follow recommendations for environmental
operating conditions, including input water temperature,
could result in injury to patients or users.
• Insufficient water flow could result in elevated water
and tip temperature. When operated at the input water
temperature specified in the Water Line Requirements
Section 7.1 and with sufficient water flow, the water and
tip temperature should not exceed 50o C (122o F).
SECTION 4: Precautions
4.1 System Precautions
• 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
10: 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 system without fluid flowing through the
handpiece.
• Always ensure that the electrical connections on the
handpiece cable and the Steri-Mate®handpiece are clean
and dry before assembling them for use.
4.2 Procedural Precautions
General
• As with all dental procedures, use universal precautions
(i.e., wear face mask, eyewear, or face shield, gloves and
protective gown).

8
Ultrasonics
• The Cavitron Plus unit works with Cavitron inserts as
a system, and was designed and tested to deliver
maximum performance for all currently available Cavitron
brand ultrasonic inserts. Companies that manufacture,
repair or modify inserts carry the sole responsibility for
proving the efficacy and performance of their products
when used as a part of this system. Users are cautioned
to understand the operating limits of their insert before
using in a clinical setting.
• Like bristles of 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 5:
Adverse Reactions
None Known.
SECTION 6:
Infection Control
6.1 General Infection Control
• For operator and patient safety, carefully practice the
infection control procedures detailed in the Infection
Control Information Booklet accompanying your
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
areas outside the U.S., contact your local DENTSPLY
Professional representative.
• As with high speed handpieces and other dental devices,
the combination of water and ultrasonic vibration from
the Cavitron Plus Ultrasonic Scaler will create aerosols.
Following the procedural guidelines in Section 9 of this
manual can effectively control and minimize aerosol
dispersion.
6.2 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 7.1 and 10.
• As a medical device, this product must 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 Cavitron®
DualSelect™ Dispensing System may be installed to allow
this unit to operate as a closed water system.
SECTION 7:
Installation Instructions
Anyone installing a Cavitron Plus System should observe the
following requirements and recommendations.
7.1 Water Line Requirements

water system’s supply line pressure is above 40 psi,
install a water pressure regulator on the water supply line
to your Cavitron Plus Ultrasonic Scaler.
• A manual shut-off valve on the dental water system
supply line should be used so that the water can be
completely shut-off when the office is unoccupied.
• In addition to the water filter supplied, it is recommended
that a filter in the dental water system supply line be
installed so that any particulates in the water supply will
be trapped before reaching the Cavitron system.
• After the above installations are completed on the dental
water supply system, the dental office water line should
be thoroughly flushed prior to connection to the Cavitron
system.
• Incoming water temperature to the Cavitron System
should not exceed 25˚C (77˚F). If needed a device
should be installed to maintain a temperature within this
specification, or a Cavitron DualSelect Dispensing
System attached to allow this system to be operated
as a closed water system.
7.2 Electrical Requirements
• Incoming power to the system must be 100 volts AC to
240 volts AC, single phase 50/60 Hz capable of
supplying 1.0 amps.
• The system power should be supplied through the AC
power cord provided with your system.

8.5 Tap-On™Technology Wireless Foot
Pedal Operation
Using Foot Pedal in Tap-OnT M Mode
For scaling procedures,Tap-OnTM Technology eliminates the
need to hold the pedal down. Tapping the foot pedal once
activates ultrasonic power or rinse mode for approximately
4 minutes. Tapping the foot pedal while in Tap-OnTM mode
disables the ultrasonic power and water flow. Boost is still
available while scaling in Tap-OnTM mode. To use boost, simply
depress the foot pedal to the second position (all the way to
the floor) to activate and hold as long as boost is desired.
Release foot pedal to return to Tap-On T M mode.
TIPS:
Tap-OnTM Technology will not run water unless an
insert is in the handpiece
A sensor in the handpiece holder will prevent
Tap-OnTM Technology from operating when the
handpiece is in the holder.
If the foot pedal is not tapped quickly, it will
function in a conventional manner.
How to Disable and Enable Tap-OnTM Technology
Tap-OnTM Technology feature can be disabled by
simultaneously holding the Purge and Turbo buttons for a
period of approximately 5 seconds. The two buttons will blink
approximately 6 times. When the buttons are released, they
will blink an additional 6 times to confirm Tap-OnTM has been
disabled.
Tap-OnTM Technology feature can be enabled by
simultaneously holding the Purge and Turbo buttons for a
period of approximately 5 seconds. The two buttons will blink
approximately 6 times to confirm Tap-OnTM has been enabled.
Using Foot Pedal without Tap-OnT M Mode
For scaling operation, the first position activates both the
ultrasonic energy and lavage at the insert tip. The second
position activates the Boost Mode. The Boost Mode (fully
depressed Tap-OnTM Foot Pedal) increases the ultrasonic
power level for quick removal of tenacious deposits without
adjusting the power level knob. To deactivate Boost Mode,
release Tap-OnTM Foot Pedal to first position.

warm, increase the flow rate. With experience the Dental
Healthcare Professional will be able to determine the
best flow rate setting for optimum operating efficiency
and patient comfort.
9.2 Turbo Mode
Pressing the “Turbo” button on the scaling unit increases
the unit’s ultrasonic power up to 25%. When you need more
power for an extended period of time, simply press the Turbo
button on the display panel (arrows will illuminate to show you
are in “Turbo” mode).
DENTSPLY recommends that the clinician familiarize
themselves with the available power levels throughout the
power knob rotation in both normal and turbo modes. To do
this, simply hold your favorite insert over the sink and adjust
the power knob while observing the inserts spray pattern and
toggling between both normal and turbo modes.
9.3 Boost Mode
Boost provides a temporary increase in ultrasonic scaling
power for quick removal of tenacious calculus without
touching the unit. Boost is activated by fully depressing the
Tap-OnTM Foot Pedal to second position (all the way to the
floor). When boost is activated, the boost icon will illuminate
on the display panel. Boost remains on as long as the
clinician has the foot pedal pressed all the way down. In
order to deactivate boost, release the Tap-OnTM Foot Pedal to
first position.
9.4 Patient Positioning
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).
9.5 Performing Ultrasonic
Scaling Procedures
Note: Refer to the Infection Control Information
booklet supplied with your system and Section 10 of
this manual for general procedures to be followed at
the beginning of each day and between patients.
• Follow precautions listed in the General and Ultrasonic
sections of 4.2 Procedural Precautions
• The edges of Cavitron Ultrasonic Inserts are intentionally
rounded so there is minimal 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.
• Turn Power Level Control to select ultrasonic power level
for operation. Clockwise increases system power.
Power level will increase throughout the full range of the
control. Hold the handpiece over a sink or drain. While
in Tap-OnTM mode, simply tap the Tap-OnTM Foot Pedal
to activate the system. (If Tap-OnTM mode is turned off,
press and hold the Tap-OnTM Foot Pedal down to activate
the system.) Check water spray to verify fluid is reaching
the working end of the insert tip. Adjust the water lavage
control until the water (lavage) flows with a rapid drip or
small spray. Higher water flow settings provide cooler
irrigation.
• It may be necessary to adjust lavage with the system
in “Boost” mode (Tap-OnTM Foot Pedal 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 Power Level Control to the lowest
efficient power setting for the application and the
selected insert
• Keep the foot pedal near your foot to make it convenient
to access.
9.6 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.
