2.1 Intended purpose
This device is a piezo-operated ultrasonic device
for use in dental applications. It is mainly used for
the treatment of periodontal defects. In addition,
the device is used in the area of prophylaxis, peri-
implantitis treatment as well as dental hygiene.
2.2 Indications
❯
Periodontal conditions
❯
Peri-implantitis
❯
Hard supragingival and subgingival deposits
(calculus or concrement)
❯
Soft supragingival and subgingival deposits
(plaque or biofilm)
2.3 Contraindication
Ultrasound vibrations can interfere with the func-
tion of heart pacemakers and defibrillators.
Patients with heart pacemakers or defibrillators
should not be treated with these instruments.
2.4 Intended use
The ultrasonic device is designed for use in
periodontology, for the removal of plaque and for
the cleaning of tooth surfaces. This is done via
cavitation, polishing, grinding and scraping. Fur-
ther assistance for the treatment can be provided
by using hydroxyl and/or fluorapatite as a polish-
ing agent in periodontology. Only agents
approved by the manufacturer may be used.
Application with hydroxyapatite and/or fluoroapa-
tite as polishing agent is not intended for Vector
Easy, Vector Easy Pro or Vector Scaler.
Scaler handpiece applications
– Subgingival and supragingival removal of den-
tal calculus and concrement
The piezo-ceramic drive of the Vector Scaler
allows efficient removal of deposits while provid-
ing the best and gentlest possible protection of
sensitive tissue structures. The ergonomic design
of the handpiece offers six long-lasting high per-
formance LEDs to provide the best possible illu-
mination even into areas that are difficult to see.
