Description:
Ideal for bulk removal of hard tissue, including bone (with some limited use for soft tissue). Compared to G6 and Z6 tips, this tip provides a slightly wider surface area cut, but not as deep into the tissue (i.e., wider, but shallower cut).
Sapphire
Diameter: 600 µm (tapered shaft, from 1200 µm to 600 µm at output end)
Length: 9 mm
Hard Tissue Applications:
Osteotomy, ostectomy, osteoplasty and osseous recontouring; cutting, contouring, shaving and resection of oral osseous tissue; cutting bone to prepare a window access to the apex of the root; apicoectomy; cavity preparation I-V; caries removal; hard tissue roughening or etching; enameloplasty; tooth preparation to access to a root canal; root end preparation for retrofill
Soft Tissue Applications:
Excisional and incisional biopsies; exposure of unerupted teeth; fibroma removal; hemostasis; implant recovery; incision and drainage of abscesses; leukoplakia; operculectomy; oral papillectomy; reduction of gingival hypertrophy; soft tissue crown lengthening; treatment of canker sores; vestibuloplasty; frenectomy and frenotomy; gingival troughing for crown impression; gingivectomy; gingivoplasty; gingival incision and excision; removal of pathological tissues; incision and drainage of periapical abscessess; full, partial and split thickness flap preparation
