The third tip, for complex cases

Up towards the coronal third. AS9D completes the sequence. Acteon describe it as “complementing the AS3D and AS6D tips, for complex cases and for the preparation of the root canal to the crown third of anterior teeth”. Their brochure adds that the diamond coating is only on the extremity so as not to over-prepare the canal, and that the tip should be introduced into the canal and oriented in the root axis before being activated.

›  Clean, disinfect and sterilise before each use, following Acteon’s cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation instructions for tips (J02001).
›  Replace at least once a year. Acteon: because a maximum number of uses cannot be set, tips in routine use should be “replaced at least once a year”, and sooner if the tip no longer vibrates as expected or treatment slows.
›  Watch the site for heat. Acteon’s tip sheets state that the practitioner has to continually monitor the clinical site to immediately identify any heating risk.
