The pointed micro-blade tip for calcifications and fibre posts

The sharpest of the three. CAP3 is the third Canal Access Preparation tip. The tip sheet describes a “micro-blade tip for canal entrance location and canal opening, removal of calcifications or dentinal tissue and loosening of fibre posts”. Acteon note in their brochure that, because of its very sharp point, it must be handled with care, with visual aids recommended.

›  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.
