Both 25K and 30K ultrasonic inserts remove debris from tooth surfaces, but there are a few key differences between the two. 25K ultrasonic inserts have a longer stack length and a longer handle. They also have a lower tip vibration of 25,000 cycles per second. 30K ultrasonic inserts have a shorter stack length and shorter handle. They have a high tip vibration of 30,000 cycles per second. Whether you should use 30K ultrasonic inserts depends on the instrument you are using. However, 30K inserts are growing in popularity as most automatically tuned machines use these inserts over 25K inserts.

Yes, you should use ultrasonic scalers and their various available inserts at your dental practice for many reasons. Ultrasonic inserts can easily remove biofilm, light, moderate and even the most tenacious deposit. And with the different types of ultrasonic tips available, you can accomplish different tasks by leveraging their unique design and purpose. For example, slimmer tips can be used to access areas between orthodontic appliances, while others are used just for removing easily accessible deposits.

Patients also typically find that ultrasonic scalers are more comfortable than hand scalers. Ultrasonic scalers work faster and more efficiently than hand scaling, and they are more ergonomically sound. Using an ultrasonic scaler is beneficial in most cases, except on patients with a cardiac pacemaker.

There are various types of 30K ultrasonic scaler options available on the Net32 dental marketplace. It is important to take into consideration how these different types work so that you can make the best selection for your dental practice.

Net32 carries a range of ultrasonic scalers with different tips, such as: a universal tip, right tip, left tip, Burnett tip, and more. Right and left tips are best for scaling posterior teeth, furcations, and malpositioned teeth. A Burnett tip is designed to remove heavy stains and calculus, while a universal insert tip is designed to remove moderate to heavy supragingival deposits.

You should replace ultrasonic inserts as soon as you notice they start to wear. Not replacing them soon enough could impact dental instrument performance and results.
