Dia-Ultrasonic Gets to the Root of Cleaning

One of the most important aspects of end­odontic treatment is canal cleaning and debridement—a step that’s often challeng­ing due to the complex anatomy of root canals, such as curves, narrow passages, and irregular shapes. But without proper debridement, even the smooth­est procedures may ultimately fail.

For Alan Sedell, DMD, an endodontist in Peoria, AZ, using DiaDent’s Dia-Ultrasonic activator makes it easy to tackle this essential step. “It’s quick and easy to use without any extra effort or other instrumenta­tion,” he said. “It helps get into the nooks and cran­nies of a canal, and it can give clinicians a little more assurance that they are doing whatever they can to get the canal as clean as possible.”

Trouble-Free Root Canal Access

The Dia-Ultrasonic is a compact, cordless hand­held device designed to significantly enhance debridement. Its 2 ultrasonic frequency ranges (low frequency: 30-32 kHz/30,000- 32,000 Hz, and high frequency: 35-45 kHz/35,000-45,000 Hz) create acoustical streaming and cavitation, eliminating vapor lock while cleaning, penetrating, and irrigating root canals with greater precision than single-frequency devices.

Quiet & Easy to Use

“It seems to get the job done without much trouble at all,” Dr. Sedell assured. “It is also easy to get used to ergonomically.” Combined with its convenient portability, the Dia-Ultrasonic operates quietly with minimal vibration.

Dr. Sedell especially appreciates Dia-Ultrasonic’s flexible, fracture-resistant NiTi tips. “They are angled in a way that makes it easy to safely access most canals smoothly,” he said. “Sometimes, I can get the tip into the canal easier than I can with rotary files.”

Always Ready for Endo Activation

Furthermore, the Dia-Ultrasonic has a powerful, 2,750 mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery, which can last up to 500 cycles per charge, with a full charge taking only 3.5 hours.

“It holds a charge for a tremendous amount of time,” Dr. Sedell said. “I’ve gone weeks without hav­ing to recharge it, and you don’t have to leave it on the charger all the time, either. The Dia-Ultrasonic has seamlessly integrated into my workflow for every case that I’ve used it in so far.”
