DR. CASTELLUCCI'S A-C TIPS ULTRASONIC TIP

Ultrasonic tips for endodontics used for finishing the access cavity represent an advanced solution for modern dentistry, focused on minimal invasiveness and maximum precision during the opening and finishing of the pulp chamber.

FEATURES:

- Ultrasonic tips designed for general dentists and Endodontic Specialists;

- The working part is characterized by high-precision micro-blades for optimal cutting control;

- All tips have a 110° angle between the handpiece attachment and the working part for optimal visual control;

- Made of uncoated steel alloy for greater wear resistance;

- Equipped with a water port

- Compatible with EMS and SATELEC systems

- A-C Tips allow for the creation of perfect and safe access. Each tip has been designed for a specific application (more details in the brochure in the download area).

A-C TIP #51 finishing the walls of the access cavity
This tip was designed to finish the access cavity of premolars and molars. It has a frustoconical shape. The working part is 12 mm long, the tip has a diameter of 0.8 mm, the maximum diameter of the insert at the end of the working part is 1.6 mm. The tip of the insert is not active, so we can compare it to a Batt bur or an Endo Z.
The A-C Tip #51 can be used up to approximately 80-90% of the maximum power achievable with the ultrasonic sources dedicated to endodontics currently available on the market.

A-C TIP #52: locating the mesio-palatal canal
Based on the latest scientific studies, the maxillary first molar should be considered a tooth with 4 canals. The use of the A-C Tip #52 allows us to simultaneously eliminate dentin overhang and part of the initial sharp coronal curvature. The MB2 orifice is thus transferred to the pulp chamber floor, allowing straight-line access to the canal. This allows clear visualization of the canal orifice and subsequent probing without problematic coronal interferences.
The A-C Tip #52 has a frustoconical shape. The working part is 8 mm long, the tip has a diameter of 1 mm, the maximum diameter of the insert at the end of the working part is 1.54 mm. The tip of the insert is active.
The A-C Tip #52 can be used up to approximately 80-90% of the maximum power achievable with the ultrasonic sources dedicated to endodontics currently available on the market.

A-C TIP #53: removal of canal calcifications and fiber posts
The removal of calcifications from the pulp chamber and the entrance of root canals is crucial for locating all canal orifices, probing root canals without interference, and preventing a mobilized calcification from falling into a canal and blocking it during instrumentation.
The A-C Tip #53 is a thin and long but extremely resistant tip. It has a slightly frustoconical shape. The working part is 8 mm long, the tip is extremely pointed, the maximum diameter of the insert at the end of the working part is 0.9 mm. The small dimensions of the tip allow for extremely precise work and excellent visibility. The operator can thus perform selective work, removing only pathological calcifications and not healthy dentinal tissue. The result will be a truly minimally invasive approach without alterations to the endodontic anatomy.
The second indication for the use of the A-C Tip #53 is the removal of endodontic fiber posts during endodontic retreatment. The tip can also be used at high vibration powers without risks. It is thus possible to destroy a fiber post in a few minutes without fracturing the ultrasonic tip, as often happened in the past.
The A-C Tip #53 can be used up to approximately 60-70% of the maximum power achievable with the ultrasonic sources dedicated to endodontics currently available on the market.

A-C TIP ED54: removal of metal posts
The A-C Tip #54 is a bladeless insert designed to transfer energetic vibrations where the tip is applied. Its main indication is indeed the decementation of metal posts.
The insert has a rhomboidal ball at its end that we can almost compare in shape to a rugby ball. This particular shape of the extremity differentiates it from previous ultrasonic tips dedicated to the same use currently on the market. Analyzing the tip, we can identify two active surfaces: the equator of the rugby ball and its flat side surfaces.
The equator of the rugby ball allows for an almost point-like support on the surface where it works: the result is a very powerful vibration that is transferred to the post. The use of this decementation method is particularly indicated for core posts or prefabricated metal posts that are very resistant to wear (steel alloys, titanium, etc.) where the consistency of the metal alloy does not allow the post to be worn away by ultrasound.
The flat side surfaces, on the other hand, allow for the transfer of a slightly gentler but equally efficient vibration. The use of this decementation method is particularly indicated for posts made with a metal that is not particularly consistent. In this case, we do not risk wearing out the post with the action of ultrasound before removing it.
The A-C Tip #54 can be used up to approximately 90-100% of the maximum power achievable with the ultrasonic sources dedicated to endodontics currently available on the market.

A-C TIP ED55: finishing the pulp chamber floor
The A-C Tip #55 was designed to finish the pulp chamber floor (It can therefore be used to eliminate chamber calcifications before starting the shaping of root canals or, in endodontic retreatments, it can be used to eliminate old restorative materials or endodontic cements before starting to probe the canals.
The A-C Tip #55 has a cylindrical working part 10 mm long. The diameter is 1 mm. The active end of the tip is very interesting. It has a concave shape to better adapt to the convexity of the pulp chamber floor and is equipped with micro-pyramids that make it particularly aggressive.
The tip is very thin (1 mm diameter) and this allows for precise work and excellent visibility. The lateral working part, equipped with micro-blades, allows the operator to reposition and refine the walls of the pulp chamber as the work on the floor progresses.
The A-C Tip #55 can be used up to approximately 70-80% of the maximum power achievable with the ultrasonic sources dedicated to endodontics currently available on the market.
