The Woodpecker PT Master 5 piezo handpiece is also wider and therefore more ergonomically designed than the thinner magnetostrictive Cavitron®-style handpiece. This is not an issue for the PT Master 5 piezo scaler. Metal stacks on magnetostrictive inserts can be easily bent, which could impair vibration and overall function. The piezo scalers can also be used on all patients with pacemakers, whereas magnetostrictive (Cavitron ®-style) scalers may not. The are more comfortable for patients with breathing conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Piezo scalers require less water to control heat. If you are still using 1970’s era Cavitron ®-style magnetostrictive technology for scaling, you are missing out on all these advantages of an evolved Piezo Ultrasonic Scaler:Īdvantages of Woodpecker PT Master 5 Piezo Ultrasonic Scaling Technology: It includes the P90 thermoplastic polymer scaler tip for cleaning implants and abutments. This incredible piezo ultrasonic scaler will turn your patients into advocates, promoters, and loyal followers of your practice. Now you can have effective plaque and calculus removal with minimal discomfort. The Woodpecker PT Master 5 is the most interesting periodontal treatment device on the market today.Ĭavitron®-style (magnetostrictive) scalers are underpowered for calculus removal and can cause sensitivity when used on exposed dentin.
