Indications for Use

combi touch incorporates, within a single device, the functions of an ultrasonic scaler and of an air-polishing prophylaxis unit. Ultrasonic scaler function: combi touch, by using the appropriate associated inserts and the ultrasonic handpiece, is intended for use in the following dental applications: - Removing supra and subgingival calculus deposits and stains from teeth - Periodontal therapy and debridement for all types of periodontal disease, including periodontal pocket lavage with simultaneous ultrasonic tip movement - Scaling and root planing - Releasing crowns, bridges, inlays, and posts as well as condensing gutta percha - Plugging for amalgam condensation - Amalgam burnishing - Preparing, cleaning and irrigating roots canals - Cavity preparation - Cleaning restorations and implant surfaces Air-polishing prophylaxis function: By using the appropriate air polishing handpiece, combi touch is intended for a complete supragingival and sub-gingival prophylaxis treatment. The prophylaxis treatment is obtained by the projection of water, air and appropriate dental prophylaxis powders, onto the tooth surface. The device removes dental plaque, soft deposits, and surface stains from pits, grooves, interproximal spaces, or smooth surfaces of teeth. combi touch is intended for the following oral prophylaxis procedures: - Plaque removal for placement of sealants. - Surface preparation prior to bonding/cementation of inlays, onlays, crowns and veneers - Surface preparation prior to placing composite restorations - Effective plaque and stain removal for orthodontic patients - Cleaning prior to bonding ortho brackets - Cleaning implant fixtures prior to loading - Stain removal for shade determination - Plaque removal prior to fluoride treatment - Plaque and stain removal prior to whitening procedures combi touch is also intended for use as an air-polisher in patients suffering from periodontal disease. combi touch is indicated for the non-surgical removal of subgingival plaque in pockets up to 5 mm after initial periodontal treatment.

Device Story

Combi Touch is a table-top dental device combining a piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler and an air-polishing prophylaxis unit. The scaler uses piezoceramic transducers to convert electrical signals into mechanical micro-vibrations of insert tips for calculus removal, periodontal debridement, and endodontic procedures. The air-polisher projects a mixture of compressed air, water, and dental prophylaxis powders (sodium bicarbonate or glycine) onto tooth surfaces to remove plaque and stains. The device features an automatic tuning circuit to maintain scaling efficiency despite tip wear. It is operated by dental professionals in a clinical setting using a foot pedal and console touch panel. The device connects to external water supplies or uses an integrated irrigation tank. Output is delivered via specialized handpieces (ultrasonic or air-polishing). The device benefits patients by providing comprehensive prophylaxis and periodontal maintenance in a single unit, reducing the need for multiple devices.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance testing verified effectiveness in plaque removal, surface morphology integrity, and erosion rates compared to the predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Piezoelectric ultrasonic technology (24-36 kHz); air-polishing via pressurized air/water/powder projection. Materials: stainless steel, diamond/titanium nitride coatings, PEEK, EVA, LPDE, Viton, PPSU, TPX. Connectivity: standalone table-top unit with foot pedal. Sterilization: steam autoclaving for reusable handpieces/tips; subgingival perio tips are sterile single-use. Software: embedded control system with automatic tuning.

Indications for Use

Indicated for dental patients requiring supra/subgingival calculus/stain removal, periodontal therapy/debridement, root planing, endodontic irrigation, cavity preparation, and restoration/implant cleaning. Also indicated for oral prophylaxis (plaque/stain removal) and non-surgical subgingival plaque removal in periodontal pockets up to 5 mm.

#### Device description 4.

The combi touch combines, in a single appliance, a multi-purpose piezoelectric scaler and water jet, air, and powder polisher, intended for complete supra- and subgingival dental prophylaxis.

In regards to the various possible ultrasonic treatments, combi touch can be used either connected directly to the main water supply in the dental practice, or with independent irrigation through the special liquid container, which can hold different types of medical solutions.

The appliance is equipped with an automatic tuning circuit which compensates the wear of the inserts, thus always allowing operation in conditions of maximum efficiency.

The operating principle of the polisher is based on the mechanical action obtained from a jet of various crystal types accelerated by a flow of compressed air. The kinetic energy thus imprinted at the particles, dissipates almost completely due to impact against the surface of the enamel, producing a gentle but effective cleaning action. The action is completed by a jet of water which, using the vacuum created around the air-polishing handpiece, has a bellshape around the main flow, thus producing a double effect: to prevent much of the rebound and the leakage of the cloud of powder and perform continuous washing of the treated area, dissolving the powder.
