## Intended Use

The intended use of the Ultrasonic Tips with Diamond Coating is for endodontic root preparation procedures which includes retro-prep of root ends in order to make space for permanent filling material in the canal.

## Device Story

Ultrasonic Tips with Diamond Coating are dental instruments used in endodontic root preparation. The device consists of stainless steel tips coated with fine diamond particles. During endodontic procedures, the tips are attached to an ultrasonic handpiece (not included) to perform retro-prep of root ends, creating space for permanent filling materials. The device is used by dental professionals in a clinical setting. The diamond coating enhances the cutting efficiency of the ultrasonic tip during the preparation of the root canal space. By facilitating precise root end preparation, the device assists the clinician in preparing the canal for subsequent filling, ultimately supporting successful endodontic treatment.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Stainless steel with a layer of fine diamond particles. Form factor: Ultrasonic tips for endodontic handpieces. Energy source: Ultrasonic vibration (via external handpiece).

## Regulatory Identification

An ultrasonic scaler is a device intended for use during dental cleaning and periodontal (gum) therapy to remove calculus deposits from teeth by application of an ultrasonic vibrating scaler tip to the teeth.
