Description
The DF-3, also known as the "Flat Beavertail" insert, is a 25kHz ultrasonic tip specifically engineered for supra-gingival scaling. The flat, thin blade-like tip is highly effective at "knocking off" large, tenacious deposits of calculus and heavy tobacco or food stains. This insert is part of the classic Cavitron series and is recognized for its durability and consistent performance in demanding clinical situations.
