The left-angled apical surgery tip for premolars and molars

Posterior access, left side. ASLD is the left-oriented tip in the Endo Success apical surgery range. The tip sheet describes a “diamond-coated left-angled tip for the retro-treatment of pre-molars and molars”, and Acteon’s brochure says it should be used with very light pressure.

›  Clean, disinfect and sterilise before each use, following Acteon’s cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation instructions for tips (J02001).
›  Replace at least once a year. Acteon: because a maximum number of uses cannot be set, tips in routine use should be “replaced at least once a year”, and sooner if the tip no longer vibrates as expected or treatment slows.
›  Watch the site for heat. Acteon’s tip sheets state that the practitioner has to continually monitor the clinical site to immediately identify any heating risk.
