When ET20 is not enough. ET20D is the diamond-coated version of Acteon’s coronal retreatment tip. Acteon’s tip sheet gives its use as “the removal of very hard materials in the first crown third”, and their brochure adds that it works by brushing the walls, with the diamond coating increasing the cutting and lateral abrasion effect.

› 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.
