Traditional metal ultrasonic irrigation tips are inflexible and brittle, prone to breaking during use. Pac-Dent's Peeksonic is made of a durable, flexible PEEK polymer that can navigate canal curves without damaging them. PeekSonic is also unaffected by ultrasonic power and has a low risk of breaking. It is compatible with various piezo ultrasonic devices, whether S or E types.

PeekSonic activation tip uses a vibration resonance pattern to clean canal areas unreachable by mechanical instruments. The 29KHz frequency creates sheer forces that remove debris, smear layer, and biofilm from dentin walls, improving canal cleaning and opening dentin tubules.

Advantages

● Small tip diameter (.25 mm) with a .02 taper allows navigating the canals even after minimally invasive preparations.
● PEEK polymer tip vibrates at a similar resonance as metal with higher resistance compared to stainless steel and NiTi tips
● Flexible, following the canal curvatures without compromising the vibration amplitude
● Easy and intuitive setup and operation
● Can be pre-bent for easier insertion in posterior teeth
● Low cost per procedure
● Adaptable to the majority of piezo ultrasonic devices (S and E) and final irrigation protocols

PeekSonic ultrasonic activation significantly accelerates the dissolution of pulp tissue during chemo-mechanical preparation. PeekSonic PUI accelerates pulp tissue dissolution by four times, while PeekSonic CUI accelerates it by eight times compared to non-activated sodium hypochlorite with the same concentration.

Product details

● Can be sterilized by autoclave
● 28mm length
● Tip diameter is 25, taper 0.2
● Package with four blisters with five tips each (20 per package)
● Reference # 952201
● This product requires the use of an iVac™ (S or E) connector

The PeekSonic activation tip uses the same connector as the iVac™. For piezoelectric devices type S, use the Pac-Dent's iVac S-type connector (REF#9542SC). For piezoelectric devices type E, use the Pac-Dent's iVac E-type connector (REF#9542EC).

Literature Summary

Various techniques have been developed to enhance the cleaning of the apical part of the root canal. These techniques usually involve activating the irrigant using acoustic and hydrodynamic methods. Syringe irrigation alone may not be sufficient, but combining solutions and utilizing ultrasonic agitation can significantly improve the effectiveness of the irrigant.
