Symmetry IQ™ Multi-functional Piezo Device from Hu-Friedy — If you were to design a new scaling handpiece, I think you’d be hard pressed to come up with a more comfortable design than the one from Hu-Friedy. Its large-diameter handpiece keeps my hand relaxed, so I avoid the kind of muscle strain and hand fatigue that I often experience when holding a handpiece. It also has a fiberoptic light source so I can see what I’m doing. Now, combine these great benefits with piezoelectric technology and you’re holding a scaler that’s a winner! My hygienists have been using piezoelectric scalers for more than 15 years and they’d never switch. When I gave them the Symmetry IQ to evaluate, they were thrilled with the truly user-friendly touch-pad controls that have three color-coded, predefined power settings for a variety of scaling procedures. The unit has a smooth, easy-to-clean surface that makes infection control easy. Of course, Hu-Friedy has designed an IMS™ cassette specifically for the Symmetry IQ handpiece that is available for double or single handpieces.
Now add to all of this the 100-year experience of Hu-Friedy designing and making scaling tips — and you have the Symmetry S-Series Piezo Tips. They also offer a comprehensive group of tip designs that are made to work with the Symmetry IQ generator. Included are a universal, standard-diameter tip for removing heavy supragingival deposits, a thin perio tip, a curette-style tip, and a diamond-coated tip for removal of residual debris. Last but certainly not least, the Symmetry Piezo Tips come with the patented Guardian™ Tip Carrier, which is a great torque-limiting wrench designed for safe and easy connection of the tip to the handpiece. The bottom line is that my hygienists gave this piezoelectric unit high marks as a great device — and they definitely want one!
