S-Seriestips havetwoflats Flats
- S-Series and E-Series Tips have different threading in their
base to match the threading of the generator handpieces they are
compatible with.
-
- S-Series Tips are compatible with Symmetry IQ as well as
Satelec and NSK units.
-
- E-Series Tips are compatible with EMS units, and
arenotcompatible with the Symmetry IQ.
- Use of E-Series tips in the Symmetry IQ handpiece may result in
damage to the handpiece threading or tip threading.
- How to differentiate S-Series from E-Series Tips:
-
- Each Guardian Wrench indicates whether the tip is S-Series or
E-Series.
-
- Number of flats on the Tip base
5. Guardian Wrench Tip Carrier
- Each Symmetry Tip is accompanied by a Sterilizable Guardian
Wrench.
- Easy Color-coded for simple identification of primary power
mode.
- Safe Functions as Tip Carrier to protect the tip from damage,
and protects the clinician from injury.
- Convenient Torque-limiting Wrench with audible click when
securely attached to handpiece.
- Does your office use only a Statim 2000 Sterilizer? Hu-Friedy
also offers shorter Guardian Wrenches that are compatible with this
sterilizer. Please contact Hu-Friedy Customer Care for
details.
Wrench color (Green) indicates primary power mode for the
attached tip. Wrench color (Blue) indicates primary power mode for
the attached tip. 6. Symmetry S10 Universal Tip

- S-Series Symmetry IQ Recommended Power Modes:
S-Series: USP3 E-Series*: UEP3 *Cannotbe used in Symmetry IQ
units 11. Symmetry #3 Perio Tip
- Clinicians love this tip because it looks and functions like
their bladed hand instruments.
- It is durable and strong forheavy deposit removal, but can be
powered down for light debridement, stain removal and universal
access.
Exercise caution when using bladed and diamond-coated tips, as
over-instrumentation may lead to excessive root surface removal.
12. P Universal Tip S-Series: USP E-Series*: UEP *Cannotbe used in
Symmetry IQ units

deposits located supragingivally and in pockets
- S-Series Symmetry IQ Recommended Power Modes:
13. P Universal Tip
- Clinicians love this tip because it is more than just an
initial debridement tip.
- The perio length and durable dimensions also make it an ideal
choice for removing heavy deposits in deeper pockets.
14. P10 Universal Tip
- Symmetry P10 Universal Tip
-
- Light deposits and plaque
- S-Series Symmetry IQ Recommended Power Modes:
S-Series: USP10 E-Series:not available 15. P10 Universal Tip

- In tandem with a general debridement tip such as the P
Universal, this right, left and straight instrument set is ideal
for complex root morphology such as furcations and
concavities.

- Symmetry IQ Recommended Power Modes:
S-Series: US4R and US4L E-Series: Not available 22. Symmetry
Right and Left Perio Tips The Right and Left curved Perio Tips are
used to remove calculus on all surfaces of premolars and molars,
especially difficult to reach interproximal surfaces. Left Perio
Tip Right Perio Tip Exercise caution when using bladed and
diamond-coated tips, as over-instrumentation may lead to excessive
root surface removal. 23. Straight Diamond-Coated Tip

- S-Series Symmetry IQ Recommended Power Modes:
S-Series: US1DE-Series*: UE1D *Cannotbe used in Symmetry IQ
units 24. Straight Diamond-Coated Tip
- Clinicians use this universal diamond-coated tip as a fine
finishing instrument to remove residual embedded calculus and to
smooth roughened cementum surfaces.
Exercise caution when using bladed and diamond-coated tips, as
over-instrumentation may lead to excessive root surface removal.
25. Right and Left Diamond-Coated Tips
- Right and Left Diamond-Coated
S-Series: US2LD and US2RD E-Series*: UE2LD and UE2RD *Cannotbe
used in Symmetry IQ units 26. Right and Left Diamond-Coated
Tips
- Clinicians use these tips as finishing instruments for complex
anatomical features such as furcations and root concavities.
- Right and left curved, thin diamond tips are also great for
finishing and smoothing the coronal aspect of interradicular
surfaces.
Diamond-Coated Left Diamond-Coated Right Exercise caution when
using bladed and diamond-coated tips, as over-instrumentation may
lead to excessive root surface removal. 27. Assess the Effect of
Tip Wear
- Scaling efficiency is significantly diminished with worn insert
tips, requiring greater effort and time to achieve desired
results.
- Worn, damaged, bent or altered tips can cause inferior
performance and poor water delivery.
- For optimal scaling efficiency, check tips regularly for signs
of wear using the Tip Wear Guide provided with the Symmetry IQ
unit.
-
-
- 1mm loss can result in 25% efficiency loss (indicated by blue
line)
-
-
- 2mm loss can result in 50% efficiency loss (indicated by red
line)
