Abstract: The present invention relates to a microprocessor-controlled ultrasonic control apparatus used to sweep a range of operating frequencies and to identify, store and tune to the resonant frequency of a magnetostrictively driven handpiece. This allows the user to change tip systems as desired and the device is not limited to a preset or switch selectable frequency. The unit automatically finds and adjusts to the frequency which corresponds to the resonant acoustic frequency of the magnetostrictive coil insert tip system.

Abstract: A three-part ultrasonic dental insert and replacement system used in a handpiece having an induction coil disposed about a well and operably connected to power supply. The three parts include a magnetostrictive element, a velocity transducer and a tip. The magnetostrictive element has a crown at one end which is releasably attached to a distal end of the velocity transducer. The tip is releasably attached to a proximal end of the velocity transducer. The insert can comprise a set of interchangeable tips wherein the velocity transducer and the tips are ultrasonically operable with the coil and the magnetostrictive element. The three-part replacement system comprises a set of the magnetostrictive coils and a set of the velocity transducer elements, as well as the interchangeable tips. The velocity transducer and tip sets include a plurality of transducer-tip combinations ultrasonically operable at the ultrasonic frequencies of the magnetostrictive elements.
