Power-driven instrumentation produces all of the following modes of action except:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ultrasonic instruments convert electrical energy to mechanized energy via a transducer that is part of the insert, not a transductor. Cavitation is the action created by the formation and collapse of bubbles in water by high-frequency sound waves surrounding a mechanized tip, resulting in lavage and irrigation. Mechanized action is the vibration of the working end that results in deposit removal. Acoustic microstreaming is the destruction or disruption of bacteria by the agitation of the fluids surrounding a rapidly vibrating power-driven tip. Atomization is produced and is the water flow that contacts the moving working end resulting in fine droplets and a fine spray.
