Which of the following describes the power (amplitude) of ultrasonic energy?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A clinician who adjusts the power is affecting the length of the stroke itself. Increasing the power setting increases the distance the working end moves. The distance the working end travels in the single vibration is called tip displacement. Power, or the power knob, is not related to the volume of water. The water knob adjusts the flow of water. How fast the stroke moves describes the frequency. Stroke speed across the tooth is controlled by the clinician and not the mechanized instrument. The direction of the stroke, once the working end is loaded onto the tooth appears to be elliptical in both types of ultrasonic units.
