For which condition is a Standard Universal #10 ultrasonic tip best indicated?

The Standard Universal #10 ultrasonic tip is specifically designed to address heavy calculus deposits efficiently. Its robust design and larger surface area make it ideal for removing significant build-up of calculus, which typically occurs in patients with poor oral hygiene or with a history of periodontal issues. When dealing with heavy calculus, especially in pockets that are less than 4mm, this tip's effectiveness shines through, allowing for efficient removal without excessive tissue trauma.

While the other conditions listed might require different approaches or tools, they are not the optimal scenarios for utilizing a Standard Universal #10 ultrasonic tip. For example, lighter deposits or stains generally benefit from narrower or softer tips designed for a gentler approach. Similarly, pockets that are deeper or subgingival calculus might necessitate more specialized tips that can navigate tight spaces more effectively.
