Who it may suit
- Practices that want scaling and air polishing in one console and already use, or are open to, the Newtron tip range (Acteon says existing Newtron tips are compatible).
- Hygiene rooms that prefer pre-filled, sealed powder bottles to refillable powder chambers.
- Practices that already own a scaler and only need an air polisher may find a handpiece system or a standalone air-polishing unit cheaper.
