CHICAGO, Ilinois--In order to best meet the differing requirements of the global customer, Hu-Friedy has announced the addition of the new Symmetry IQ Piezoelectric scaling device to its already comprehensive array of customer-focused hand and power scaling products.

Symmetry IQ has been designed to shorten patient chair time and lengthen practitioner careers by delivering superior performance and efficiency. Its state-of-the-art circuitry, touchpad controls, and compact design improve practice productivity while its large-diameter lightweight hand-piece featuring fiberoptic illumination delivers unsurpassed ergonomics.

In addition, Hu-Friedy, a leading provider of periodontal instrumentation, offers a broad range of Symmetry Piezo tip designs to meet clinical needs. They include scaling, thin perio, curette style, and diamond-coated.

S-Series tips are compatible with the new Hu-Friedy Symmetry IQ power scaling device as well as all Satelec and NSK generators. E-Series tips are compatible with all EMS generators.

Regional power scaling preferences vary greatly by market. For instance, most North American clinicians strongly prefer the magnetostrictive technology, while European clinicians generally favor piezo devices.

Research, however, indicates that both technologies allow clinicians to achieve similar clinical outcomes, which supports Hu-Friedy's decision to offer both technologies. This allows the clinician to choose the technology that most closely meets their needs.
