Each different dental material cuts different with the CVDentus tips. The following symbols are used: (+) slow cut, (+ +) medium cut, (+++) fast cut, (x) does not cut, (xx) do not use.

·Healthy enamel (+). The relatively slow cutting of healthy enamel allows to preserve healthy structures.

·Carious and de-mineralized enamel (+++). The removal is very fast and efficient.

·Healthy dentine (+ +). Cuts with certain easiness.

·Carious dentine (+++). The removal is fast and efficient.

·Soft dentine (x). The vibration of the CVDentus tips is cushioned in the soft material. If it is possible to cut close to the hard dentine wall, the soft dentine can be removed with efficiency. If its volume is large it is more efficient to remove with traditional methods, for example with one curette.

·Soft tissues (x). It does not cut to the gingiva or papilla. It allows sub-gingival preparations and removal of restoration excess on the gingiva and papilla.

·Composed resin (+++). Cuts slowly but the removal is efficient because, in the majority of the cases, the restoration is released due to vibration. The substitution of restorations preserves the existing cavity, with low risk to widen it.

·Amalgam (+ +). The direct cut is slow, but by cutting in specific places to reduce the mechanical structure, the amalgam is gotten loose due to vibration. Small or shallow restorations realease with easiness.

·Provisory cement (+++). Cuts with great easiness, without risk of widening the cavity.

·Ceramic Prosthesis (xx). Cuts slowly and damages the CVDentus tips.

·Bones (+++). The efficient cut of bones allows the use in buccal surgeries.
