Posterior Tip

The posterior tip improves patient comfort and provides better access when scanning tight spaces due to its short 14mm tip height. The
posterior tip is not for general scanning; rather, it should be used for specific regions in the mouth, such as distal molar surfaces, and for patients with limited bite openings, trauma, or TMJ. It also improves access to subgingival areas of the preparation.

The posterior tip is approximately the size of a turbine head without the bur in place. Most clinicians perform the initial scan with the
standard or side-oriented tip and then change to the posterior tip to scan more challenging regions of interest.
