What is the best way to become proficient with the X-Tip intraosseous anesthesia system?
The most difficult aspect of learning to use the X-Tip is drilling a hole in the bone the very first time. It is normal to be apprehensive at first, but after one or two successful uses, you will begin to look forward to predictable, instant and profound anesthesia. It is very important to use a gentle “pecking” motion while running the slow-speed handpiece to efficiently penetrate the cortical plate of bone.
