Abstract
Vibratory tip () including a body () having a first end () adapted to be mechanically coupled rigidly with a surgical handpiece () generating vibrations and a second end to which there is fixed a tool holder () intended to reproduce the vibrations transmitted by the handpiece. The tip furthermore includes a tool () with a working area (). The tool () is freely rotatably mounted relative to the tool holder (), which allows the tool to adjust itself automatically in order to remain in contact with the tooth and position the working area on the entire periphery of the tooth with a single tip. The tool preferably includes two working areas to improve keeping and guiding the tool on the surface of the tooth to be treated.
