Question : What is the difference between ems and satelac tips ?
Answer: The main difference between EMS and Satelec ultrasonic tips lies in their thread standards. EMS-type tips use a metric thread (M3x0.5-3.5), while Satelec-type tips use an imperial thread (M3x0.6-3.6). This difference affects compatibility with specific scaler units, so ensure correct tip-thread matching.

Question : Can these ultrasonic tips can be used with normal woodpecker ultrasonic scalers or you need to have scalers with endo modes ?
