The Evolution of Satelec: A Legacy of Innovation
Satelec’s history is intrinsically linked to the advancement of piezoelectric ultrasonic technology in dentistry. This timeline reflects the brand’s enduring commitment to R&D and product evolution.
The Foundation (1970s - 1980s)
Focusing early on piezoelectric applications, Satelec prioritized technology that offered better control with less heat generation. The strategic merger with Pierre Rolland in the 80s created a robust infrastructure, combining equipment manufacturing with pharmaceutical supplies to support future development.
Technological Breakthroughs (1990s - 2000s)
This era marked the launch of Satelec’s defining technologies. The introduction of NEWTRON® brought linear vibrations and smart power feedback to periodontal treatments, aiming to enhance efficiency and patient comfort. Concurrently, Piezotome® expanded these capabilities into oral surgery, featuring “selective cutting” engineering designed to significantly improve safety during delicate procedures.
Global Expansion (2003 - Present)
In 2003, the parent group rebranded as Acteon®, establishing Satelec as its specialized equipment division. Leveraging Acteon’s global network and R&D resources, Satelec products are now integrated into clinical practices across the globe.
Core Technologies & Engineering Philosophy
Satelec’s engineering is guided by a clear objective: to enhance clinical precision, streamline workflows, and support minimally invasive protocols. These principles are realized through three proprietary technologies.
NEWTRON® Piezo-Ultrasonic Technology
The foundation of Satelec’s non-surgical range features a smart feedback module that regulates tip vibration in real-time. Its tips move in a strictly linear path, a design intended to reduce impact on enamel and improve patient comfort. Additionally, the proprietary Cruise Control™ system automatically adjusts power based on resistance, perfectly balancing cleaning efficiency with tissue preservation.

Selective Cutting Technology
Featured in the Piezotome® surgical series, this technology utilizes the differential effect of piezoelectric frequencies on tissues. High-frequency micro-vibrations are tuned to cut mineralized structures like bone effectively, while the cutting action ceases upon contact with elastic soft tissues such as nerves and vessels. This physical characteristic is applied to enhance safety in delicate surgeries.

Color Coding System (CCS)
A standardized guidance system for Satelec’s extensive range of tips. Tips are color-coded by application, corresponding to specific power bands on the device. This operational guide ensures tips are used within their optimal parameters, designed to maintain performance and minimize the risk of misuse.
Product Families: A Solution for Every Indication
Satelec’s portfolio is structured to meet diverse clinical demands. From routine hygiene to advanced bone surgery, each series is engineered with specific technologies to optimize treatment outcomes.
NEWTRON® Series: Ultrasonic Scaling & Periodontics
The cornerstone of Satelec’s non-surgical range, designed for versatility across scaling, root planing, periodontal maintenance, endodontics, and prosthetic preparation. Powered by patented NEWTRON® technology, these units deliver stable, controlled ultrasonic vibrations for precise treatments. Representative models include the P5 XS and Newtron P5, making this series ideal for general practitioners seeking a multi-purpose ultrasonic unit.

Piezotome® Series: Ultrasonic Bone Surgery
Dedicated exclusively to oral and pre-implant surgery, this series covers complex extractions, bone grafting, sinus lifts, and ridge splitting. Utilizing selective cutting technology, Piezotome® devices are engineered to cut mineralized bone precisely while preserving surrounding soft tissues such as nerves, membranes, and arteries, thereby enhancing safety in delicate procedures. The flagship model representing this series is the Piezotome® Cube.
