The Swissfloat is the best instrument to float hooks on 311 and 411, gentle and fast. 

If space allows, you can place the shaft 

between the two arcades and float the 

hooks. If this is not possible due to the 

size of the hook, work your way to the 

hook from the lingual (medial) side. 

For hooks on 306 and 406, see bit seat

Bit Seat 

Bit seats are easily performed with the Swissfloat. 

Repeat the following procedure until the 

desired degree of floating is achieved: 

Hold the head on 306 and 406. Press the 

head down while pulling the shaft 

rostrally. Repeat the procedure until the 

desired result is reached. Perfect rounding 

of the teeth is achieved by placing the 

float diagonally and float from both sides 

as well. 

Be careful not opening a pulp cavity while 

doing the procedure.
