Claim 0:
1. An ultrasonic dental scaling system, comprising:
an ultrasonic device comprising a power scaler handpiece and a tip, wherein the ultrasonic device is connected to a signal conditioner of a universal ultrasonic generator unit, wherein the ultrasonic device is selected from:
a piezoelectric ultrasonic device operable on capacitance and comprising a piezoelectric device cable for connecting the ultrasonic device to the signal conditioner; and
a magnetostrictive ultrasonic device operable on inductance and comprising a magnetostrictive device cable for connecting the ultrasonic device to the signal conditioner;

the signal conditioner comprising a piezoelectric mode circuit to drive the piezoelectric ultrasonic device when connected to the universal ultrasonic generator unit and further comprising a magnetostrictive mode circuit to drive the magnetostrictive ultrasonic device when connected to the universal ultrasonic generator unit;
wherein the piezoelectric device cable comprises a piezoelectric device passive activation plug to selectively activate the piezoelectric mode circuit when the piezoelectric ultrasonic device is connected, and wherein the magnetostrictive device cable comprises a magnetostrictive device passive activation plug to selectively activate the magnetostrictive mode circuit when the magnetostrictive ultrasonic device is connected.
