There are several benefits to having your teeth cleaned with an ultrasonic scaler….here are few.
(1) more efficient removal of dental plaque (as known as Biofilm) and calculus with ultrasonic instrumentation
(2) decreased treatment time, especially with heavy deposits
(3) ultrasonic tip spray promotes elimination of dental plaque/Biofilm
(4) ultrasonic instruments rid the radicular surfaces (pockets) of bacterial endotoxins while preserving the cementum
(5) less tissue trauma due to no sharp cutting edges
(6) water provides continuous tissue lavage, thereby reducing the need for rinsing during scaling, since the water flow allows for high visibility throughout the procedure; this lavage also increases tissue comfort for the patient during and after the procedure
(7) antiseptic solution can be substituted for the water to provide simultaneous irrigation/disinfection of the region being treated
(8) excellent for stain removal that may otherwise be tedious to scale by hand
