ultrasonic scaler Application Experience

Ultrasonic Scaler is the use of a frequency of 20Hz or more ultrasonic vibration for scaling and scaling tartar, plaque dental medical instruments, and compared to traditional manual dental equipments cleaning teeth, with high efficiency, speed, trauma, less bleeding , saving time, effort, etc.. Also its simple, does not require rigorous training, and good economic benefits, has been widely used oral clinical. I applied for many years, we found that the use of ultrasonic scaler there are many problems, are summarized below.

A disinfection problem

Clinically now mostly for cleaning teeth dental care, teeth cleaning when infection if other diseases, is worth the candle. It is suggested that a conditional selection handles medical units, working head can temperature, high pressure sterilization scaler to ensure that no cross-infection between patients.

Two did not conduct systematic training

Use Scaler, should carefully read the instructions, in strict accordance with the user guide for installation, operation. According to the author of 30 dentists survey, only eight simple read instructions, they think scaler simple operation, without read the instructions, and in most cases by the nurse or advanced students, interns to do this work. Because of the scaler operating environment, operating conventional understanding is unclear, easy to damage the machine, but also easy injury patients teeth.

Three operations are not standardized

In clinical work, often encounter patients questioned ultrasonic scaler, ultrasonic scaler they believe will damage teeth, because they are direct or indirect information is ultrasonic scaler pain, sore teeth, some people will last a long time, In addition to the patient's own reasons, but also with doctors improper operation, such as the output power is too large, the working head too much pressure and so on. Correct operation should be: in the Scaler work before lowering power transfer dental burs large amount of water; water ejected from the working head, according to the working head using different transfer power to an appropriate value. Average output power should not exceed half of its maximum power, special circumstances need to increase the power, try to shorten the operation time, otherwise easily damage the teeth, but also easy to damage the work tool and transducer. Regulation of water right after the output power should be carefully adjusted so that the mist reaches 35ml/min so. At this point, you can begin work, the working head on the tooth surface, tooth angle of 15 ° or so, to light, steady, clean teeth do not stop slight head movement, so that the working head stones in layers under the rapid vibrations exfoliation. Note that the operation fulcrum Qingwo equipment, appropriate force. If the contact with the tooth surface is easy to produce heat too tight, feeling sore tooth discomfort, general pressure to 700dyne appropriate.
