The document discusses ultrasonic scalers, including their definition, types, parts, differences from manual scalers, advantages, disadvantages, and tips. Ultrasonic scalers use high-frequency vibrations to remove plaque, calculus, and inflamed tissue from teeth and gums. There are two main types - piezoelectric and magnetostrictive. Key parts include the handpiece, cable, water control, power switch, and tips. Ultrasonic scalers are more efficient than manual scalers at removing calculus, require less space, and reduce treatment time and operator fatigue. However, they require water evacuation and can produce contaminated aerosols. The document also outlines four common types of ultrasonic

- 1. ULTRASONIC SCALER Presented By: Lethane Sakiwat • Definition & Use • Types & Parts • Difference of Manual Scaler & Ultrasonic Scaler • Advantages And Disadvantages • 4 Ultrasonic Insert/ Tip
- 2. DENTAL ASSISTING an ultrasonic instrument with a tip for supplying high-frequency vibrations used to remove plaque and calculus from teeth and bits of inflamed tissue from the walls of the gingival crevice.
- 3. 2. Piezoelectric - vibration is linear- two sides of tip are active DENTAL ASSISTING 1. Magnetostrictive - pattern of vibration is elliptical- all sides of the tip are active
- 4. Hand piece Cable Water Speed Control Power Switch Ultrasonic Inserts/ Tips Power Control / Variable Speed Control DENTAL ASSISTING Hand piece
- 5. Manual Scaler Ultrasonic Scaler Safety Face Mask, Gloves Face Mask, Gloves, Safety Glasses (for high Frequency Oscillating instrument) Irrigation Medium/ Coolant Antimicrobial Irrigants e.g. Chlorhexidine, Iodine Solution Water Traction More space Less space Less Efficient More Efficient Longer Lesser Calculus Removal on Multi-rooted-teeth a. Efficiency b. Treatment Time DIFFERENCE OF MANUAL SCALER & ULTRASONIC SCALER Difference
- 7. DENTAL ASSISTING a. Blade or Nib b. Shank c. Handle
- 8. Sharpening not required Easier to debride inaccessible furcations Less tissue distention Reduce operator fatigue ADVANTAGES
- 9. Water control Evacuation needed Production of contaminated aerosols Potential occupational hazard (noise/vibration) Requires power supply DISADVANTAGES

- 20. DENTAL ASSISTING Debride / Debridement – refers to the necessary palque calculus that have accumulated on the teeth. Distention – to swell out/ expand from or as of from internal pressure Furcation – the anatomical area of a multi-rooted tooth where the roots devide Tenacious – hard to remove Traction – a pulling force exerted on a skeletal structure (tooth) by means of a special device or apparatus
