Air Polishing and Ultrasonic Scaling

Many dentists and hygienists have been using ultrasonic scaling for some time now.

As well as being gentler on the gums and therefore easier for the patient to tolerate, ultrasonic scalers save time and remove hard plaque that hand scalers simply cannot. Similarly, air polishing is more comfortable and quicker than traditional scaling and does not cause postoperative sensitivity.

Research has shown that air polishing is approximately one-third as time-consuming as hand instrumentation and rubber cup polishing. The same study found that using an air polisher can reduce fatigue because there is no need to apply pressure across dozens of surfaces, unlike with a rubber cup polisher.

One of the latest advances in scale and polish is a unit that combines both technologies into one. The UC500L Scaler and Air Polisher from BA International is an example of this and has been built with functionality that provides an ultra-modern approach for prevention, cleaning and minimally invasive prophylaxis treatments.
