From routine cleanings or complex procedures, handpieces are used daily in every dental practice. The handpieces you choose will affect the quality of patient care you can offer.
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.

The UC500L from BA International integrates the latest ultrasonic and air polishing technologies into a single unit, helping clinicians efficiently eliminate biofilm while reducing the need for manual and mechanical instrumentation.
The unit has been designed to make scale and polish treatments easier and more efficient for clinicians while providing a more comfortable experience for patients.
