STOCK - 6 490 rub. 4 490 rub.

Each of us wants to have an attractive snow-white smile. The appearance of teeth depends not only on their natural shade, but also on proper care. Over time, plaque collects on the teeth, which remains on the surface and, with insufficiently thorough oral hygiene, persists and accumulates. It can cause the formation of noticeable dark stones on the surface, which provoke the development of caries, periodontitis and other diseases. In order to prevent adverse effects, it is necessary to follow all the rules of oral hygiene daily.

Who needs cleaning

During the examination, the doctor can visually assess the surface of the enamel and, without special instruments, determine the presence of stones. There are cases when it is necessary to estimate the amount of plaque on the teeth by appearance. In such situations, special dyes in the form of tablets and solutions can be used. They stain the plaque in a bright color and clearly demonstrate the deposits on the teeth. Such drugs do not affect the color of the teeth, act for a short time and rarely cause adverse reactions. The occurrence of allergic reactions to the components of such funds is extremely rare.

Plaque stains may also be used when testing and counseling a patient's oral hygiene skills. Their use is possible in children from 6 years of age.

If the dentist finds stones on the enamel of the teeth, he recommends professional oral hygiene. This is due to the negative effect of deposits on the enamel, which becomes more and more over time.

At the moment, there are several types of dental plaque removal, but one of the most effective is ultrasonic cleaning. It allows you to gently remove stones from the surface of the teeth and quickly achieve the desired result.

Contraindications

• The main contraindication is the presence of inflammatory processes in the oral cavity. The procedure can provoke an exacerbation and traumatize inflamed tissues, contribute to the spread of the process and weaken the body's defenses.
• Respiratory diseases, asthma, bronchitis. Small particles crushed by ultrasound can enter the respiratory tract and provoke an attack.
• Acute phase of infectious diseases. During this period, the patient should not be exposed to any external influences.
• The presence of implants or prostheses. The contraindication is individually determined by the attending physician, usually cleaning is performed on all teeth, except for prosthetic ones.
• Installed pacemaker and the presence of rhythm disturbances. The ultrasonic waves that are generated to clear plaque are not able to significantly affect the functioning of the heart, however, such procedures should be limited to such patients in order to prevent cardiac arrest.
• Epilepsy. In this disease, physical influences can provoke seizures. The oral cavity is an extremely active reflexogenic zone; there are a lot of receptors here that transmit impulses to the brain. Their excess intake is the cause of exacerbations.

This list lists only a few contraindications, a complete list must be clarified with your doctor.

Pregnancy is not an absolute contraindication to ultrasonic cleaning, but this issue should be clarified individually.

Ultrasonic devices, principle of operation

In another way, cleaning devices are called "scalers". They are equipped with a special tip that can create high frequency vibrations. Wave action destroys tartar of any density and removes them from the surface. The scaler itself is thin, has a comfortable curve and does not come into contact with the tooth surface during cleaning. After exposure to ultrasound, the destroyed particles of stones are removed using a vacuum.

Ultrasonic scalers can be individually adjusted depending on the condition of the patient's teeth, which reduces the trauma of manipulation and increases its effectiveness. Stones have a different structure for each patient, and for their rapid removal, an individual selection of the characteristics of ultrasonic waves is required. The setting is available in all devices for ultrasonic cleaning and allows you to individually choose the approach to each patient. Also, professional cleaning with ultrasound is considered a local method and does not affect adjacent tissues.

Air flow cleaning

This modern technology is often used after ultrasonic cleaning, it allows you to gently remove soft plaque and deposits from the enamel in hard-to-reach places, for example, in the subgingival areas. In the process of cleaning under pressure, the surface of the teeth is irrigated with a mixture of water and air with the addition of various salts. Small particles of salts in the composition of the mixture gently polish the surface of the tooth and completely remove the remnants of plaque. The gentle air flow technique has only recently been introduced and has been a success since its inception. Its combination with ultrasonic cleaning effectively copes with deposits on any part of the teeth without consequences.

Is ultrasonic cleaning harmful?

Ultrasound cleaning performed by a professional in his field cannot harm the health of your teeth. However, there are cases when patients undergo this procedure too often and face thinning of the enamel and the appearance of cracks. There may also be high sensitivity to hot or cold, to the touch of a brush and to the impact of rough food. The recommended cleaning frequency is twice a year. More often, the procedure can be performed only if there are indications: an imbalance of mineral metabolism, changes in the viscosity of saliva, etc. The indications are determined by the dentist and constantly monitors the state of the enamel.

Positive aspects of ultrasonic cleaning

• Low trauma. The thin tip of the scaler acts locally only in the desired area and does not injure adjacent tissues.
• Painlessness. It is worth saying that painlessness in this case is relative. If the patient has sensitive gums, some areas may be painful when brushing. In this case, anesthesia is used.
• Short duration. The procedure takes less than 60 minutes, it directly depends on the amount of deposits on the teeth, but most often the professionalism of the doctor allows you to work quickly with any clinical cases.
• Affordable cost. The ultrasonic cleaning procedure takes less time than mechanical cleaning, is easier to implement and, therefore, has a lower price.
• High efficiency. This type of cleaning copes with the most serious pollution, it is enough just to set up the device correctly.
• At first, if possible, it is necessary to brush your teeth every time after eating, using a soft brush, as a hard brush can injure the gums with frequent brushing. The brush should be new, because the old one can have a large number of bacteria, which is better not to "populate" the oral cavity.
• Chocolate, red vegetables and fruits, wine and coffee should be excluded from food.
  The use of the above products can cause discoloration of the enamel and the appearance of stains. During the first two days, the enamel does not have a protective layer and is more exposed to various substances.
• Doctors recommend limiting yourself to smoking for two days. Thus, not only the appearance of the teeth will be preserved, but also their health.

Naturally, after brushing your teeth at the dentist, you must be attentive to your teeth and follow all the rules of care. If you experience unusual sensations, changes in the appearance of your teeth, you should contact your dentist. After all, any disease is easier to prevent than to treat.

A popular procedure in Dentalroott clinics is the removal of dental plaque by ultrasound. The ultrasonic scaler, vibrating, removes a stone, a plaque. The method is suitable for removing persistent formations. Tools, due to special sharpening, do not injure tissue. The popularity of the procedure is determined by the effectiveness and price.

About the procedure

Selected frequency, amplitude of oscillations affects the area where the dental tissue is separated from the stone. This allows:

• act without pain, harm;
• to separate a stone, other deposits, completely clearing a surface;
• restore the natural color of the enamel.

Purposes of ultrasonic cleaning:

• remove pigment plaque;
• remove the stone in the supragingival and subgingival areas;
• clean the enamel to establish the color (before restoration);
• clean before fluoride treatment (to protect enamel);
• clean the surface before bleaching;
• clean the heads of the implants.

Hygiene treatment includes the removal of soft and hard deposits, including hard-to-reach areas.

They clean without anesthesia, but if necessary, anesthetize individual teeth, mucous membranes. This is necessary when removing plaque in the subgingival or supragingival region with an ultrasonic nozzle.

How is the procedure?

1. The doctor examines the condition of the teeth.
2. The patient is covered with a blanket, put on goggles, a hat.
3. A saliva ejector is applied under the tongue.
4. Cleaned from plaque, stone. A scaler with a nozzle is used, which performs rapid oscillations of ultrasonic frequency. Cleaning is carried out under the condition of alternately directing the nozzle from one tooth to another along the surface. At the same time, a treatment mixture or water is fed through the tip. Excreted through a saliva ejector.
5. Polish the surface with paste, brush. Strips are used - strips with an abrasive composition - for processing hard-to-reach areas.
6. Fluoride. The stage is optional, performed by agreement with the patient. The goal is to strengthen enamel and prevent caries. A fluorine-containing gel is applied to the surface.

The duration depends on the condition of the teeth - 30-60 minutes.

The nuances of applying the technique

Ultrasonic cleaning gives results in combination with other methods:

• with preventive cleaning "Air Flow", when ultrasonic waves are fed into the oral cavity along with a stream of water, soda and air;
• with curettage of periodontal pockets, if there is a stone under the gum.

Treatment is useful to start with ultrasonic cleaning to ensure the connection of dental tissue with the material. Cleans by a periodontist or dental hygienist.

When do you need Air Flow cleansing?

Indications for use:

• insufficient oral hygiene;
• darkening of the enamel due to pigmentation and plaque;
• upcoming whitening;
• upcoming orthodontic treatment;
• the need to clean prostheses, implants;
• caries;
• bleeding gums;
• bad smell.

Cleaning results

• teeth are cleaned of dark plaque, they become smooth, which reduces the likelihood of plaque retention;
• restore the natural color of the enamel;
• prevent tissue damage, the development of diseases;
• accurately determine the color for the next restoration;
• effective prevention of periodontal disease.

Disadvantages of ultrasonic cleaning:

• contraindications to conduct;
• risk of damage to soft tissues, dentin.

Contraindications for carrying out

• HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis;
• SARS;
• cardiac arrhythmia;
• orthopedic constructions were installed;
• rehabilitation after surgery on the eyes, heart (the patient must notify the doctor);
• childhood or adolescence.

Preparation is carried out before carrying out:

• antiseptic treatment of the oral cavity;
• applying the gel to the surface for conduction.

After that, the doctor starts cleaning the teeth.

• smoke;
• use coloring products.

The method is used in the following areas:

• periodontology;
• orthodontics;
• implantology and dental surgery;
• endodontics.

With each method, nozzles are installed, tools are selected.

Why is air flow teeth cleaning and ultrasound needed?

Hardware cleanings are indicated for adult patients, regardless of the condition of the oral cavity. Even if there are no visible problems, you should not miss a session. Tartar:

• increases the risk of developing an infection;
• causes bleeding gums;
• violates the integrity of the enamel;
• negatively affects the health of the child in a pregnant woman.

• remove from the diet foods that contain dyes;
• avoid smoking;
• carry out hygiene procedures;
• Get regular dental checkups to keep them clean.

What does the result depend on?

Defining indicators of successful cleansing:

• quality equipment;
• high qualification, experience of the doctor.

Our patients choose Dentalroott clinics.

The patient affects the stability of the result, following the recommendations:

• use dental floss, antiseptics, rinses;
• repeat the cleaning procedure regularly;
• choose a toothpaste with the least amount of abrasive components and chemical constituents.

Teeth cleaning with ultrasonic devices is the most popular and effective hygienic procedure in dentistry. This method allows you to get rid of age spots and tartar of any massiveness and localization. In addition, it is safe, does not damage crowns and gums, and is easily tolerated by patients.

But there are reviews about the dangers of ultrasonic cleaning. And they are true: careless manipulation or the use of outdated devices leads to serious consequences that will have to be eliminated for a long and expensive time. How a hygienic procedure should be carried out, what mistakes a doctor can make, and where in Moscow it is better to remove dental plaque is described in the review. Read also about withdrawal, to whom it suits.

Ultrasonic cleaning of teeth from tartar, what is it?

Ultrasonic cleaning of teeth is carried out with special devices - scalers or scalers. They consist of:

• two blocks: control and oscillation generation;
• liquid supply systems - distilled water or an antiseptic solution with fragrances;
• tip;
• nozzles of several types: the dentist chooses their type depending on the clinical picture, for example, a nozzle with a blunt and wide tip is used to remove hard deposits, and a long and narrowed tip is used to remove subgingival calculus.

During operation, the scaler creates ultrasonic vibrations with a frequency of 25-50 kHz - their strength is chosen depending on the massiveness of the deposits, the condition of the gums and the patient's enamel. These vibrations are transmitted to the handpiece, and then to the nozzle. When carrying out a working nozzle along the surface of the teeth, the physical destruction of mineralized plaque occurs.

In addition to mechanical action, cleaning also occurs due to the cavitation effect. The antibacterial solution is supplied not only for washing out the destroyed deposits and antiseptic treatment. Ultrasound in a liquid medium forms many microscopic bubbles that explode on contact with the surface and also destroy mineralized formations.

Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is a universal hardware hygienic procedure. It allows you to get rid of deposits of any type:

• mild bacterial plaque;
• pigmented plaque;
• supragingival tartar;
• subgingival deposits.

No other device for removing plaque and stone has such a multifaceted spectrum of action.

Methodology

Ultrasonic cleaning consists of a set of three procedures:

• directly removing plaque and stones with a scaler;
• crown polishing;
• strengthening the enamel and its saturation with useful substances.

Polishing is a must. If teeth remain rough, plaque will quickly reattach to them.

In conventional ultrasonic cleaning, polishing is carried out manually, using special brushes and pastes. This option is considered a classic.

But there is another way of polishing - using ("Air Flow"). This device removes the remaining plaques and makes the crowns smooth by treating the units with a water-air mixture with abrasive particles.

The polishing option using Air Flow is the best. But it increases the cost of the procedure by 2-4 thousand rubles. In addition, the combination of two methods is no longer considered conventional ultrasonic cleaning, but professional oral hygiene.

Step-by-step ultrasonic cleaning of teeth:

• examination of the oral cavity, determination of the massiveness and localization of deposits;
• application or infiltration anesthesia - in general, cleaning is painless, but with increased tooth sensitivity (hyperesthesia) or removal of stone from periodontal pockets, local anesthesia is needed;
• the installation of a mouth expander is a special soft lip retractor that does not allow the patient to close his lips, provides a good view and access to the teeth;
• the introduction of a saliva ejector - it removes saliva and an antiseptic solution that is supplied during the procedure;
• direct removal of deposits: first, plaque and stone are removed from the supragingival part of the teeth, then along the gingival border, and then from periodontal pockets;
• polishing and grinding crowns;
• treatment of units with preparations for fluoridation and / or remineralization;
• if necessary, washing the gums with antiseptic solutions and applying applications with anti-inflammatory gels to them.

Advantages and disadvantages

Ultrasonic crown cleaning is considered the best because of its numerous advantages:

1. Versatility. Scalers can clean plaque and stone of any massiveness and localization.
2. Antiseptic action. It is achieved by irrigating the teeth with antibacterial solutions and the antimicrobial effect of cavitation. This property is especially useful for patients with periodontitis: after the use of ultrasound, the maximum disinfection of periodontal pockets is achieved, as a result of which the gums heal faster.
3. The ability to customize the device for different needs. The frequency of ultrasonic vibrations is chosen individually, taking into account the condition of the patient's teeth and gums. The same applies to nozzles - here the priority depends on the location of the stone.
4. gum massage. Ultrasonic vibrations additionally massage the mucosa, which contributes to the normalization of trophism and metabolic processes in tissues.
5. A gentle effect. With ultrasonic cleaning, only 0.1 microns of dental tissue is removed. For comparison, during manual stone removal with curettes, 5-25 microns of enamel are damaged (statistics taken from the dental information portal “MyDentist” https://bit.ly/2DGbjHY
6. Elimination of an unpleasant smell. The effect is achieved by removing plaque, coupled with antiseptic treatment.
7. Enamel brightening. Scalers are not able to whiten enamel tissue. But due to the removal of stones, pigmented plaques and polishing of the teeth, they become lighter by 1-2 tones.
8. Long-term effect of the procedure. Re-plaque will accumulate in 6-12 months.

The advantages of cleaning with scalers also include a short duration. But this parameter is relative. So, if the patient has only supragingival deposits, then one visit lasting 30-60 minutes will be needed to eliminate them. But massive subgingival stones are removed in several steps: in half an hour or an hour it is impossible to detect and remove all formations located deep in periodontal pockets.

It is worth considering the disadvantages of ultrasonic cleaning:

1. Discomfort. Although advertising often claims that the procedure is painless, this is not entirely true. At the very least, discomfort is guaranteed. However, they are quite tolerable if you have healthy gums. But with inflammation of the mucosa, ask for anesthesia, otherwise it will hurt.
2. Relatively high cost. On average, cleaning both jaws costs 4-5 thousand. This amount increases if you have to work in periodontal pockets or prescribe remineralizing and anti-inflammatory therapy.
3. Contraindications for frequent use. Any intervention, albeit minimal, but still damages tooth enamel and gums. Therefore, it is worth cleaning with ultrasound no more than every six months, and even better - once a year.

It is worth noting the potential damage. The manipulation itself is harmless. But there are two points:

1. Old equipment. When choosing a clinic, pay attention to the devices used. Give preference to centers that use piezoelectric scalers: Satelec, EMS, etc. In them, the nozzle tip moves strictly linearly along the surface of the teeth and does not damage the enamel. But in old-style scalers (magnetostrictive and sonic), the tips make elliptical and circular movements, and injure tissues.
2. Physician incompetence. Carelessness, haste or lack of experience of a dentist threaten with fatal consequences: destroyed enamel, damage to the gums, rupture of the circular ligaments. Therefore, carefully choose a specialist: ask your friends, read reviews on independent resources, ask for a preliminary consultation with a hygienist and ask him in detail how and with what devices he will conduct an ultrasound cleaning.

The situation is aggravated if it is necessary to remove a subgingival stone. In such cases, it is better to contact not a hygienist, but a periodontist dentist: he will not only remove mineralized deposits, but also carry out the necessary treatment.

Indications and contraindications

Ultrasound cleaning of crowns is desirable if present:

• pigmented plaque from tea, coffee, cigarettes;
• supra- or subgingival stone;
• swelling and bleeding of the gums;
• halitosis - bad breath;
• sensation of roughness, foreign formations on the teeth.

Ultrasonic cleaning is shown to all adults - it is unrealistic to avoid the accumulation of plaque and stone even with a scrupulous attitude to hygiene. But for certain categories of patients, the procedure is mandatory. It:

• smokers;
• patients with diagnosed gingivitis, periodontitis or periodontal disease;
• people undergoing orthodontic treatment: cleaning is performed before installing braces, every 3-4 months during bite correction and once every six months during the retention period;
• examined before implantation and prosthetics.

But for people with already installed implants and prostheses, ultrasonic cleaning is contraindicated. Ultrasonic waves violate the integrity of structures, can provoke their rejection and loss. Such patients are recommended more gentle hygiene procedures: Air Flow, laser cleaning.

Also, scalers cannot be used when:

• asthma;
• bronchitis;
• acute viral and respiratory diseases;
• pathologies of the respiratory tract;
• severe heart disease;
• inflammation in the oral cavity;
• malignant formations in the mouth;
• erosion of tissues of teeth and gums;
• severe form of diabetes;
• epilepsy;
• installed pacemaker.

Frequently Asked Questions from Patients

Is ultrasonic teeth cleaning harmful?

With proper conduct and the absence of contraindications, ultrasonic cleaning is harmless. On the contrary, it is even useful: the procedure normalizes trophism in tissues, helps to cure inflammation of the gums, and teeth cleaned of calculus and plaque better absorb useful elements from pasta, water and food.

Another thing is that dentists do not always use scalers correctly. They may violate the technique of the procedure or use outdated equipment that damages the enamel. In such cases, complications cannot be avoided.

How often should I do ultrasonic teeth cleaning?

The standard recommendation is to perform manipulation every 6-12 months. But this period is conditional and can be shifted up or down. Focus on the rate of formation of plaque and stones. Therefore, there are several nuances:

• with careful hygiene and the absence of bad habits (smoking, excessive consumption of coffee and black tea), cleaning is carried out less often - once every 1-1.5 years;
• with the abuse of cigarettes, tea and coffee, the frequent occurrence of caries, ultrasound cleaning every six months is required;
• Patients with braces are recommended to perform manipulation every 3-4 months.

Is it painful to brush your teeth with ultrasound?

In general, the manipulation is painless. But discomfort from ultrasonic exposure is inevitable. In addition, unpleasant sensations arise due to the separation of mineralized formations from the enamel, work in the area of ​​​​sensitive necks of teeth and gums.

Keep in mind that it will hurt if you:

• deep subgingival deposits;
• inflamed gums;
• thinned enamel;
• hyperesthesia.

In such cases, ask for anesthesia - it will make the procedure as comfortable as possible.

Is it used in children?

Ultrasonic cleaning of teeth is prohibited in childhood and adolescence until a complete change of teeth - at least up to 15, and preferably up to 18 years.

This is due to several things:

• in a child with milk units, ultrasound can disrupt the growth of molars;
• enamel in babies (in "milk jars" and permanent units) is more fragile than in adults;
• the use of scalers during the change of teeth negatively affects the growth of units;
• after a complete change of milk units to indigenous ones, 2 years should pass - during this time the process of enamel mineralization continues.

If a child still needs teeth cleaning, more gentle methods are used: Air Flow, mechanical treatment with special brushes and pastes.

Can ultrasound be used during pregnancy?

Ultrasonic scalers act locally and do not harm the fetus. However, it should be borne in mind that any intervention is undesirable in the 1st and 3rd trimester: at the beginning of pregnancy, there is a high risk of miscarriage, and in the last stages the uterus is sensitive to any effect, and premature birth may occur.

Therefore, it is advisable to carry out ultrasound cleaning in the 2nd trimester after consultation with a gynecologist. And even better - before pregnancy at the planning stage.

Dental care after ultrasonic cleaning

The first 2-3 days after the procedure, dentists recommend following these rules:

• exclude cold, hot, sour, hard and sticky food - sensitive to chemical, thermal and mechanical stimuli;
• purchase a new toothbrush - during manipulation, the gums are slightly damaged: they become overly susceptible to infections, and microbes and bacteria are easily introduced from the old brush;
• use a brush with soft bristles and a paste with low abrasiveness, high in fluoride or calcium for a couple of weeks - this will help reduce sensitivity, strengthen the enamel and prevent damage;
• adhere to a “white” diet: after removing deposits, the enamel is more susceptible to staining, therefore, “dark” foods and drinks are excluded: fruit drinks, compotes, juices, carrots, beets, cherries, currants, etc .;
• if cleaning was carried out against the background of gingivitis and periodontitis, it is necessary to apply applications with Metrogil Denta gel and rinse your mouth with chlorhexidine - this will relieve inflammation of the gums and accelerate healing.

In addition, they follow standard hygiene tips: brush their teeth at least twice a day, rinse their mouth immediately after eating, use floss and antiseptic rinses.

How much does ultrasonic teeth cleaning cost, 8 promotions and discounts in dentistry in Moscow

Removal of plaque and stone by ultrasound is not the cheapest procedure. In the capital's clinics, they charge 100-200 rubles for processing one tooth with a scaler with polishing and varnishing. But more often they indicate the full cost for both jaws: the average price in Moscow is 4,500 rubles.

Due to the high cost of manipulation, patients are looking for promotional offers. Below is a list of the best dentists in Moscow that provide discounts for ultrasonic cleaning. Promotions are valid for the beginning of winter 2019.

Please note that the table shows clinics that provide classic ultrasonic cleaning (with manual polishing). There are few such centers: usually scalers are used in a complex of full-fledged professional hygiene, which includes the use of ultrasound devices, Air Flow and fluoridation.

Regular and high-quality cleaning of teeth from plaque and deposits is the best measure to prevent the development of various dental diseases. Previously, it was carried out exclusively by mechanical methods, but today modern dentistry offers patients a more effective method - ultrasonic cleaning of teeth, which allows you to get an excellent positive result of cleaning tooth surfaces with a minimum of negative consequences for the healthy state of the natural enamel coating.

In the article we will talk in detail about the procedure: we will find out its features, advantages, prices for ultrasonic cleaning of teeth in Moscow.

What is Ultrasonic Teeth Cleaning?

For ideal cleaning of teeth from plaque and calculus, regular brushing and toothpaste will not be enough. It is necessary to regularly visit the dentist's office, where the sanitation of the oral cavity is carried out by professional methods, one of which is ultrasonic cleaning of the teeth. What is this procedure?

Cleaning of dental surfaces with ultrasound is an innovative method of sanitation of dental surfaces, which uses a specialized scaler apparatus. Its use in the procedure allows you to qualitatively clean the enamel coating from all types of deposits - both hard and soft. Thanks to such a thorough cleaning, it is possible not only to ensure the perfect whiteness of the teeth, but also to successfully prevent caries and other dental diseases.

The principle of efficiency of the scaler

As we mentioned above, ultrasonic teeth cleaning uses a special type of device - a scaler. The device works as follows:

1. It conducts ultrasonic vibration to the tooth surfaces.

2. Ultrasound waves have a destructive effect on all types of plaque - hard and soft deposits.

Reviews of ultrasonic teeth cleaning from patients confirm that this method is not only painless and safe, it is as effective as possible!

Benefits of ultrasonic cleaning of dental surfaces

Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is appreciated by professionals for a number of the following advantages:

• The use of innovative equipment allows you to qualitatively process the root canals of all teeth in the jaw, regardless of their position in the row.
• Tooth surfaces are ideally cleaned of all types of deposits, including plaque from smoking and eating coloring foods.
• The natural enamel coating of the teeth is polished.
• Tooth enamel becomes lighter by several tones. If you want to achieve the maximum effect of white teeth, use the teeth whitening service.

The price of ultrasonic teeth cleaning is slightly higher than for other professional hygiene measures, but at the same time, the procedure allows you to get the perfect result of sanitation of the oral cavity without harm to the health of the patient's teeth and the state of natural tooth enamel.

Contraindications for ultrasonic cleaning

Before carrying out any medical procedure, it is important to consider not only the indications for it, but also possible limitations. Only in this case, the event will be truly useful and safe for the patient.

There are few contraindications to brushing your teeth with ultrasound, and the main ones are:

• Implants installed in the oral cavity;
• Some diseases of the heart muscle;
• Pathology of the respiratory system and respiratory tract;
• A number of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
• Increased sensitivity of the dentin.

Temporary restrictions on ultrasonic cleaning of dental surfaces are periods of pregnancy and lactation, the patient's age is up to 18 years, the presence of infectious diseases and diseases of viral etiology.

To exclude possible contraindications to the procedure, before ultrasonic cleaning of teeth, it is worth paying a visit to the dentist for an initial examination and detailed consultation.

Steps of the ultrasonic cleaning procedure

The process of ultrasonic cleaning of teeth is divided into several main stages, among which are:

1. Preliminary inspection. The dentist examines the patient and assesses the condition of his teeth and enamel. If during the examination no contraindications to further manipulations are revealed, the specialist begins preparation directly for the cleaning process.

2. Cleansing of dental surfaces from deposits. At this stage, the specialist uses a scaler built into a special installation. The nozzle of the innovative instrument generates ultrasonic vibrations and, simultaneously with ultrasound waves, a solution of water and medicines is delivered to the surface of the teeth. In order for the cleaning of the teeth with ultrasound to be of the highest quality, it is extremely important that the specialist makes all the movements of the nozzle in the right direction.

3. Enamel polishing. To perform polishing manipulations, special brushes and professional pastes are used; in hard-to-reach areas, the dentist uses strips - ultra-thin strips, on the surface of which an abrasive substance is applied. The strips are glued to areas that cannot be cleaned with a regular brush and removed after a while.

The final step in ultrasonic teeth cleaning is fluoridation. It is not mandatory and is carried out solely at the request of the patient. The procedure uses fluorine-containing gels, the use of which allows you to consolidate the positive results of sanitation and prevent caries. Fluoridation is carried out by applying the thinnest layers of the drug to the tooth surfaces, containing fluorine and calcium in the maximum concentration.

Recommendations for caring for teeth after ultrasonic cleaning

After the ultrasonic cleaning of the teeth, the specialist necessarily advises the patient on the rules for caring for the oral cavity. Compliance with the recommendations of the doctor is a guarantee that the positive result of the procedure will last as long as possible.
