Ultrasonic scaling .
Tooth cleaning is usually accomplished by the non-surgical technique of scaling, sometimes called “root debridement.” It's typically a relatively painless procedure in which small dental instruments are used to physically remove deposits from the surfaces of teeth

2. • As it is known to all that dental plaque is the main/primary
causative agent of periodontal disease. If left uncleaned over
time, it leads to the accumulation of harder deposits called
calculus around & below the teeth or gums & devastates one’s
oral health condition. In order to attain oral health free of
disease causing bacteria, a careful & precise dental cleaning is
mandatory.
• The goal of Dental cleaning or non-surgical periodontal
therapy indicates maintenance of good oral health via removal
of the calculus & plaque from your teeth with no damage to
the roots of teeth.
3. • The procedure is relatively painless, accomplished with the use
of ultrasonic scaler. There was a time, when scaling was
performed accompanied by manual dental instruments, but in
last decades with its fast & efficacious use ultrasonic scaler
has surpassed the use of traditional dental cleaning.
4. Why do teeth require special cleaning?
• Our mouth is full of bacteria, bacteria constantly leads to the
formation of colourless plaque over the teeth surface. Plaque
that could not be removed hardens to form bacteria harbouring
tartar or calculus. As calculus forms between the tooth & gum
tissue inflammation of gums occur known as gingivitis. Gum
tissue gets detached from the tooth & leads to formation of a
pocket (pathological deepening of gingival sulcus) full of
proliferating bacteria.
• Plaque & calculus spread & grow below the gum line breaking
down bone & connective tissue. Scaling & root planing is the
recommended treatment for treating periodontal disease.
5. • Without treatment, damaged root surfaces will continue to
harbour plaque & calculus build up. The plaque releases toxic
waste products which provokes destructive response from your
body such as inflammation & bone resorption. It can result in
irreversible loss of bone support around your teeth. As pockets
become deeper, damage occurs more rapidly due to inability to
clean these areas. Tooth mobility, tooth loss, abscesses may
occur, if left untreated.
• Scaling & root planing may be recommended as the first step
in actively controlling your periodontal disease. It comprises
of a very thorough cleaning & smoothing of all the surfaces of
tooth & root to remove plaque & calculus below the gum line
to the bottom of pocket.
6. • Root surfaces are rough due to deposits of plaque & calculus
build up that are attached to your root surfaces. The roughness
harbours plaque & bacteria which is irritating to the gums
causing inflammation.
• With smooth root surfaces, supporting tissues can then re-
attach to the tooth surface or at least decrease the inflammation
encouraging a healthier pocket.
7. • Often local anesthetic will be used to help make it more
comfortable for you. A medicated rinse may be prescribed to
promote the healing process.
• More frequent ultrasonic scaling at Dr. Sachdeva’s Dental
Institute along with strict home care routine will increase your
chances of keeping your natural smile.
8. What does ultrasonic scaler do?
With the advancement in dental practice, dental hygiene goals have
evolved too. The use of ultrasonic scaler with its high vibrational energy
effectively disrupts plaque biofilms, calculus & bacterial deposits from
beneath or above the teeth along with the therapeutic flushing of
periodontal pocket with cooling water or antimicrobial irrigant. This
favourable advancement effectively removes the deposits supra (above) &
subgingivally (beneath the gums) & actively encourages healing.
10. • Certainly, ultrasonic scaler is relatively more time efficient &
specially designed tips make it possible to deeply penetrate the
periodontal pockets & clean it effectively without letting the
clinician apply more force.
• The handpiece incorporated with LED increases the
accessibility in the hard to reach areas.
11. • Ultrasonic scaler is highly effective in disrupting the hard
deposits from & within the root surfaces making them helpful
for patients require frequent maintenance.
• Antimicrobial rinse or saline provide irrigation which flushes
out the bacteria & improves healing.
The advantages of ultrasonic scaling over manual scaling are
innumerable. Dr. Rajat Sachdeva agrees that the
incorporation of ultrasonic scaler into practice provides best
clinical outcome, patient comfort & reduced time for non
surgical periodontal therapy.
