"Draw a thin tree, a redwood in the wind." Less movement occurs on thicker wood, not thinner, willowy trees.
The difference between magnetostrictive and piezoelectric Ultrasonic Scaler is described.
The most important clinical difference is the way the tips move. Magnetostriction USES the elliptical or figure-8 motion. The magnetostriction movement moves up and down, where piezoelectric is primarily a linear motion up and down. The way the fingertips touch the tooth is different from the way they move, which affects the comfort of the patient. They also produce different energies, and these tips have different frequencies. Magnetostriction can be used on any surface. With piezoelectric, only the side can be used, or at least the most effective.
These techniques have the greatest activity in different places. On the piezoelectric ceramics, the tip of the instrument is most effective on two transverse surfaces that move back and forth across the teeth. Magnetostriction is most active at the top and bottom, not on the side.
Are there any potential dangers on the surface of the tooth when using ultrasound?
The tip of the end has the most active energy and movement, so it should not be directly exposed to the root surface because it will damage it. However, I do think there is a difference when dealing with a very tough calculus. If this tip is in calculus, not on teeth, this is the most effective way to get rid of calculus. It's like getting out of calculus. I don't want a tooth root, but sometimes I do want a very hard rock. Philosophically, oral hygiene has two rules. First, treatment must be safe, and second, treatment must be effective. Avoiding points on the root surface is to protect the teeth.
Is there a difference in the size of the tip?
Correct tips are important. The tip thickness affects the movement - the thinner the tip, the more exercise. Energy Settings also affect movement. With hand tools, the lightest side pressure will do the job to ensure maximum comfort for the patient. Use ultrasound, which is related to the use of the lowest power, and to do this in the comfort of the patient. When using ultrasound, thinner tips should be used for lower strength and thicker skills. Tips and powers should be determined by the type of deposit.
For heavy calculus, the thickest technique should be used with higher energy. When only the biofilm is removed, the thinnest tip is the best. With a fine style, half the power is the biggest, but if it can get the job done, it should use less than a quarter of the power. With thin tips and high power, lots of activity and movement are taking place. Metal fragments move much less. Imagine a dead tree and a redwood in the wind. Less movement occurs on thicker wood, not on thinner willow trees.
Is there a special method for removing stones in QIs?
In both cases, the main technique is to position the end of the ultrasound tip into a periodontal probe, parallel to the long axis of the tooth, and point to the vertex. This will most effectively reach the bottom and proximal regions. Biofilm removal is important, but it can easily fall off. The main purpose of biofilm removal is to contact every part of the root surface. Under low power and light side pressure, overlapping strokes should be used. Exercise can be very fast, because you are not trying to break down the hyperplasia that is fixed on your teeth, but rather to contact the easily damaged sediments. A quick and light stroke is effective. This is a common misconception that flushing the area and making water flow to the root surface is effective. Of course, lavage has a lot of benefits, but I believe that it is the goal to get an ultrasound that is exposed to biofilm. The effective area of action around the toolbar is fairly narrow. I often hear health experts say that the rate of ultrasound is much faster than manual scaling. In reality, it has as many strokes as another brushstroke, but with ultrasound, it can be done more quickly. Ultrasound technology is used to deposit many small cracks into the stone deposits of the teeth. I think the slower movement is more effective than the quick motion that works on the biofilm.
Does QDo tips become less effective when worn out?
ADefinitely. Use regular use techniques to get shorter. Because the top has the most movement, wear or reduction translates into less advanced motion. Use consistent usage, usually at the last nine months to a year. The length of the prompt is measurable and needs constant monitoring. Most manufacturers have templates that can compare the current length of the ultrasonic tip to the ideal length. They explained what the tip was and if it needed to be replaced.
You believe that as long as the biofilm on the surface of the calculus is removed, you can leave the grinding calculus, is that acceptable?
I didn't like it last year. Ultrasound dental equipments are easy to partially remove and grind deposits in very dense or tough calculus. The surface feels smooth, but calculus still exists. In a review appointment, incomplete healing of adjacent tissue, including detection and residual calculi bleeding, no matter how smooth or how it is a pity, has a very high correlation. With regular health care patients, the operator can see how the tissue is restored and see where it is still bleeding, which usually indicates the existence of calculus. Under the endoscopy, it is clear that when the rock is polished and not removed, the inflammation in the inner surface of the pocket is the opposite of the remaining stone.
