Ultrasonic scalers are used to make the cleaning procedure more comfortable and effective. A Cavitron is a high frequency sound wave tooth used by our hygienists to clean teeth. The ultrasonic sound waves vibrate the dirt, tarter, and plaque off teeth.Click to see full answer. Just so, how does the cavitron work?Ultrasonic tooth scalers use transducers that convert electricity into mechanical energy using materials like quartz crystals or specialized ceramics that change shape with electricity (piezoelectric) which generate up to 50,000 vibrations per second or by changing magnetic fields (magnetostrictive) which go up to what is the difference between a cavitron and piezo? Both piezo and magnetostrictive (eg. Cavitron) can be effective if used correctly. The Cavitron has more active surfaces and so is somewhat less technique sensitive when it comes to calculus removal. BUT it is more technique sensitive when it comes to minimizing root damage. Secondly, can cavitron damage teeth? The damage depth was significantly deeper in the enamel cracks and early caries groups than in the sound enamel group (P < . 05). Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that ultrasonic scaling can cause further damage to teeth with enamel cracks, early caries and resin restorations.Do ultrasonic scalers hurt?Here is some additional information about the use of Ultrasonic Cleaners during your dental hygiene visit: The procedure does not use chemicals that may harm the teeth or the gum line. This makes ultrasound dental cleanings suitable to those with sensitive teeth. A manual scaling tip can hurt.
