Ultrasonic scaling

Cavitron 300 by Densply

A Cavitron is a trade name for a dental tool that uses high frequency sound waves to clean teeth. The Cavitron ultrasonic cleaner is a state of the art instrument that has proved to be an extremely successful tool in removing biofilm, plaque and tartar from both above and below the gumline. Instead of scaling your teeth with bulky metal hand scalers the cavitron ultrasonic cleaner is a blunt tip that uses oscillating sound waves to gently vibrate the debris away from your teeth. The Cavitron unit is so gentle that it can even be used to administer deep cleaning and gum therapy many times without the need for anesthetic. Having your teeth cleaned with the Cavitron unit is a safe effective and painless alternative if used correctly to traditional cleaning methods. A Cavitron vibrates at the speed of sound so quickly that you can hardly feel any movement this ultrasonic method can be a more pleasant alternative to hand scaling alone especially when used with warm water for people with cold sensitive teeth and exposed dentin.
