Potential hazards of the dental ultrasonic descaler

摘要: The use of a dental ultrasonic descaler may be associated with biological hazards to structures within the oral cavity. Thermal result from either frictional contact between oscillating probe and tooth or absorption acoustic energy tooth. Transmission ultrasound along in thrombogenic damage nearby blood vessels. vibrating tip produce scratching surface, incorporation bacteria aerosol generated by instrument which transmission infected material. Damage ear arise coupling bones skull via Furthermore electro-magnetic field produced these devices interfere cardiac pacemakers. It is patient receiving treatment who mainly exposed potential hazards. However, clinician his supporting staff also at risk.
