Used in dental clinics for:
1. Removing tartar (calculus) from teeth.
2. Deep cleaning of the gums (treatment of gum disease).
3. Cleaning periodontal pockets.
4. Some uses in root canal treatment (depending on the type of tip used).
🔹 How does it work?
• The device generates high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations.
• These vibrations are transmitted through a thin metal tip.
• When the tip contacts the teeth, it breaks down the tartar.
• Water is pumped during operation to cool the tip and wash away debris.
🔹 Components of the device in the picture:
• Control unit (with a dial to set the power from 1 to 14).
• Foot pedal to operate the device during work.
• Handpiece onto which cleaning tips are attached.
• Power cable and water tubes.
