Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is possible. Ultrasonic teeth cleaning: a list of contraindications

Ultrasonic cleaning teeth allows you to remove deposits and microbial plaque that provokes the development of caries and gingivitis. Professional cleaning in the clinic "Zub.ru" is very effective due to the fact that the mechanical effect is combined with the effect of ultrasonic vibrations affecting the dental plaque and destroying it.

Indications and consequences

The advantages of this method of professional hygiene are its relative simplicity and low cost.

• Front surgical interventions in the mouth
• Before implantation
• Before prosthetics
• Before installing braces

Minuses

Ultrasound is not always effective enough against tartar. Sometimes it takes several brushing sessions or another method of removing deposits to deal with hard deposits.

Contraindications - hypersensitivity and thinning enamel.

Many people worry about how often you can do ultrasound cleansing. The standard recommendation is to repeat the procedure every 3-6 months (you can get more precise instructions from your doctor or hygienist.

Teeth cleaning with ultrasonic devices is the most demanded and effective hygienic procedure in dentistry. This method allows you to get rid of age spots and dental calculi of any massiveness and localization. In addition, it is safe, does not damage crowns and gums and is easily tolerated by patients.

But there are reviews about the dangers of ultrasonic cleaning. And they are true: careless manipulation or the use of outdated devices leads to serious consequences that will have to be eliminated for a long time and costly. How the hygienic procedure should be carried out, what mistakes the doctor can make and where in Moscow is it better to remove dental deposits - described in the review. Read also about withdrawal, for whom it is suitable.

Ultrasonic cleaning of teeth from tartar, what is it?

Ultrasonic cleaning of teeth is carried out with special devices - scalers or scalers. They consist of:

• two blocks: control and oscillation generation;
• liquid supply systems - distilled water or an antiseptic solution with fragrances;
• tip;
• of several types: the dentist chooses their type depending on clinical picture, for example, a nozzle with a blunt and wide tip is used to remove hard deposits, and a long and narrowed tip is used to remove subgingival calculus.

During operation, the scaler creates ultrasonic vibrations with a frequency of 25-50 kHz - their strength is chosen depending on the massiveness of the deposits, the condition of the gums and enamel of the patient. These vibrations are transmitted to the handpiece and then to the tip. When a working attachment is carried along the surface of the teeth, the mineralized plaque is physically destroyed.

In addition to mechanical action, cleansing also occurs due to the effect of cavitation. The antibacterial solution is supplied not only for washing out the destroyed deposits and for antiseptic treatment. Ultrasound in a liquid medium forms many microscopic bubbles that explode on contact with the surface and also destroy mineralized formations.

Ultrasonic cleaning of teeth is carried out with scalers or scalers

Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is a universal hardware hygienic procedure. It allows you to get rid of any type of deposits:

• soft bacterial plaque;
• pigmented plaque;
• supragingival calculus;
• subgingival deposits.

No other device for removing plaque and stone has such a multifaceted spectrum of action.

Methodology

Ultrasound cleaning consists of a set of three procedures:

• directly removing plaque and stones with a scaler;
• polishing crowns;
• strengthening the enamel and its saturation with useful substances.

Polishing is a mandatory step. If the teeth remain rough, plaque will quickly re-attach to them.

In conventional ultrasonic cleaning, polishing is carried out manually using special brushes and pastes. This option is considered classic.

Air Flow cleaning removes all types of deposits

But there is another way of polishing - using ("Air Flow"). This device removes the remaining plaque and makes the crowns smooth by treating the units with a water-air mixture with abrasive particles.

Air Flow polishing is the best option. But it increases the cost of the procedure by 2-4 thousand rubles. In addition, the combination of the two methods is no longer considered conventional ultrasonic cleaning, but professional oral hygiene.

Phased ultrasound cleaning of teeth:

• examination of the oral cavity, determination of the massiveness and localization of deposits;
• application or infiltration anesthesia - in general, cleaning is painless, but with hypersensitivity teeth (hyperesthesia) or removal of calculus from periodontal pockets requires local anesthesia;
• installation of a mouth retractor is a special soft lip retractor that does not allow the patient to close the lips, provides good overview and access to teeth;
• the introduction of a saliva ejector - it removes saliva and an antiseptic solution that is supplied during the procedure;
• direct removal of deposits: first, plaque and calculus are cleaned from the supragingival part of the teeth, then along the gingival border, and then from periodontal pockets;
• polishing and grinding of crowns;
• treatment of units with preparations for fluoridation and / or remineralization;
• if necessary - washing the gums antiseptic solutions and application of anti-inflammatory gels to them.

Ultrasonic cleaning allows you to get rid of all types of plaque

Advantages and disadvantages

Cleaning of crowns with ultrasound is considered the best because of its many advantages:

1. Versatility. Scalers can clean plaque and stone of any massiveness and localization.
2. Antiseptic action. It is achieved by irrigating the teeth with antibacterial solutions and the antimicrobial effect of cavitation. This property is especially useful for patients with periodontitis: after the use of ultrasound, the maximum disinfection of periodontal pockets is achieved, as a result of which the gums heal faster.
3. The ability to customize the device for different needs. The frequency of ultrasonic vibrations is selected individually, taking into account the condition of the patient's teeth and gums. The same applies to attachments - here the priority depends on the location of the stone.
4. Massage the gums. Ultrasonic vibrations additionally massage the mucous membrane, which contributes to the normalization of trophism and metabolic processes in the tissues.
5. Sparing effect. Ultrasound cleaning removes only 0.1 microns of dental tissue. For comparison, during manual stone removal by curettes, 5-25 microns of enamel are damaged (statistics are taken from the dental information portal “MyDentist” https://bit.ly/2DGbjHY
6. Elimination of unpleasant odor. The effect is achieved by removing plaque, coupled with an antiseptic treatment.
7. Brightening the enamel. Scalers are not able to bleach enamel fabrics. But due to the removal of stones, pigmented plaques and teeth polishing, they become lighter by 1-2 tones.
8. Long-term effect of the procedure. Plaque will re-accumulate in 6-12 months.

Scalers can clean plaque and stone of any massiveness and localization

The advantages of cleaning with scalers also include a short duration. But this parameter is relative. So, if the patient has only supragingival deposits, then one visit lasting 30-60 minutes will be needed to eliminate them. But massive subgingival stones are removed in several steps: in half an hour or an hour it is impossible to detect and remove all formations located deep in periodontal pockets.

It is worth considering the disadvantages of ultrasound cleaning:

1. The discomfort. Although advertisements often claim that the procedure is painless, this is not entirely true. At least unpleasant sensations are guaranteed. However, they are quite tolerable if you have healthy gums. But with inflammation of the mucous membrane, ask for anesthesia, otherwise it will hurt.
2. Relatively high cost. On average, cleaning both jaws costs 4-5 thousand. This amount increases if you have to work in periodontal pockets or prescribe remineralizing and anti-inflammatory therapy.
3. Contraindications to frequent use. Any interference, albeit minimal, but still damages tooth enamel and gums. Therefore, it is worth cleaning with ultrasound no more often than every six months, and even better - once a year.

Potential damage is also worth noting. The manipulation itself is harmless. But there are two points:

1. Old equipment. When choosing a clinic, pay attention to the devices used. Give preference to centers that use piezoelectric scalers: Satelec, EMS, etc. In them, the tip of the nozzle moves strictly linearly along the surface of the teeth and does not damage the enamel. But in old-style scalers (magnetostrictive and sonic), the tips make elliptical and circular motions, and injure tissue.
2. Incompetence of the doctor. Carelessness, haste or lack of experience of the dentist threaten with fatal consequences: destroyed enamel, damage to the gums, rupture of circular ligaments. Therefore, choose a specialist carefully: ask around your friends, read reviews on independent resources, ask for a preliminary consultation with a hygienist and ask him in detail how and with what devices he will carry out ultrasound cleaning.

Supragingival deposits can be removed in 30-60 minutes

The situation is aggravated if the subgingival calculus needs to be removed. In such cases, it is better to contact not a hygienist, but a periodontist dentist: he will not only remove mineralized deposits, but also carry out the necessary treatment.

Indications and contraindications

It is advisable to clean the crowns with ultrasound if there is:

• pigmented plaque from tea, coffee, cigarettes;
• supra- or subgingival stone;
• swelling and bleeding of the gums;
• halitosis - bad smell from mouth;
• feeling of roughness, foreign formations on the teeth.

Ultrasound cleaning is shown to all adults - it is unrealistic to avoid the accumulation of plaque and stone even with a scrupulous attitude to hygiene. But for certain categories of patients, the procedure is required. This is:

• smokers;
• patients with diagnosed gingivitis, periodontitis or periodontal disease;
• people undergoing orthodontic treatment: cleaning is performed before installing braces, every 3-4 months during bite correction and every six months during the retention period;
• examined before implantation and prosthetics.

The procedure is contraindicated for people with dental implants and prostheses.

But for people with already installed implants and prostheses, ultrasound cleaning is contraindicated. Ultrasonic waves violate the integrity of structures, can provoke their rejection and loss. More gentle hygiene procedures are recommended for such patients: Air Flow, laser cleaning.

Also, scalers cannot be used when:

• asthma;
• bronchitis;
• acute viral and respiratory diseases;
• pathologies of the respiratory tract;
• severe heart disease;
• inflammation in the oral cavity;
• malignant tumors in the mouth;
• erosion of the tissues of the teeth and gums;
• severe diabetes mellitus;
• epilepsy;
• installed pacemaker.

Frequently asked questions from patients

Is brushing your teeth with ultrasound harmful?

If carried out correctly and in the absence of contraindications, ultrasound cleaning is harmless. On the contrary, it is even useful: the procedure normalizes trophism in tissues, helps to cure gum inflammation, and teeth cleared of calculus and plaque better absorb useful elements from paste, water and food.

The final stage is teeth polishing

Another thing is that dentists do not always use scalers correctly. They may disrupt the technique of performing the procedure or use outdated equipment that damages the enamel. In such cases, complications cannot be avoided.

How often do you brush your teeth with ultrasound?

The standard recommendation is to perform the manipulation every 6-12 months. But this term is conditional and can be shifted up or down. They are guided by the rate of formation of plaque and stones. Therefore, there are several nuances:

• with careful hygiene and lack of bad habits(smoking, excessive consumption of coffee and black tea) cleaning is carried out less often - once every 1-1.5 years;
• with the abuse of cigarettes, tea and coffee, frequent occurrence caries ultrasound cleaning every six months is required;
• patients with braces are advised to perform the manipulation every 3-4 months.

Is it painful to brush your teeth with ultrasound?

In general, the manipulation is painless. But the discomfort from ultrasound exposure is inevitable. In addition, discomfort occurs due to the separation of mineralized formations from the enamel, work in the area of ​​sensitive necks of the teeth and gums.

Consider that it will hurt if you have:

• deep subgingival deposits;
• sore gums;
• thinned enamel;
• hyperesthesia.

Before and after cleaning

In such cases, ask for anesthesia - it will make the procedure as comfortable as possible.

Is it used in children?

Ultrasound cleaning of teeth is prohibited in childhood and adolescence until a complete change of teeth - at least 15, and better - up to 18 years.

This is due to several points:

• in a baby with dairy units, ultrasound can disrupt the growth of molars;
• enamel in babies (in "milk jugs" and permanent units) is more fragile than in adults;
• the use of scalers during the change of teeth negatively affects the growth of units;
• after a complete change of dairy units to indigenous ones, 2 years should pass - during this time, the process of enamel mineralization continues.

If a child still needs brushing, more gentle methods are used: Air Flow, mechanical treatment with special brushes and pastes.

Can ultrasound be used during pregnancy?

Ultrasonic scalers act locally and do not harm the fetus. However, it should be borne in mind that any interventions are undesirable in the 1st and 3rd trimester: at the beginning of pregnancy, the risk of miscarriage is high, and in the last stages the uterus is sensitive to any influence, and premature birth may occur.

The first time after cleansing it is important to adhere to the "white diet"

Therefore, it is advisable to carry out ultrasound cleaning in the 2nd trimester after consulting a gynecologist. And even better - before pregnancy at the planning stage.

Dental care after ultrasonic cleaning

The first 2-3 days after the procedure, dentists recommend following these rules:

• exclude cold, hot, sour, solid and sticky food - sensitive to chemical, thermal and mechanical irritants;
• buy a new toothbrush- during manipulation, the gums are slightly damaged: they become excessively susceptible to infections, and germs and bacteria can easily be brought in from the old brush;
• use a brush with soft bristles and a paste with low abrasiveness, high content of fluorine or calcium for a couple of weeks - this will help reduce sensitivity, strengthen the enamel and prevent damage;
• adhere to a "white" diet: after removing deposits, the enamel is more prone to staining, therefore, "dark" foods and drinks are excluded: fruit drinks, compotes, juices, carrots, beets, cherries, currants, etc.;
• if cleaning was carried out against the background of gingivitis and periodontitis, you need to apply applications with Metrogyl Denta gel and rinse your mouth with chlorhexidine - this will relieve inflammation of the gums and accelerate healing.

Average price in Moscow - 4,500 rubles

In addition, they follow standard hygiene tips: brush your teeth at least twice a day, rinse your mouth immediately after eating, use floss and antiseptic rinses.

Ultrasound has long been proven to neutralize bacteria. So why not use it to brush your teeth? No bacteria - no caries. Excellent prevention!

Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is a non-contact, painless and completely safe method. Its main purpose is to remove hard limestone deposits (stones). Tartar is a mineralized bacterial plaque that cannot be removed at home even with the toughest brush.

How professional ultrasonic cleaning is done

About 10-15 years ago, dentists removed hard plaque with curettes. These are hand tools, very sharp and sharpened at the ends. It is clear that the procedure was painful and injured the enamel and gums. The layer of "living" tissues, which is removed with curettes, is 5-25 microns. This means that each time the enamel becomes thinner and more sensitive.

During the gentle ultrasound cleaning, only 0.1 µm of tissue is removed. It is carried out using an ultrasound machine, which is now installed in almost every dentistry and clinic. A special scaler attachment generates silent vibration vibrations with a frequency of 16 - 45 thousand Hz. The doctor adjusts the amplitude of the oscillations to relieve different types plaque, including in hard-to-reach places.

Ultrasonic waves eliminate not only the visible yellow bloom, but also subgingival bacterial deposits that accumulate in periodontal pockets and trigger the inflammatory process.

Ultrasound, like a drill, crushes tartar into tiny particles. The formed stone dust is removed using a mouth "vacuum cleaner", then the enamel is washed with a stream of water. At the very end, the surface of the teeth is ground and polished using professional nylon brushes and abrasive pastes. The entire session lasts about 30-40 minutes. And if there are too many stones, then the procedure takes about an hour.

Pros and cons of ultrasonic cleaning

The method is excellent for caries prevention and inflammatory diseases gums - gingivitis, periodontitis, stomatitis. It is recommended for all patients. This is why ultrasonic teeth cleaning has become so popular and in demand:

• safe removal of tartar without damaging the enamel;
• Removal of subgingival plaque that causes bleeding and inflammation of the gums;
• ultrasound sterilizes the tooth surface, destroys pathogenic microflora;
• elimination of bad breath;
• brightening the enamel to a natural shade - by 1-2 tones.

Disadvantages of the procedure

First of all, the minus is pain when removing the subgingival calculus - if desired, you can apply local anesthesia. In the second - discomfort when treating sensitive areas, for example, the root area, where there is thin enamel.

Care after ultrasound teeth cleaning

After the procedure, a feeling of freshness and cleanliness appears, the enamel brightens, becomes perfectly smooth, pleasant to the touch. To maintain the result as long as possible, it is recommended to carefully care for your teeth, brush them after each meal or at least 2 times a day.

On the first day, a slight sensitivity is possible, so it is better to refuse too cold and hot food. It is also recommended to limit the intake of coloring products (coffee, tea, wine) for a couple of days so that the whiteness of the enamel will delight you for a long time.

Dentists advise purchasing a new toothbrush. After ultrasonic treatment, the gums are slightly irritated, vulnerable to infection. And your old brush can be a source of harmful bacteria.

Contraindications to brushing your teeth with ultrasound

Although toothbrushing with ultrasound is indicated for all patients, there are still contraindications:

• arrhythmia of the heart and other severe ailments of the cardiovascular system;
• the presence of a pacemaker;
• chronic asthma, bronchitis;
• exacerbation of any respiratory disease;
• serious infectious diseases - hepatitis, tuberculosis;
• children and adolescence.

Unfortunately, ultrasound cleaning is not suitable for patients who have dental implants and orthopedic structures in their mouths. The fact is that vibrations of ultrasonic waves can violate the integrity of some products. This happens very rarely, but it is still not worth the risk. In this case, an alternative method is used - Air Flow abrasive cleaning.

FAQ

Is brushing your teeth with ultrasound harmful?

In the absence of contraindications, ultrasonic cleaning is absolutely safe. Plus, it's good for your teeth. The cleaned, smooth enamel begins to better absorb trace elements and nutrients contained in toothpaste, mineral water, food. Do not confuse ultrasonic cleaning with chemical bleaching, which dries out the enamel, making it more fragile and sensitive.

How often do you brush your teeth with ultrasound?

It is recommended to have a session about once every six months. Within 6 months, dental plaque gradually accumulates and hardens. In people suffering from mineral metabolism disorders or increased saliva viscosity, tartar forms faster. In this case, cleaning should be done every 3-4 months.

Can ultrasonic cleaning be done at home?

Unfortunately, it is impossible to put a scaler at home and do ultrasonic cleaning of your teeth yourself. This should be done by a specialist. But there is an alternative - buy an ultrasonic toothbrush. It has a special mechanism and a conductor inside the handle that produces vibrational vibrations. This is the so-called "soft ultrasound" that destroys pathogenic microflora. Such a device removes plaque 200% more efficiently than a conventional toothbrush. But it is unlikely that she is able to cope with the massive tartar that has accumulated on your teeth for years. Therefore, it is still recommended to consult a dentist before buying.

Is the ultrasound method safe during pregnancy?

Ultrasound waves act locally, so they are safe for a pregnant woman. However, it should be borne in mind that in the first trimester of pregnancy, the protective properties of the placenta are still very weak, and in the third trimester, the sensitivity of the uterus to any external influences increases. Therefore, if you decide to undergo hygienic cleaning at the dentist, then it is better to do it in the second trimester. Be sure to inform your doctor about your situation.

Before and after brushing your teeth with ultrasound

The cost of the procedure

• Ultrasonic cleaning of the entire oral cavity will cost about 3,000 rubles.
• Also, you can remove a stone only in certain areas, the cost of such a service is 220 rubles. for 1 tooth.

A popular procedure in Dentalroott clinics is the removal of dental plaque with ultrasound. Ultrasonic scaler, vibrating, removes stone, plaque. The method is suitable for removing stubborn formations. The tools, thanks to the special sharpening, do not injure the tissues. The popularity of the procedure is determined by the efficiency and price.

About the procedure

The selected frequency, the amplitude of the oscillations affects the area where the dental tissue is separated from the stone. This allows:

• to act without pain, harm;
• separate stone, other deposits, completely cleaning the surface;
• restore the natural color of the enamel.

Purposes of ultrasonic cleaning:

• remove pigmentation;
• remove calculus in the supragingival and subgingival areas;
• clean the enamel to establish the color (before restoration);
• clean before fluoridating treatment (to protect the enamel);
• clean the surface before bleaching;
• clean the heads of the implants.

Hygienic treatment involves removing soft and hard deposits, including hard-to-reach areas.

They are cleaned without anesthesia, but if necessary, individual teeth and mucous membranes are anesthetized. This is necessary when removing plaque in the subgingival or supragingival area with an ultrasonic tip.

How is the procedure going?

1. The doctor examines the condition of the teeth.
2. The patient is covered with a blanket, goggles and a hat are put on.
3. A saliva ejector is applied under the tongue.
4. Cleans from plaque, stone. A scaler with a nozzle is used, which performs fast oscillations of the ultrasonic frequency. Cleaning is carried out under the condition of alternating direction of the nozzle from one tooth to another along the surface. At the same time, a medicinal mixture or water is fed through the tip. Discharge through a saliva ejector.
5. The surface is polished with a paste, brush. Strips are used - strips with an abrasive composition - for processing hard-to-reach areas.
6. Fluoride. This stage is optional, it is performed by agreement with the patient. The goal is enamel strengthening and caries prevention. The fluorine gel is applied to the surface.

The duration depends on the condition of the teeth - 30-60 minutes.

The nuances of applying the technique

Ultrasonic cleansing works in combination with other methods:

• with preventive cleaning "Air Flow", when ultrasonic waves are fed into the oral cavity together with a stream of water, soda and air;
• with curettage of periodontal pockets, if there is a stone under the gum.

It is useful to start treatment with ultrasonic cleaning to ensure the connection of the dental tissue with the material. Cleans by a periodontist or dental hygienist.

Stages of the procedure for cleaning teeth with ultrasound

The process of ultrasonic cleaning of teeth is divided into several main stages, including:

1. Preliminary inspection. The dentist examines the patient and evaluates the condition of his teeth and enamel. If during the examination there are no contraindications for further manipulations, the specialist begins to prepare directly for the cleaning process.

2. Cleansing dental surfaces from deposits. At this stage, a specialist uses a scaler built into a special installation. The nozzle of an innovative instrument generates ultrasonic vibrations and, simultaneously with the ultrasound waves, a solution from water and drugs... In order for the cleaning of teeth with ultrasound to be of the highest quality, it is extremely important that the specialist makes all movements with the nozzle in the right direction.

3. Polishing the enamel coating. To perform polishing manipulations, special brushes and professional pastes are used; in hard-to-reach areas, the dentist uses strips - ultra-thin strips, on the surface of which an abrasive substance is applied. The strips are glued to areas that cannot be cleaned with a regular brush and removed after a while.

The final stage of ultrasonic teeth cleaning is fluoridation. It is optional and is carried out solely at the request of the patient. The procedure uses fluoride gels, the use of which allows you to consolidate the positive results of sanitation and to prevent caries. Fluoridation is carried out by applying the thinnest layers of the preparation to the dental surfaces, containing fluorine and calcium in the maximum concentration.

Recommendations for dental care after ultrasonic cleaning

After carrying out ultrasonic cleaning of teeth, a specialist necessarily advises the patient on the rules of caring for oral cavity... Compliance with the doctor's recommendations is a guarantee that the positive result of the procedure will last as long as possible.
