Professional teeth cleaning under a microscope

Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is carried out using an ultrasonic scaler, which allows you to split and remove tartar without injuring your teeth and gums. The device looks like a hook, at the end of which an ultrasonic wave is applied, which destroys tartar. Further, the particles are simply washed off the surface of the teeth.
For hard-to-reach places and the subgingival zone, different types of tips are used. This allows the stone to be removed more thoroughly.
Ultrasound also softens plaque, which ensures its more thorough removal in the next step.

The procedure for removing tartar is completely safe for the teeth. Ultrasonic cleaning is painless, but there may be discomfort due to the peculiarity of the audible sound, the touch of the instrument. Soreness can manifest itself in the cervical region or in the area of ​​​​inflammation, erosion. This is a signal for the diagnosis of this area of ​​the tooth and, possibly, treatment.

Medical effect:
- removal of tartar;
- teeth whitening;
- reducing the risk of gum disease, loosening and loss of teeth.

The procedure is similar to the usual Air Flow cleaning. The fundamental difference is in the method of supply and the properties of the powder itself.
With the help of the device, a special powder is applied to the surface of the tooth under pressure, which gently and carefully cleans soft dental deposits.
The patented new generation KaVo PROPHYpearls® powder consists of spherical granules, without corners and edges, due to which it does not injure the enamel and the surface of the gums. Cleaning is well tolerated even with increased sensitivity of the teeth.

At the same time, unique granules have a huge number of contact points, so they clean better.
The composition includes calcium carbonate and substances that help reduce the acidity of saliva, which further reduces the amount of plaque formed.

The procedure is safe for teeth and gums and painless. Powders have pleasant smells to choose from: orange, mint, peach and blackcurrant.

Medical effect:
- removal of pigmented plaque and bacteria;
- teeth whitening by 1-2 tones;
- reduction of bad breath;
- positive impact on the microflora of the oral cavity;
- Reduced risk of caries and gum disease.

Polishing is carried out using a smooth rubber brush and special polishing pastes of various abrasiveness.
Our teeth are subjected to stress when chewing, chewing food, etc. In this case, microchips, microcracks, roughness, delamination of the old filling, etc. can form. Such irregularities will contribute to the rapid accumulation of new plaque and bacteria. Therefore polishing is the obligatory last stage of professional cleaning.
Additionally, at this stage, the spaces between the teeth are cleaned and polished with the help of strips (grinding strips).
After polishing, the teeth are perfectly smooth, shiny and beautiful.

The procedure is safe for teeth and gums.

Medical effect:
- perfect smoothness of the tooth surface;
- slowing down the formation of plaque after brushing.

After brushing, a special remineralizing varnish containing hydroxyapatite and fluorine is applied to the teeth. Such gels are called "liquid enamel", they remineralize and restore the hard tissues of the tooth, practically "sealing", filling cracks and erosion areas.

The need for remineralization comes from the fact that the bacteria that live in plaque release lactic acid in the process of life. This acid leads to erosion of the enamel, which can later cause caries. After a professional cleaning, the teeth are cleaned of bacteria, this is the ideal moment to restore microdamages.

Medical effect:
- restoration of microdamages;
- decreased tooth sensitivity.
