FAQs
What is the difference between ultrasonic scalers and manual scalers?
When compared with manual scalers that require hand movement to dislodge plaque and tartar, ultrasonic scalers apply high-frequency vibrations to do this.
When should the oral hygiene instruments be sterilized?
All the oral hygiene instruments have to be cleaned and disinfected after each procedure to minimize the chance of cross-contamination. Autoclaving is one of the most utilized methods for sterilizing & cleaning hygiene dental instruments for your dental practices.
