Ultrasonic scaling: Proven to remove more active biofilm.¹
Have you seen the new data on ultrasonic scaling with the Cavitron 300 Series? It may change the way you think about scaling—and help you further enhance your patient care.
See the proof: The Cavitron 300 Ultrasonic Scaling System removes 50% more active biofilm as compared to hand scaling.¹
Ultrasonic Scaling (top)
Pale purple all over = very little biofilm remaining
Hand Scaling (middle)
Pale purple areas = removed by hand scaler
Dark purple = remaining biofilm not removed
Control: Untreated (bottom)
Dark purple all over = high biofilm remaining
Why removing more biofilm matters
Once attached, biofilm resists being disturbed. Even a healthy mouth is threatened by biofilm. Unaddressed, it can lead to gingivitis, periodontitis, and systemic inflammation and disease.
Seeing is believing!
The effectiveness of Ultrasonic Scaling vs Hand Scaling was compared in an in-vitro study at the University of Glasgow, the results speak for themselves.
