The health of the dentition directly depends on the quality of care. The main prevention of oral diseases is regular cleaning. It is necessary to use toothbrushes, pastes, and floss daily. But home treatments are not enough for quality care. They do not allow you to remove hardened plaque and tartar. In modern dentistry, several methods are used to cleanse enamel. The Zuub Clinic offers its clients the safest and most effective technology.
Ultrasonic teeth cleaning allows you to qualitatively eliminate all formations, without harming the enamel, and acts as a preventive measure for major oral diseases.
What is ultrasonic teeth cleaning
The usual soft plaque that forms in the dentition can be easily removed with a brush or floss. But the formations harden over time and turn into stone. It is impossible to remove it with a brush. It is not possible to qualitatively remove plaque that contains components of tobacco smoke, coloring pigments of tea and coffee drinks. The use of chemicals creates a risk of damaging the enamel structure. This procedure is especially dangerous in case of increased sensitivity.
Ultrasonic cleaning uses a special device to remove plaque. Skyler creates an ultrasonic wave. Its length and frequency are selected by a qualified specialist for the patient personally, taking into account the condition of the enamel. Therefore, ultrasonic teeth cleaning is absolutely safe.
The wave, passing through a layer of plaque and stone, destroys their structure and forces it to separate from the surface of the teeth. After this treatment, formations are easily removed from the enamel. The wave penetrates into the interdental and subgingival spaces, fissures, and any hard-to-reach places. This ensures high quality processing.
Exploitation
In order for the equipment to serve for a long time, careful and competent treatment is necessary.
- Keep the device clean.
- Before each use, the nozzle and key must be sterilized.
- Do not install the attachment while the pedal is on (remove your foot from it).
- Check to see if the liquid is spraying through the nozzle.
- A damaged nozzle must be replaced with a new one.
- It is unacceptable to sharpen a worn-out attachment; it must be replaced.
- When screwing in the nozzle, do not apply any force.
- Control the fluid supply and do not allow it to accumulate between the hose and the nozzle.
- The hose must not be pulled during operation.
- After work, you must first turn off the power and then unplug it from the outlet.
- When attaching an attachment from another manufacturer, make sure that the threads are correct.
Water should flow into the handpiece without interruption, immediately after pressing the foot pedal. If this does not happen, check the attachment of the tip to the hose.
Skyler components must not be boiled in water, sterilized in alcohol or iodine solution, or dried in an oven or microwave. To sterilize parts, you must comply with the requirements specified in the instructions. This will ensure long life of the device.
Various problems may arise when operating devices. They are mainly caused by improper fastening of tips or other parts. The cord may also be damaged or the pedal may be loose. For other problems, please contact your dealer.
Do not install the equipment near flammable objects. Be careful when transporting. It is unacceptable for the skyler to get wet or to be exposed to the directed rays of the sun for a long time.
The autonomous Skyler must be stored in a dry, ventilated room. If you do not use the equipment for a long time, once a month you need to pass water through it and plug it into the network. 5-10 minutes are enough for this.
Warranty service for skylers is provided for a year.
How often should you brush your teeth?
Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is an excellent preventive procedure that allows you to maintain their health and beauty and prevent diseases. The wave not only destroys tartar and plaque. It destroys pathogenic bacteria, eliminating the risk of creating a source of inflammation. During the procedure, pigment spots and layers of dyes are eliminated. Teeth become 1-2 shades lighter, which makes your smile more attractive.
The frequency of professional treatment depends on individual characteristics. Each person develops tartar at a different rate. Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is a safe procedure and can be performed from one to 4 times a year.
Cleaning the enamel is part of the preparation for dental implantation and prosthetics. Sometimes ultrasound treatment is required to process canals when installing a complex filling to ensure reliable fixation. In such cases, the procedure is prescribed by a specialist.
What to choose?
The problem of choice depends on functionality, quality and price. Let's look at different types of skylers.
Air driven
These devices are the cheapest, but are not very powerful. Installing the skyler is not difficult: the device is mounted on the air hose of a permanent installation.
Built-in
The installation consists of integrating the electrical unit into the doctor's stationary unit. Built-in devices are distinguished by the highest power and are easily placed in a free slot in a stationary installation. Built-in appliances have a large selection of attachments.
With connection to a water source
These models are considered more comfortable and versatile to use than built-in ones. The set of functions depends on the manufacturer; you need to carefully study the instructions.
Autonomous
Ease of transportation from office to office. Removable hoses are easy to detach and wash. Skylers are equipped with an automated control system for mains voltage, supply of solutions, connection of nozzles and hoses, and operating mode. At the slightest problem, the sound warning system turns on; in the event of a breakdown, the device automatically turns off.
Nozzles:
- for removing dental plaque;
- for periodontal curettage;
- for surgical procedures;
- for the treatment of carious lesions;
- for endodontic therapy (endochucks).
When purchasing, you need to open the package and make sure that all components are in place.
Price
The cost of ultrasonic teeth cleaning is determined individually; it depends on several factors:
- state of the dentition;
- availability of additional procedures;
- clinic categories.
If a dentist has to remove plaque and stones from all teeth, the cost of the procedure will be quite high. A patient who regularly undergoes professional treatment will not have to spend a lot of money.
After eliminating the formations, a number of additional procedures can be carried out: polishing, fluoridation, the cost of which is included in the total amount.
In high-category clinics, the price of cleaning is usually higher, since they employ highly qualified specialists and use effective drugs.
Bottom line
Modern ultrasonic scalers are the latest generation of dental devices that can be used to analyze and monitor the condition of tooth enamel and orthodontic implants. Smart devices themselves detect the accumulation of plaque and send a signal. Using a scaler, you can carry out a high-quality and gentle procedure for removing tartar. The scaler is also used as an irrigator to irrigate the oral cavity during and after treatment.
There are two types of skyler models: stand-alone and built-in. For stationary offices, built-in ones are chosen. However, stand-alone scalers can also be used in your office. They are cheaper and do not require installation.

Teeth brushing technology
The duration of the procedure depends on the amount of work. On average, ultrasonic teeth cleaning takes 40-50 minutes. The procedure includes the following steps:
- examination of the oral cavity, assessment of the condition of the enamel, selection of wavelength and frequency;
- distribution of a special preparation on the surface of the teeth;
- ultrasound treatment;
- polishing
The procedure does not cause pain or discomfort, and no anesthetic drugs are used.
Our clinic employs qualified specialists with extensive practical experience. They will accurately assess the condition of the enamel and correctly select a safe operating mode. A special gel is applied to the enamel to increase the effectiveness of the wave. With its help, tartar, thick plaque, and age spots can be eliminated faster.
Special pastes are used to polish teeth after brushing. The procedure allows you to give the enamel ideal smoothness, eliminate unevenness and microcracks. This will prevent the formation of plaque on the teeth and prevent its accumulation for a long time. If the enamel is weakened, fluoridation is performed to strengthen its structure.
Principle of operation
The device is developed based on ultrasonic stimulation of tissue, which destroys solid formations. The dentist coordinates the frequency of ultrasound vibrations, selecting the optimal mode. During operation, a liquid is constantly supplied that washes the oral cavity, removes separated plaque and anesthetizes the patient.
It consists of a main unit with a fluid supply coordinator, a power supply, a power pedal, a removable hose with a tip and fluid supply functionality.
The scaler tip easily integrates various attachments and other dental instruments.
Stages of cleaning plaque with a skyler:
- The nozzle of the device is inserted into the oral cavity, and ultrasonic waves are applied through it. During operation, liquid is constantly supplied to clean the removed deposits. The liquid is removed from the oral cavity using a saliva ejector. Since the nozzle glides over the surface of the enamel, this protects soft and bone tissues from possible injury.
- After removing plaque, the enamel is polished. This is necessary to remove remaining pieces of hard deposits and clean the surface from uneven surfaces. For polishing, abrasives can be used, as well as the addition of bleaches.
- After this, fluoridation of the teeth is carried out. This is necessary to strengthen thinned enamel after removing hard deposits and enriching the enamel with mineral elements.
How harmful is brushing your teeth?
Ultrasonic teeth cleaning belongs to the category of safe, gentle techniques that do not harm the enamel or the body. But before carrying out the procedure, consultation with a specialist is necessary, as there are certain contraindications. Processing cannot be carried out if:
- arrhythmias;
- ARVI;
- hepatitis, HIV, tuberculosis;
- implants, orthopedic structures;
- high enamel sensitivity.
This procedure is not performed on children and adolescents whose bite formation has not yet completed.
The essence of the procedure
The procedure is performed in a dental office. The session takes approximately 1-1.5 hours. An ultrasonic scaler for cleaning teeth is a special device that produces vibrations of a certain frequency and amplitude. First, the surface is coated with a special gel. Vibrations stimulate the release of oxygen. Active oxygen destroys deposits.
The compact dental scaler cleans the surface of stone and stains, cleans the periodontal canals under and above the gums, and cleans the root tubules. After cleaning, the surface is ground and polished with special means. Reviews from patients confirm that an excellent effect is achieved. The result is noticeable immediately after the procedure!

Rating of ultrasonic toothbrushes: popular models
Several manufacturers produce good ultrasonic electric brushes. The most famous are Emmi-dent, Donfeel and Megasonex. Every year, these brands release new and improved models, which are regularly mentioned in brush reviews and are among the top ultrasonic toothbrushes, according to users and dentists.
Each brand of brushes has its own characteristics. For example, Emmi-dent placed an ultrasonic chip directly into the cleaning head of an electric brush. This ensures deeper penetration into the gums and, accordingly, a better therapeutic effect. In this case, the bristles do not move during cleaning.
For brushes produced by Donfeel and Megasonex, the element that produces ultrasound is located in the body. Therefore, ultrasound does not penetrate the gums so deeply, but the brush provides combined cleaning of teeth with ultrasound and movement of the bristles.
