Ask the Expert: Air Polishing and Scaling

Jan. 14, 2025

Has patient sensitivity during hygiene appointments become commonplace? How about difficulty maintaining periodontal health, including that of implants? The combination of air polishing in dentistry with piezoelectric scaler benefits is the answer to these clinical frustrations. 

In this discussion with industry experts, you will gain insight into dental hygiene technology advancements that are addressing the following:

•    Enhanced ability to manage biofilm around implants and areas of pocketing that traditionally may have been difficult to instrument.
•    Improved ergonomics by decreasing the amount of hand scaling required by the clinician, which reduces fatigue and tension on the clinician’s hands.
•    Reduced patient sensitivity due to gentle instrument tips and warm water, so clinicians can scale subgingival and along exposed root surfaces without causing discomfort to the patient.  
•    Refined oral health outcomes and disease prevention through effective biofilm removal from teeth and implant surfaces. 

Read on to learn more about how air polishing in dentistry, in combination with the piezoelectric scaler, is transforming preventative care and making significant impacts on ergonomics.
