Методе за професионално чишћење зуба: карактеристике, и контраиндикације фото пре и после третмана
- the so-called Air Flow( airflow);
- use of ultrasound;
- application of laser technology.
Let's take a closer look at each of them.
Method Air Flow
This method involves the exposure of the tooth surface to an air stream containing a specific abrasive material.Traditionally abrasives use sodium bicarbonate , that is, ordinary drinking soda.A thin stream of water allows you to remove the abrasive from the treated area, together with the contaminants that have separated from the teeth.For a refreshing effect, menthol or other fragrances may be added to the feed water.Water also performs a cooling function, preventing the enamel from overheating during the impact of the abrasive.
This method not only performs the cleaning function, but also provides polishing of the enamel.The enamel of the teeth acquires a luster, and its surface is partially clarified.Do not expect perfect whiteness, because this method allows only to clean the enamel from the dirt of , which hid its natural color.To clarify the enamel by several tones with the help of this method is impossible.
The advantages of this procedure include safety and high efficiency.The doctor individually selects the power of the abrasive flow.At the same time, he takes into account not only the volume and durability of the dental deposits to be removed, but also the individual sensitivity of the teeth, as well as the thickness of the enamel.
Before the procedure, it is necessary to make sure that the patient has no contraindications to it:
- excessively thin layer of enamel;
- extensive caries;
- enamel lesions of non-carious nature, resulting in increased sensitivity, abrasion or brittleness;
- acute periodontal disease;
- isolated respiratory tract diseases( obstructive bronchitis, asthma);
- allergy to the components used.
The features of the Air Flow method include wide availability and relatively low cost.The duration of the procedure is from 20 to 30 minutes.The effect of it lasts long enough.Photographs of teeth made after the procedure clearly demonstrate its effectiveness, if you carry out a comprehensive comparison with the photo before dental surgery.
Ultrasonic method
The use of ultrasound makes the procedure of professional cleaning of teeth more effective.The duration of manipulation is shortened, which positively affects the patient's convenience.Ultrasound has a remarkable antibacterial and antimicrobial effect.
It is important to note the complete safety of ultrasound for the oral cavity.The softness of the action spares the enamel of the teeth.The use of special nozzles for different areas allows the most efficient removal of contaminants even in difficult areas.In the process of exposure, tartar is not simply mechanically removed, and is its gradual destruction of with subsequent removal.This aspect is of particular importance for the stone located in the periodontal pockets.If an instrumental intervention is used to remove it, it will be significantly traumatic.
With the ultrasonic method, a water jet is also produced, which removes the breakdown deposits and flushes their residues from hard-to-reach places.Simultaneously with the removal of deposits, partial clarification of hard tissues takes place.
There are also some contraindications to this procedure:
- significant demineralization of enamel;
- extensive caries, as well as its complications;
- purulent diseases affecting the periodontium or mucous membrane of the mouth;
- severe cardiovascular disease;
- patient use of pacemakers;
- pulmonary, renal or hepatic insufficiency.
Currently, the ultrasonic cleaning method has become widespread, due to which the cost of the service has significantly decreased.In this case, the effect of the procedure can be maintained up to a year of , provided thorough home care after the procedure.
Laser technology
Laser application has become a hallmark of the most modern technique of professional teeth cleaning.The peculiarity of the effect of this method is based on the process of evaporation of the liquid.In the thickness of the plaque and tartar, there is incommensurably more liquid than in the enamel of the teeth.The laser allows you to layer-by-layer evaporate the liquid contained in the sediments, layer by layer destroying them.
There is no contact with the tissue.This not only provides the painlessness of the procedure , but also eliminates the possibility of entering any infection.It is worth noting that the laser itself has an antiseptic effect.This prevents the development of caries and other diseases of the oral cavity.
A distinctive feature of laser exposure is the ability to produce whitening enamel, eliminating the need for a separate special bleaching procedure.This is clearly seen in the study of photos taken before and after the procedure.
We note the contraindications to this method:
- the presence of implants in the body, including pacemakers;
- the presence of orthopedic structures;
- ARVI;
- rhinitis;
- severe infections of an infectious nature( HIV, tuberculosis, hepatitis);
- epilepsy;
- asthma.
For all its positive qualities, the method is characterized by the high cost of the procedure.The cost of laser cleaning can be two or more times higher than the cost of other methods.However, due to its effectiveness, whitening effect and other advantages, this method has gained great popularity.The effect of this procedure lasts for up to a year.
Manual removal of plaque and tartar
The manual method of professional cleaning of teeth is a classic.With a comprehensive approach to professional hygienic cleaning, this method is used in the final stage.
The armament of the dentist has special strips that are coated with the necessary roughness.With the help of these the doctor corrects the areas unaffected by the hardware cleaning, processes the interdental spaces.The choice of roughness allows both grinding the plaque and polishing the enamel.
special tools for cleaning are used for complex deposits.They have a sharp working surface and allow an experienced dentist to manually remove sediments that require radical measures.
Special polishing pastes are also used.Their use with special brushes allows you to effectively remove the plaque , and to polish the enamel of the teeth.
Oral care after professional cleaning
In addition to the traditional recommendations for daily care, you should also pay attention to some additional aspects of care after professional cleaning:
- during the first 24 hours after the procedure, do not eat foods that haveExpressed by the coloring action.
- during the first day of undesirable use of coffee, tea, as well as smoking.
- should pay attention to the fact that the dentist must apply after the procedure on the teeth special means that will prevent the formation of deposits and will have a strengthening effect on the enamel.
- is recommended after each meal.If it is impossible, you can recommend a chewing gum or mouth rinse with clean water.Summarizing, it can be concluded that regular visits to the dentist, timely treatment of damaged teeth, as well as periodic professional cleaning together with daily thorough oral care, will allow you to achieve excellent tooth health and a snow-white smile that will last for many years.
