Both magnetostrive and piezo ultrasonic scalers are available together with scaler handpieces and accessories. The ultrasonic scalers use the high-frequency and high-energy vibration of ultrasound to remove the plaque, tatar, calculus deposit and stains on the surface of the teeth. It is an efficient, hygienic, convenient and comfortable tooth scaling for oral health care. The dental ultrasonic scaler is supposed to operate by professional dentists under the conditions of adequate disinfection. A dental air scaler is a handheld dental instrument that uses compressed air to generate high-frequency vibrations for removing plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth. It is a common tool in dental hygiene and periodontal therapy.

What are the main differences between piezoelectric and magnetostrictive devices? Piezos use electrical energy to activate crystals within the handpiece to produce vibrations of the powered working end. On the other hand, magneto devices, such as the Cavitron, transfer electrical energy to metal stacks or a ferrous rod to produce vibrations of the powered working-end. Another difference is the amount of water flow needed to prevent overheating. With magneto devices, both the handpiece and working-end should be irrigated with water to prevent overheating the handpiece and working-end. However, for piezo devices, only the working-end needs to be cooled with water since little heat is generated to the tip.

The choice between magnetostrictive and piezoelectric ultrasonic scalers can significantly impact patient care. Magnetostrictive scalers offer efficiency and versatility, while piezoelectric scalers provide precision and enhanced patient comfort. By considering factors such as efficiency, versatility, patient comfort, maintenance, durability, and cost, dental professionals can make informed decisions to tailor their practices to meet the specific needs of their patients.
