How to choose the most suitable mobile dental delivery unit?
Suction Performance – One of the most difficult design areas for a mobile dental delivery unit to create, is the powerful suction desired for dental procedures. It needs to provide high flow with moderate strength to pick up debris, capture water coolant effectively and pull viscous solutions through smaller tubings like the saliva ejector or surgical tips. To effectively work for restorative procedures the system should be able to not only power the high-volume suction, but also be able to extract liquid through the saliva ejector simultaneously. When doing comparisons make sure to evaluate the suction strength of both the high volume and saliva ejector handpieces when used together. Doing so will let you know that you have a well-designed portable dental suction system.

Compressed Air and Handpiece Performance – When evaluating a mobile dental delivery unit with compressor, make sure that the internal air compressor provided can produce enough air flow at the right pressure to operate air driven dental turbine unit properly. Even electrical dental high speeds use air for cooling and need proper air flow.

Don’t be tricked into using horsepower to try and compare models. Unfortunately, horsepower ratings have a wide range of latitude and marketing companies have used the HP rating to trick many consumers into believing one model is more powerful than another. This is often seen in electric hand tools sold in the big box stores. The best way is to find out if the system you are evaluating can adequately run common brands of dental turbine handpieces for an extended period without pressure dropping.

What is dental alginate impression ?

Image
Alginate impression material helps dentists take accurate impressions of the teeth for a variety of devices and treatments. This goo that's used to help craft dental bridges, veneers and retainers comes from a surprising source: seaweed. Also known as an irreversible hydrocolloid impression, alginate material is a widely used product in dentistry. What is alginate made of? Alginate is a powder that contains potassium alginate, calcium sulfate and a few other elements derived from brown algae and kelp, according to the Dental Corporation of America. Combined with water, it turns into a gel that sets firmly enough to use as a mold. The material comes in a few different formulas. The setting time varies depending on the temperature and the amount of water used. Alginate Impression Uses Dental impressions are used for any device that has to fit over or replace any of your teeth, such as mouth guards, braces, bridges, crowns and veneers. They are usually made by dental alginate...

History of Dental Autoclave

Image
The autoclave was invented in 1879 by Charles Chamberland, but the concept of using steam in an enclosed space for the purpose of preventing sickness had already existed since 1679. Unlike most processes going on in today’s laboratories and hospitals, sterilization has occurred using very much the same principles and methods for the last 150 years. Most advances in dentalautoclave technology since that time have revolved around either keeping better track of the process of sterilization to better guarantee the safety of the users or creating new types of sterilization cycles.   Another element of sterilization that hasn’t changed over time is the use of steam as a sterilizing agent. In order to kill a cell through heat, its temperature must be raised to the point where the proteins in the cell wall break down and coagulate. Steam is a very efficient medium for transferring heat, therefore it is an excellent way to destroy microbes. Air, on the other hand, is a very i...

What's Scale And Polish?

Image
Gum disease is usually caused by the accumulation of plaque bacteria. The best way is to brush your teeth twice a day. But no matter how you clean your teeth, it's always difficult to reach areas that are difficult to keep clean. In these areas, plaque bacteria can accumulate and eventually mineralize, forming a hard, hard-skinned deposit called calculus or tartar that cannot be removed by brushing alone. If not removed, more plaque may accumulate around the teeth and may be under the gum line, leading to the progression of gum disease. To reduce the risk of gum disease or help prevent it from becoming more serious, your dentist may recommend professional cleaning with ultrasonic scaler with water bottle , called a scale and polish, to get your teeth cleaned properly. How to do that? The scale and polish can be done by your dentist or hygienist. The first 'scraping' stage removes deposits of plaque and tartar. Ultrasonic scrapers are usually used first t...
