Today, the market for dental equipment for tartar removal is quite saturated with a variety of solutions, the cost of which can vary significantly.

Let’s see what are the main differences between ultrasonic scalers for plaque removal using the example of the DTE product line.
DTE- is a brand of the manufacturer Guilin Woodpecker Medical Instruments Co. Ltd., well known on the Polish market.

OVERVIEW OF THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ULTRASONIC SCALERS

HOW TO INSTALL THE SCALENER

This is the first indicator by which ultrasonic scalers can be classified.

Autonomous ultrasonic scaler- a device consisting of a main unit, handle and power supply, can include a water supply system. Does not require connection to a dental unit.
This option is convenient primarily in clinics that use one ultrasonic scaler for several rooms, as well as in the absence of a medical engineer who can install and operate the built-in scaler.
Built-in ultrasonic scaler – a device consisting of a plate and a handle. Connects directly to the unit.
This is the most convenient solution for rooms with a small area, often equipped with a dental unit.
The current range of DTE ultrasonic scalers includes 5 stand-alone scaler models and 3 built-in models

DETACHABLE HANDLE

The detachable autoclavable ultrasonic scaler handpiece is the modern standard as it ensures sterility consistency from patient to patient. Another advantage of the detachable tip is that if it is damaged, there will be no need to replace the entire device – replacing the tips is easier and cheaper.

At the same time, non-removable handles are also popular due to their low cost. In this case, sterility is ensured by the use of disposable sterile covers on the handle.

HANDLE WITH LED LIGHT

The LED backlight of the ultrasonic scaler handle allows for better visualization of the working field, which positively affects the quality and ease of use.

At the same time, if you use binoculars or a microscope with high-quality and powerful lighting, and central lighting comes from the installation, then the presence of lighting in the handle of the ultrasonic scaler ceases to be a critical aspect when choosing.

FLUID FEEDING SYSTEM

The comprehensive tartar removal solution includes a fluid delivery system that can be implemented either inside the device or using a separate container. Otherwise, when working with an ultrasonic scaler that does not have a built-in water supply system, it is necessary to supply liquid through the device or connect an autonomous water supply system directly to the scaler.

The presence of high-quality spraying of liquid from the tip  is extremely important for the convenience of the process of removing dental deposits, because the better the spraying, the fewer movements need to be made with the handle.

It is especially important to pay attention to whether you will use medical solutions, for example chlorhexidine. Because the density of some solutions used is greater than that of water, not all systems delivering the fluid can spray it effectively. Scalers with a built-in diaphragm pump can successfully cope with this task.
