Abstract

The use of ultrasonic surgery units and scalers are steadily increasing in the field of dentistry. Such units and scalers should be evaluated before they are commercialized because the mechanical performance and stability of equipment is crucial for patients. Hence, we created a hand-piece moving system that can test bone cutting and teeth scaling. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the teeth scaling performance of ultrasonic scaler unit. Additionally, we measured the temperature distribution and noise during the test. through an experimental test, we found that a high output of an Ultrasonic NX device can cause serious damage to the teeth surface, and it was not within range in heat generation distribution and noise test.

치과 분야에서 초음파를 이용한 수술기 및 스케일러의 사용은 꾸준하게 증가하고 있다. 이때 개발된 기기의 성능 및 안정성은 시술 받는 환자에게 결정적인 요소로 작용하기 때문에 상업화 전에 반드시 시험 평가되어야 한다. 그래서 골 절단 및 치아 스케일링 평가를 수행할 수 있는 핸드피스 이송 시스템을 자체 개발하여 사용하였다. 본 연구의 목표는 초음파 스케일러 팁을 이용하여 치아 손상 정도를 평가하기 위함이다. 추가적으로 초음파 기기의 열 발생 및 소음에 대한 측정을 수행해보았다. 결과적으로 Ultrasonic NX 기기의 높은 출력은 실험을 통한 치아에 심각한 손상을 입힐 수 있지만 열 화상 카메라를 이용한 열 발생 및 소음 측정을 통해 안정적인 범위에 있었다.
