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.
