Biological sea salt sandblasting and ultrasonic teeth cleaning are two commonly used treatment methods for oral cleaning and aesthetics, respectively targeting problems such as tooth surface pigmentation, plaque removal and deep cleaning. The two can be used in combination in clinical practice to enhance the treatment effect, but in actual operation, the order and frequency of operations should be reasonably selected based on the patient's specific oral condition, needs and the dentist's evaluation to achieve the ideal oral cleaning and aesthetic goals.
1. The principle and function of biological sea salt sandblasting
Biological sea salt sandblasting is a technology that cleans the tooth surface by spraying a mixture of fine-grained biological sea salt and water. It uses high-pressure airflow to spray sea salt particles onto the tooth surface, effectively removing exogenous tooth pigmentation caused by tea stains, smoke stains, coffee stains, etc., and at the same time can remove plaque and soft scale attached to the tooth surface. Compared with traditional sodium bicarbonate sandblasting, biological sea salt sandblasting is gentler in particle size and composition, causes less wear on tooth enamel, and is more suitable for people with sensitive teeth or high aesthetic requirements.
2. The principle and function of ultrasonic teeth cleaning
Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is one of the commonly used cleaning methods in clinical practice. Its principle is to separate tartar from the tooth surface through high-frequency ultrasonic vibration, and then use water mist flushing to remove the detached materials. Ultrasonic teeth cleaning can effectively remove tartar on and under the gums, interfere with dental plaque, and prevent the occurrence and development of periodontal diseases.
3. Feasibility analysis of joint use
In clinical practice, the combined use of biological sea salt sandblasting and ultrasonic cleaning has obvious synergistic effects. Ultrasonic cleaning can remove mineralized tartar attached to the tooth surface, while biological sea salt sandblasting can further clean the pigment deposits and soft plaque on the tooth surface, thereby improving the overall cleaning effect. In addition, sandblasting treatment has a more significant effect on improving tooth discoloration problems, especially in the preparation stage before oral aesthetic restoration (such as tooth whitening, veneers).
However, there are also some issues that need attention when using the two together. First, in terms of the order of operations, it is recommended to perform ultrasonic cleaning first, remove tartar, and then perform biological sea salt sandblasting to avoid tartar affecting the contact efficiency of sandblasting particles; secondly, in individual patients with sensitive teeth or periodontitis, a professional physician should evaluate and decide whether sandblasting technology is suitable. Sandblasting may cause temporary discomfort or sensitive reactions, but generally resolves within a few hours after the operation.
Analysis of indications and contraindications
In terms of indications, combined therapy is particularly suitable for patients with the following problems:
Those with obvious pigmentation on the tooth surface ;
Those with tartar accumulation and gingivitis ;
Those who need cleaning preparation before oral aesthetic treatment ;
Patients receiving maintenance treatment for stable periodontal disease .
Contraindications: The following groups should be carefully treated:
People with severe gum recession and tooth neck sensitivity ;
Those who have recently undergone periodontal surgery ;
Women in early pregnancy and breastfeeding period (delayed treatment is recommended) ;
Those who are allergic to sea salt or sandblasting ingredients .
5. Postoperative Care Recommendations
After combined treatment, in order to maintain oral hygiene and reduce postoperative discomfort, the following matters should be noted:
Avoid eating within 2 hours after surgery, especially avoid hot or cold stimulating foods ;
Avoid eating dark foods, such as coffee, soy sauce, red wine, etc., on the same day to prevent the pigment from attaching again ;
You can use warm water to rinse your mouth to relieve tooth sensitivity. If necessary, you can use desensitizing toothpaste for care .
Have regular checkups and maintain good brushing and flossing habits .
VI. Clinical value of combined therapy
The combined treatment of biological sea salt sandblasting and ultrasonic teeth cleaning has positive significance in modern oral medicine. It can not only significantly improve oral cleanliness, but also help prevent the occurrence and development of oral diseases. By removing tartar and plaque and reducing gingival inflammation, sandblasting further improves the color and beauty of teeth, and also promotes the improvement of patients' awareness of oral health management.
In addition, with the growing development of oral medical aesthetics, this combination method provides a non-invasive and effective cleaning method for patients who pursue naturally white teeth. It has broad application potential, especially among working people, people preparing for wedding consultations, and people who often face public speeches or the camera.
Beauty Encyclopedia Tips:
Biological sea salt sandblasting and ultrasonic teeth cleaning are both professional cleaning operations. It is recommended that they be evaluated and treated by experienced dentists in regular medical institutions. Although combined use can enhance the cleaning effect, it is not suitable for all people. It requires a comprehensive judgment based on individual periodontal conditions, sensitivity and previous treatment history. Regular teeth cleaning, scientific brushing, a reasonable diet and regular oral examinations are still the basis for maintaining oral health. If persistent discomfort, bleeding gums or increased tooth sensitivity occurs after surgery, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying treatment.
