Tooth cleaning and filling equipment is an indispensable tool in oral medicine, they undertake the important task of maintaining oral cleaning and treating tooth defects. The following is a detailed description of these two types of equipment:
i. Tooth Cleaning Equipment
dental cleaning equipment is mainly used to remove dental plaque, calculus and other dirt on the surface of the teeth to keep the mouth clean and healthy. Common dental cleaning equipment includes:
- manual toothbrush: This is the most basic tooth cleaning tool. Food residue and soft scale on the tooth surface can be removed by manual brushing. In order to achieve a better cleaning effect, it is recommended to use Pap brushing method, and keep each brushing time in 2 to 3 minutes.
- Electric toothbrush: Electric toothbrushes remove dirt on the surface of teeth through high-frequency vibration or rotation, and their cleaning effect is usually better than manual toothbrushes. Some high-end electric toothbrushes are also equipped with intelligent sensing technology, which can be automatically adjusted according to the user’s brushing strength and habits. For example, Philips Diamond 3 Series Pro electric toothbrush and Diamond 9 series AI electric toothbrush are equipped with SONICARE Sonic cleaning technology, which can effectively remove dental plaque and protect gingival health at the same time.
- Dental floss: Dental floss is used to clean food residue and plaque in the teeth. It is an important supplement to manual toothbrushes and electric toothbrushes. When using dental floss, gently slide it into your teeth and move it up and down to remove dirt.
- Water dental floss (dental punch): Water floss uses high-pressure water flow to rinse the tooth surface and teeth, which can remove dirt that is difficult to reach by the toothbrush. It is suitable for various oral conditions, especially orthodontic patients and people with large teeth.
II. Dental Fillings Equipment
dental filling equipment is mainly used to repair tooth defects and restore the shape and function of teeth. Common dental equipment includes:
- oral drill: Oral drill is one of the most commonly used tools in the process of filling teeth. It is used to remove the detritus and carious tissue on the surface of the teeth and provide clean holes for filling materials.
- Filler: The filler is used to fill the filling material into the defect part of the tooth. It is usually made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and durability.
- Light Curing Machine light curing machine is used for curing resin filling materials. In the process of filling the tooth, after the resin material is filled into the defect, it needs to be irradiated with a light curing machine to make the material harden quickly and fix it on the tooth.
- Forming pieces and forming clips: These tools are used to maintain the shape and adjacency of the teeth during the filling process. They can help doctors fill and shape filling materials more accurately.
In addition, other auxiliary equipment may be used in the filling process, such as mouth mirrors, probes, tweezers, etc., which play an important role in the oral examination and the placement of dental materials.
In General, dental cleaning and filling equipment plays a vital role in oral medicine. They can not only help doctors better diagnose and treat oral diseases, but also improve the oral health and quality of life of patients. Therefore, when selecting and using these devices, attention should be paid to their quality and performance to ensure patient safety and therapeutic effects.
