30 Liter 40KHz Dental Ultrasonic Cleaner With 600W Heater For Picks

Does ultrasonics work for dental instruments?

Yes! Aside from the anecdotal evidence provided by thousands of dental offices and hospitals, many studies have been done indicating that ultrasonic cleaning is an effective method not only for removing organic cantaminants, but reducing viral load:

Beyond Instrument Cleaning:

Ultrasonic cleaners are also very popular for cleaning other dental related items, especially for consumers. Some examples of commonly cleaned dental items include:

Dentures – Many people have discovered the ease and effectiveness of cleaning their dentures in an ultrasonic bath. Since ultrasonic cleaning is so precise, all odor causing bacteria is stripped away with each cleaning, leaving dentures clean and fresh.

Retainers – Just like dentures, retainers can become soiled and odorous in short order. With the proper cleaning solution, retainers can be cleaned to a like new condition.

Effectiveness Of Ultrasonic Cleaning Of Dental Instruments:

Cafruny WA1, Brunick A, Nelson DM, Nelson RF.

PURPOSE: To quantitate blood contamination present on dental instruments used for routine prophylaxis and to assess the effectiveness of ultrasonic decontamination in reducing blood and virus contamination on dental instruments.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Human blood contamination present on dental instruments obtained after routine prophylaxis was analyzed using IgG as a blood marker. RESULTS: The estimated contaminating blood volume was found to normally range between 1.4 x 10(-6) to 2.0 x 10(-4) ml.

Attempts to saturate the instruments with blood contamination suggested that the maximum possible retained blood volume was about 10-fold higher than the normal levels of contamination. Hand scrubbing of contaminated instruments was both relatively ineffective and inconsistent in removing blood contamination.

Decontamination in an ultrasonic cleaner was more effective than hand washing, resulting in greater than a 100-fold reduction of blood contamination. Using a mouse model virus (lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus, LDV), high levels of virus contamination of dental instruments and dental handpieces were achieved, as determined by assay of residual virus.

Ultrasonic treatment reduced the level of virus contamination present on dental instruments by one million-fold, and virus contamination present in dental handpieces was reduced by one thousand-fold.

These results provide quantitative estimations of the infection threat and its reduction by ultrasonication, posed by human-exposed dental instruments.

Enzymatic Cleaners:

Cleaning solutions for ultrasonic cleaners can be any kind of liquid that you want. Many applications use distilled water as a cleaning solution.

Specific cleaners exist for applications in cleaning equipment that are exposed to blood and saliva. These enzymatic cleaners come in the form of a presoak that will bind to and loosen up blood, tissue and saliva, making them soluble in water. This is done by the enzymes in the cleaner. As such, when the instruments are placed into the ultrasonic cleaner after an enzymatic presoak, they are cleaned and the organic material will be pulled away from the surface of the instrument and dissolved into the cleaning solution. Cleaning instruments this way eliminates the need for harsh detergents that, in some cases, are not as effective in cleaning as an ultrasonic cleaner paired with an enzymatic presoak.
