A model system to demonstrate the role of cavitational activity in ultrasonic scaling

A. D. Walmsley, W. R. Laird and A. R. Williams

A model system consisting of vacuum-deposited aluminum on glass was developed to demonstrate the effectiveness of cavitational activity (occurring within the cooling water supply of a dental ultrasonic scaler) in the removal of particulate material from solid surfaces. The amount of solid material removed from the model system by this cavitational activity was quantified by a spectrophotometric technique. It was shown that cavitational activity occurring within the cooling water is an important contributory factor in the cleaning efficacy of the ultrasonic scaler operated under conditions similar to those employed clinically.
