ULTICLEAN PROPHYLAXIS POWDER PERIO PLUS

Polishing Effect: To assess the polishing effect, the optics and haptics of the surface after the radiation of the coated area were also evaluated (see cleaning effect). Again, the value 10 was assigned to the sodium bicarbonate powder having a particle diameter of 40 μm for better comparability. The smaller the point value, the smoother and more cleaning of the surface. (see Figure 5). Ulticlean Prophylaxis Powder PERIO PLUS shows outstanding cleaning and polishing performance with very low abrasiveness. The glycine powder EMS Perio with a particle diameter of 25 μm and the erythritol powder EMS Plus with a particle diameter of 15 μm showed a similar behaviour in the polishing of the surface. However, these cut in the evaluation of cleaning time and abrasiveness compared to the BA Ulticlean Prophylaxis Powder PERIO PLUS. This polishing effect makes a final polish of the tooth after the irradiation superfluous. This also represents a considerable time savings for the dentist.

Figure 6: Comparison of the polishing effect of different powders. The smaller the value, the smoother the surface or the better the polishing effect.

Smooth Effect: In order to demonstrate the unique cleaning and polishing performance of the Ulticlean Prophylaxis Powder PERIO PLUS, our team developed the “smooth effect” especially for this purpose: This establishes a ratio between the fast and gentle cleaning and polishing performance of the Ulticlean Prophylaxis Powder PERIO PLUS sof the tested powders. For this purpose, the reciprocal value of the ratio of the polishing effect to the cleaning effect was determined. The higher the value, the greater the smooth effect, which indicates the combination of the cleaning and polishing effect of the respective powders tested. Again, Ulticlean Prophylaxis Powder PERIO PLUS with the highest value of 8.50 outperforms the other powders tested (see Figure 6).
