Endodontic scalers are a non-surgical way to perform endodontic procedures. There are a few different types of endodontic scalers, including sonic, ultrasonic, piezoelectric, and manual. More and more dentists are turning to ultrasonic because of their ease of use and efficiency with varying tip options. One benefit of ultrasonic endodontic scalers is little to no handpiece vibration, helping eliminate hand fatigue and increase tactile sensitivity. Some options may include water line or reservoir, single or double handpiece, fully autoclavable handpieces, tabletop or modular unit style, aseptic unit design, varying modes of power as well as many others. There is an extensive range of tips including hygiene tips, perio tips, and even diamond coated endodontic tips. Whichever endodontic scaler fits your practice's needs, be sure to choose a reputable vendor who will provide superior customer support.
