Many types of power scalers are available on the market today including sonic, magnetostrictive and piezoelectric. They are essential tools used in veterinary dentistry to perform nonsurgical periodontal therapy. Along with hand instrumentation, power scalers are used to effectively perform professional cleanings on a routine basis. Proper use of power scalers requires knowledge and specific clinical skills in order to achieve thorough debridement and improved tissue health. “Power Scalers from A-Z” will include a review of the evolution of power scalers, types and mechanism of action, tip selection, and proper use. A wet-lab will follow to demonstrate and practice proper technique and clinical safety for both the patient and professional dental staff.
