When it comes to selecting an ultrasonic scaling unit, any number will effectively remove plaque, tartar and stains. The deciding factor then becomes whether the product offers other benefits including ease or intuitiveness of use, power setting variability and, perhaps most importantly, comfort for both the user and the patient. Uniquely engineered to provide excellent visibility throughout the oral cavity, the TurboVue™ Illuminated Ultrasonic Scaler by Parkell is designed to deliver improved illumination and comfort.
A magnetostrictive, ultrasonic tooth scaler, the TurboVue features a light source built directly into the handpiece. The light is then focused through Parkell’s 30 kHz light-transmitting inserts to the working area, fully illuminating that area. This focused light also provides greater visibility than both lighted loupes and overhead lamps and allows for greater precision of operation.
The TurboVue possesses several other features that promote increased operator and patient comfort as well as ease and flexibility of device use. The unit utilizes auto-tuning technology and offers a drastically expanded low-power range, which works to improve patient comfort during debridement. A turbo feature is also available by depressing the foot pedal slightly more than usual, boosting the power to the next level. This boost is ideal for quickly removing a hard accretion. Once the operator lightens up on the foot pedal, the unit remembers the power setting previously used. The TurboVue comes equipped with an inline water filter to prevent clogs and dripping.
