Professional teeth cleaning hygiene has become the norm in the modern civilized society. All dentists of the world confirm that regular professional dental cleaning and hygienic cleaning  are the guarantee of your healthy and beautiful teeth.

Professional dental hygiene  in our clinic consists of several stages:
- anesthesia (by the request of the patient)
- the use of special protective lip retractor - "Optra Gate" (a rubber pad on the lips, which protects them from the action of soda)
- removal of tartar with ultrasound
- tooth polishing
- lesson of hygiene, selection of hygiene products.

Dental hygiene  is a professional teeth cleaning by removing the plaque (above-and subgingival dental plaque) and smoothing the root surface, that prevents the formation of plaque in the future.

Dental plaque formation
The formation of plaque deposition begins with the organic matter on the surface of the tooth. During the interaction with saliva bacteria are fixed on plaque, which in the course of their life synthesize substances that contribute to the formation of a solid foundation of dental plaque.

Even with regular dental care it is difficult to provide complete cleaning of the teeth - the side surfaces and surfaces between the teeth, as a result in these areas there is an active accumulation of plaque. On easily accessible for cleaning tooth surfaces, with the proper personal hygiene, there is no conditions for the formation of dental plaque.

Supragingival plaque formation creates conditions for the formation of subgingival deposits, that are triggering the destruction of periodontal tissues due to the impact of micro-organisms and toxins.

With time plaque calcification occurs, which turns into tartar. Tartar, in turn, serves as a "safe haven" for bacteria, protecting them from mechanical and chemical action, which creates favorable conditions for their reproduction and growth. Professional teeth cleaning and plaque removal is necessary, otherwise in the periodontal tissues there may be a chronic inflammatory process, which inevitably results in a loss of a tooth.

Instruments for removal of tartar
In the clinic "Tri-niti"  before conducting the professional hygiene the form  of dental plaque and its localization are defined. After that, the hygienist determines the optimal method of removing plaque or other deposits.

In our clinic,these appliances can be used:
• hand tools;
• ultrasonic scaler;
• air-abrasive system ProphyFlex (Kavo)

In order to relieve pain during the  process of removing tartar application, infiltration or block anesthesia are used.

Professional dental hygiene consists of two main procedures: scaling and smoothing the root surface. By scaling it is understood just your teeth professionally cleaned - removal of above- and subgingival deposits  (tartar). Smoothing the root surface prevents the formation of plaque in the future, that is an integral part of prevention of periodontal disease.

In addition with hand tools, removal of tartar and other deposits can be made by scaler. Ultrasonic scaler operating at 25 000 - 30 000 Hz helps to reduce significantly the procedure time of removing plaque and other deposits, in addition to their work it creates the effect of cavitation, which has antimicrobial effects. However, in remote areas the quality of removal of dental plaque by ultrasonic scaler is always controlled by the hand tool.

Polishing
After brushing your teeth, removing plaque or other deposits there comes polishing the tooth surface by:
• special rubber cups,
• end brushes,
• polishing strips,
• flossing and polishing pastes.

Soft rubber cups can be hollow, with bumps, ridges, they are recorded in the angular tip, filled with an abrasive polishing paste, and with the speed of 2 000 - 5000 rpm the tooth surface is polished. In the process, the rubber cup is pressed against the surface of the tooth so that its edge bends, thus there is polishing in all recesses and the subgingival area. Polishing of approximal tooth surfaces is made by coated with aluminum oxide polishing strips, flat dental floss or floss.

Scaling with system ProphyFlex (Kavo).
Air-abrasive system ProphyFlex (Kavo) is used to remove:
• tartar,
• stained deposits from the tooth surface, including the "plaque of a smoker ",
• cleaning the tooth surface before fixing the brackets,
• cleaning the enamel surface before sealing the fissures, etc.

The use of ProphyFlex (Kavo) is most justified to remove plaque and other deposits from inaccessible areas of the tooth. The principle of this device is based on the effects of a mixture of water and soda, which are served under pressure.

To remove the tartar, above and subgingival dental deposits and polishing the root surface in our clinic  the latest development of the world's leading manufacturers of dental equipment is used.

After the professional tooth cleaning (removal of tartar, etc.) and polishing the tooth surface, there becomes the complete or partial removal of the surface layer, enriched with fluoride, so that after polishing the tooth surface is coated with fluorine-containing preparation. This procedure is usually carried out in two or three visits.

Professional dental hygiene should be performed periodically, only in this case, the principle of prevention of teeth and periodontal diseases will be held. Depending on the type of dental deposits, the initial state of periodontal tissues the frequency of visits to the hygienist varies from 3 to 6 months.
