An increasing number of dental practitioners and initiatives for awareness about oral health drive the market growth. Moreover, demand for ultrasonic scalers is likely to emerge as a significant future trend in the market during the forecast period. However, the high cost of dental treatment hampers the dental scalers market growth. Technological advances have led to the demand for ultrasonic scalers. It relies on low-frequency soundwaves to vibrate against your teeth, effectively removing difficult tartar buildup. There are two types of ultrasonic scalers. The magnetostrictive model operates at ~25,000-30,000 cycles per second, the head moving in a circular motion. The piezoelectric scaler moves at 28,000-36,000 cycles per second while the tip vibrates back and forth against the tooth.
Benefits of ultrasound dental scalers over traditional scalers include lesser pain compared to traditional scaling tools. Sensitive sum tissues experience reduced trauma with ultrasound dental scalers. The dental scalers are more effective at removing tartar buildup than a manual scraper. The spray tip allows cleaning debris off teeth as the dentist works. Sprayers can administer water or an antibacterial agent efficiently. Surface stains can be removed in the process while giving teeth a whiter sheen. The time taken to remove the tartar buildup using an ultrasound dental scaler is less than that of a traditional scaler. These scalers require less water during dental scaling procedures
Moreover, ultrasonic scalers ensure excellent stain removal compared to hand scaling. All these benefits of ultrasonic dental scalers propel the dental scalers market growth.
Such aforementioned factors are expected to boost the growth of the dental scalers market from 2022 to 2028.

A buildup of plaque (biofilm) can harden into tartar and, if left untreated, can lead to gum disease and tooth decay. Scaling is removing tartar from the teeth' supra- and subgingival surfaces. Scaling can be performed using a combination of mechanical and hand instruments. Dental scalers make it easier to clean hard-to-reach areas through their narrow tips at both ends. The small and thin sickle ends are uniquely equipped to clean supragingival and subgingival calculus. The dental scalers have multiple scraping edges that can be used on the medial and distal portions of the tooth to remove plaque, tartar, and more.
