A “PTS” unit in dentistry most commonly refers to an Air Polishing System.
It cleans teeth using a high-pressure jet of water, air, and fine powder (like glycine or sodium bicarbonate)
Its primary role is removing plaque, soft deposits, and stubborn surface stains gently.
The process is highly efficient, accessing pits and fissures better than traditional rotary polishing tools
smoother, cleaner tooth surface, making it an essential tool in modern It results prophylactic care.
The defining feature of GBT is the use of a disclosing solution (a dye) to visibly stain and highlight the invisible biofilm(plaque) before cleaning begins. This guides the clinician to clean only where bacteria are present, making the procedure highly targeted and efficient
Higher Quality Treatment: Increased magnification leads to greater precision, resulting in more accurate diagnosis.
Early Detection of Issues: Loupes allow the dentist to spot hairline cracks, tiny leaks around old fillings, and very early stages of decay, enabling less invasive, simpler treatment before the problem worsens.
Improved Success Rates: Procedures like root canals and complex restorative work are performed with greater visibility and detail, leading to better long-term success and longevity of the dental work.
Reduced Chair Time (Often): Because the field of view is clear, bright, and magnified, the clinician can work more efficiently and accurately, potentially reducing the total time you need to spend in the dental chair.
Enhanced Comfort and Safety: The precision offered by loupes minimizes accidental trauma to surrounding soft tissues (gums) during complex procedures.
Reduced or No Need for Anesthesia: The laser’s energy often seals nerve endings as it works, making virtually pain-free and often eliminating the need for injections and needles.
Minimally Invasive with Less Bleeding: The laser beam cauterizes and seals blood vessels immediately upon contact, leading to minimal to no bleeding, no need for sutures (stitches), and reduced post-operative swelling.
Faster Healing and Recovery: The laser provides superior sterilization of the treatment area and promotes biostimulation, which jump-starts cellular activity, resulting in significantly quicker healing times and less post-operative discomfort.
Less Risk of Infection: The high-energy light acts as a powerful antimicrobial agent, effectively eliminating bacteria in the surgical site reducing the risk of complications and secondary infections.
Reduced Anxiety (No Drill/Scalpel): For fearful patients, the absence of the mechanical noise and vibration of the drill or the sight of a traditional scalpel creates a more comfortable, relaxed, and less stressful dental experience.
Immediate Results: The powerful, light-activated gel delivers teeth that are often up to eight shades lighter in just a single appointment.
Professional Safety and Supervision: The entire process is conducted by a trained dental professional, ensuring soft tissues (gums and lips) are protected, minimizing the risk of irritation or damage.
Maximum Whitening Effectiveness: The system uses a highly concentrated professional-strength gel combined with an accelerating LED light, which breaks up deep, stubborn stains far more effectively.
Minimizes Sensitivity: The Zoom system is formulated to reduce post-treatment sensitivity
Confidence Boost and Convenience: The quick transformation provides an instant boost to self-esteem and is a time-efficient solution.
Eliminates Anxiety and Fear: It induces a state of deep relaxation and calmness, allowing patients with dental phobia or severe anxiety
Minimal or No Memory of Procedure: Patients often have little to no recollection of the procedure.
Increased Comfort for Long/Complex Procedures: It makes long complex, or multiple treatments tolerable, allowing the dentist to complete more work in one visit, which saves the patient time.
Heightened Pain Threshold/Cooperation: The sedated state helps raise the patient’s pain tolerance and minimizes movement or gag reflex, ensuring a smoother, safer, and more efficient treatment process.
Faster, Safer Recovery: Unlike general anesthesia, the patient remains conscious and able to breathe independently, allowing for a quicker return to alertness and a simpler recovery period.
High Implant Success Rate: The unit offers precise torque control (up to 70 Ncm or 80 Ncm), which is critical for safe and secure implant placement.
Reduced Bone Damage (Stress-Free Healing): Features like the Automatic Thread Cutter prevent excessive compression of the bone when inserting implants, which minimizes patient trauma and supports faster, less complicated healing
Safer Surgery near Nerves/Soft Tissue: The optional integration of Piezomed (ultrasonic bone cutting) ensures bone-selective preparation. This protects surrounding soft tissues, nerves, and membranes
Efficient and Predictable Treatment: The unit’s reliable power and precise control allow the dentist to execute surgical plans with high confidence and efficiency, resulting in shorter surgical times and a more predictable outcome for the patient.
No More Gag-Inducing Impressions: It completely eliminates the need for messy, bulky impression trays and unpleasant-taste
Shorter Appointment Times: The scanning process is fast, typically taking only a few minutes, which reduces chair time.
Superior Accuracy and Fit: The precise digital 3D model ensures a much better fit for restorations crowns, bridges leading to higher quality final result
Real-Time Visual Understanding: The patient can see the 3D image of their own mouth instantly on a screen. This visual aid improves patient education and understanding, making them an active partner in treatment decisions.
Guaranteed Infection Prevention: Its defining pre-vacuum phase ensures 100% steam penetration into every crevice, lumen, and porous material, eliminating all microorganisms.
Maximized Patient Safety: By meeting the highest international standards (EN 13060) for sterilization, it provides the ultimate assurance that all instruments used are completely sterile, preventing cross-contamination and the spread of disease
Sterilization of All Tools: It is the only tabletop autoclave capable of safely and effectively sterilizing complex dental tools (drills/handpieces, surgical kits), ensuring even the most intricate instruments are safe for reuse.
Sterile Instrument Storage. It enables the effective sterilization of wrapped and pouched instruments, meaning the tools remain sterile in their packaging until the exact moment they are opened for your procedure.
Confidence in Practice Hygiene: The use of a Class 8 autoclave demonstrates the dental clinic’s commitment to the highest level of patient safety and hygiene, building trust and confidence in the quality of care.
Improves Accessibility: It allows diagnosis to be brought directly to homebound, elderly, or institutionalized patients who have difficulty traveling
Reduces Patient Movement: Eliminates the need for the patient to move to a separate X-ray room, increasing comfort and safety.
Faster Diagnosis and Treatment: Since the dentist can take images chairside and review them instantly, diagnosis and treatment planning are expedited within a single appointment.
Lower Radiation Exposure: Modern portable digital units are designed to operate with a lower dose of radiation than older, conventional wall-mounted systems.
Versatile Use: Essential for non-traditional settings like mobile dentistry, forensics, or operating rooms (for immediate checks during complex surgery or general anesthesia).
High-Precision Treatment Planning: The 3D view accurately maps bone density, nerve pathways, and sinus location, ensuring dental implants, wisdom tooth removals, and complex surgeries are planned with supreme precision, minimizing risk.
Early and Accurate Diagnosis: It can detect issues invisible to 2D X-rays, leading to earlier, less invasive, and more effective treatment
Enhanced Surgical Safety: By locating vital anatomical structures (like nerves and sinuses) in 3D, the CBCT scan dramatically reduces the risk of surgical complications and accidental nerve damage.
Quick, Comfortable Scan: The process is fast, non-invasive, and often done in a comfortable seated or standing position, significantly reducing anxiety and eliminating the need for complex, claustrophobic equipment.
Lower Radiation Dose: CBCT scanners use a significantly lower dose of radiation compared to traditional hospital-grade medical CT scanners, ensuring patient safety while providing superior diagnostic detail.
