This matter is particularly important for patients who are more sensitive to pain, as – based on my experience – they are are not really well cared for either with manual curettage or with machine instruments, regardless of whether we are talking about acoustic scalers, magnetorestrictive ultrasonic scalers, piezoelectric ultrasonic scalers or jet powder devices.
