The ultrasonic UV Denture Dome utilizes a combination of ultrasonic vibrations and ultraviolet light to clean and sanitize dental instruments. Here's a general breakdown of the process:
Ultrasonic Cleaning: The dome uses high-frequency sound waves to create tiny bubbles in the cleaning solution. These bubbles collapse, generating a powerful force that dislodges debris and contaminants from the instruments.
UV Disinfection: Once the instruments are cleaned, the dome's UV light is activated. UV-C radiation, a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light, is known for its ability to kill microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The UV light penetrates the surfaces of the instruments, destroying the DNA of these harmful organisms.
