%X Introduction: This project was a crucial step in exploring the use of ultrasound in odontology, focusing specifically on its effectiveness in scaling and decontaminating dental surfaces. Materials and Methods: The literature search was carried out using a combination of keywords and Boolean equations to optimize the accuracy and relevance of the results obtained. Results: The results obtained provided important insights into the advantages of this innovative approach. Discussion: Analysis of the data clearly showed that ultrasound was significantly effective in removing plaque and bacterial biofilms. Another key aspect of the use of ultrasound in dentistry was its positive impact on the preservation of surrounding tissues. Unlike some more traditional methods, ultrasound enabled more targeted action, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Conclusion: Despite the promising results obtained in this article, it was clear that further research was needed to deepen our understanding of the effectiveness of ultrasound in dentistry. Larger-scale clinical studies were required to validate the results obtained, focusing on various patient populations and assessing their long-term impact. Advancement, improving clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. Continued research is essential to maximize its clinical potential.
