Combined mechanical scalers and polishers are still available on the market, but they limit dental procedures to prophylaxis with no possibility for surgical extraction, which is limiting and will prove insufficient over time (Figure 1.20). Simple devices may be used in emergency situations, when the major equipment is out of order. Therefore, it is worth considering investment in a dental unit equipped with low‐ and high‐speed handpieces and a three‐way syringe. Such a configuration is quite common and easily available on the market. Some manufacturers offer scalers separately, while others provide the scaling handpieces as part of a dental unit. Many units have their own compressors, some with wall‐mounted versions that requires attachment into a central compressed‐air system or vacuum (Figure 1.21).

Progress in technology and continuous cooperation between manufacturers and specialists are producing better and better solutions for veterinary dentistry. Selection of the optimal supplier is an individual decision. Before that decision is made, a trial is strongly recommended.
