Woodpecker PT-B Dental Scaler & Air Polisher Combo

The Woodpecker PT-B model combines air polishing and scaling into one smart system with an easy to understand and adjust touch screen display. The PTA is your complete prophylaxis solution. Air polishing uses compressed air to spray powder and water on the tooth surface to remove surface adhesives such as plaque. It is comfortable for the patient, powerful and does not scratch the tooth surface.

The all new PT-B scaler and air polisher combo includes many upgrades including 1) auto-preheating of the water and 2) a wireless bluetooth foot pedal.

What is Dental Biofilm Removal?

As you are aware, the main factor for dental caries, periodontal and peri-implant infections relates to dental biofilm.

Are you already doing the necessary steps to remove biofilm? Maybe……but it could be done more effectively by adding controlled air polishing to your process.

An important step in properly removing dental biofilm is to utilize a proper air polishing and ultrasonic scaling solution such as the Woodpecker PTB. The Woodpecker PTB delivers air polishing and scaling in one smart, affordable and effective device.

The process of biofilm removal is a sequential removal of plaque and calculus by initially detecting it with a disclosing agent followed by the use of an air abrasive powder/polisher for the removal of plaque and stains. Following the air polishing step, the subgingival plaque and calculus are removed with a specialized nozzle and, if required, ultrasonic scaling with a specialized tip is performed based on the clinical application.

Adding air polishing to your hygiene routine will allow you to remove biofilm, stains and early calculus prior to utilizing an ultrasonic scaler. Air polishing will allow the practitioner to remove biofilm supra and subgingivally, as well as enamel stains, with the provided Woodpecker powder - or another powder brand of your choice (see acceptable powder types/μm below). Biofilm will also be removed effectively from surrounding soft tissue during the air polishing process. Studies have proven air polishing is vastly superior to conventional biofilm removal with hand instruments.

After the utilizing the Woodpecker Air Polishing handpiece from the PTB model, any remaining calculus can be removed with the ultrasonic scaler handpiece. The Woodpecker PTB combines air polishing and scaling into one smart and effective device.

The PTB model is your professional prophylaxis solution for biofilm management for your hygiene team for general dentistry, implant maintenance, orthodontic appliances + more! Deliver better patient care and work more efficiently by saving time - adding more hygiene patients in your schedule. Our number one feedback on the Woodpecker PTB product is how much time is saved by hygienists compared to their prior hygiene process.

Due to the large volume or chair types and unique connections for each brand of dental chair, the required adapter to use this product may not be provided depending on your brand and connection types. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us for guidance, but we have found that several offices do have their local technician install the product. The exact adapter you may need may not be included.

Tubing is generally measured by the OD Outside Diameter because it is used with push-to-connect fittings. The tubing that comes with the APA, PTB & PTA models is 1/4” OD.

If you require another adapter size (e.g., 3/8” size) for your specific chair model you must use one compatible with a 1/4” size tubing to use the tubing provided with the product.



If a 3/8” connection is needed (which is not provided by Woodpecker) we recommend one like this part #0013.

Then to use the Woodpecker tubing you will need to select one of the connections below along with the 3/8” part #0013.

Part #0030 is a good option to get the 1/4" tubing to adapt up to the 3/8 tubing to connect the the 3/8” QD.

Or option 2 is to use part #0044 this will attach to the QD and then the 1/4" tubing also.
