These include heating of the tooth during scaling, vibrational hazards, possible platelet damage by cavitation, effects of electromagnetic fields on pacemakers, auditory damage to patient and most importantly the production of splatter and aerosols. The possible threat that may be inherited by airborne material during production of aerosols and splatter include possible risk to patient and dentist. The ultrasonic scaler is the greatest producer of contaminated aerosols, therefore it is necessary to recognize and minimize or eliminate these possible hazards to the greatest feasible extent within a clinical situation. This paper provides an insight into some of the research conducted in these areas of associated hazards and different methods to reduce it with relatively simple and inexpensive procedures
