Hereinafter, a method of controlling the ultrasonic scaler according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

First, when the ultrasound scaler 300 enters the oral cavity, ultrasound waves are transmitted to the tongue using an ultrasound sensor (not shown) (410), and ultrasound waves transmitted to the tongue are received (420).

At this time, since the sickle is piled on the drowsy in the tongue, the ultrasound reflected on the tongue may mean the ultrasound reflected on the surface of the drowsy.

If ultrasonic waves reflected from the tongue are received, the reception time of the ultrasonic waves received is measured 430 and the reception time difference between the reception time of ultrasonic waves reflected from the measured tongue and the previously received time is calculated 440.

At this time, the pre-stored reception time may mean the reception time of the ultrasound reflected at the tip of the cow head having the average length.

On the other hand, the ultrasound reflected on the tine may include ultrasound reflected on the surface of the tongue on the tongue or on the surface of the tongue accumulated on the tongue or between the tongue. However, in order to detect the thickness of the suture accumulated on the tongue, it is necessary to receive the ultrasonic wave reflected from the surface of the tongue accumulated on the tongue on the tongue. Therefore, the ultrasound reflected on the tongue, The reception time difference between the reception time of the ultrasonic wave having the reception time shorter than the previously stored reception time and the reception time previously stored is calculated.

The calculated reception time difference value is compared with the previously stored reference time data, and the thickness of the reference time corresponding to the calculated reception time difference value is detected (450).

At this time, the query data may mean data in which the thickness of the query is classified according to the difference in reception time.

The ultrasonic scaler 300 removes the surface of the ultrasonic scaler 300 corresponding to the size of the ultrasonic scaler tip 100 so that the ultrasonic scaler 300 has a region corresponding to the size of the ultrasonic scaler tip 100 It is possible to detect the thickness of the average gait by transmitting an ultrasonic wave at predetermined intervals in an area corresponding to a predetermined size.

The detected thickness and the pre-stored frequency data and the vibration interval data are compared with each other, and the frequency and the vibration interval corresponding to the thickness of the detected condition are detected (460).

In this case, the frequency data may be data in which the frequencies of the ultrasonic vibrators (not shown) are classified according to the thickness of the ultrasonic vibrators, and the vibration interval data is data in which the vibration intervals of the ultrasonic vibrators . ≪ / RTI >

The vibration frequency and the interval at which the ultrasonic vibrator (not shown) vibrates according to the frequency and the vibration interval detected to vibrate the ultrasonic scaler tip 100 mounted on the ultrasonic scaler 300 according to the thickness of the surface of the ultrasonic vibrator (470).

The technique of removing the tongue in the tongue through the ultrasonic scaler equipped with the scaler tip formed in the shape of penetrating the center part can be implemented in an application or implemented in the form of a program command which can be executed through various computer components And recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium may include program commands, data files, data structures, and the like, alone or in combination.

The program instructions recorded on the computer-readable recording medium may be ones that are specially designed and configured for the present invention and are known and available to those skilled in the art of computer software.

Examples of computer-readable media include magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks and magnetic tape, optical recording media such as CD-ROMs and DVDs, magneto-optical media such as floptical disks, media, and hardware devices specifically configured to store and execute program instructions such as ROM, RAM, flash memory, and the like.
