Raspaje. Sinónimo: detartraje


Definition from own experience or research:
El raspaje consiste en la eliminación del sarro o cálculo con un instrumento llamado cureta o con un cavitador ultrasónico o neumático que actúa a través de vibraciones.

Esta definición me la brindó mi padre, odontólogo con experiencia. La palabra raspaje es la más frecuente en el ámbito académico.

Example sentence(s):
  • A continuación, se inicia el detartraje mediante un aparato llamado de ultrasonido. Esta aparatología odontológica consiste en una vibración que, junto con agua, desprende el tártaro de las superficies dentales. En ocasiones, para poder eliminar por completo los depósitos calcificados, son necesarias curetas. Se trata de instrumentos manuales para realizar el mismo procedimiento, la tartrectomía. - Estudio Dental Barcelona
