  • Publication number: 20220160465
    Abstract: A dental treatment apparatus includes a holder, a high-frequency signal generation circuit, a detector, and a control circuit. The holder holds an electrode placed at a dental treatment site. A power supply energizes the electrode with a high-frequency current. A detector detects a current value which energizes the electrode. A control circuit causes, based on the current value detected by detector, the power supply to control a current value of the high-frequency current which energizes the electrode.
