rdquo;Cavitation" is the rapid formation and collapse of millions of tiny bubbles (or cavities) in a liquid. Cavitation is produced by the alternating high and low pressure waves generated by high frequency (ultrasonic) sound. During the low pressure phase, these bubbles grow from microscopic size until, during the high pressure phase, they are compressed and implode.

A pump operates by excavating fluid through its discharge. This fluid is replaced by other fluid, and the pump pumps. If there is some restriction and the fluid cannot replace the excavated fluid fast enough, a vacuum is created and the fluid can "boil". The boiling is water vapor filling the void creased as the bubbles form and collapse. This is cavitation. Dredge performance is a function of the slurry specific gravity. The higher the specific gravity, the higher the production.

with any type of surgery, there are risks. Fortunately, cavitation surgery is relatively safe, but some of the post-operative risks are listed below.

Cavitation is a frequently used term for a NICO lesion, which stands for neuralgia-inducing cavitational osteonecrosis. The textbook, “Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology,” by Neville, Damm, Allen and Bouquot, defines it as a necrotic lesion in the jawbone, which is usually associated with facial pain. While the cause is unproven, it is thought that such a lesion may form at the base of an infected tooth or in an extraction site that didn’t fully heal.
