Section 1: Indications
Section 2: Contraindications and Warnings
Section 3: Precautions
3.1 Precautions for All Systems
• DonotplacetheSystemonor nextto aradiatoror otherheat
source. Excessive heat may damage the System’s electronics.
PlacetheSystemwhere air is free to circulate on all sides and
beneath it.
• The Systemis portable,but mustbe handledwith care when
moving.
•Equipment flushing and dental water supply system
maintenanceare strongly recommended.
• Close the water shut-off valve to the System every night
before leaving the office. The use of an in-line water filter is
recommended.
• The use of an air dryer on the compressor line supplying the
System will prevent condensation from forming in the air
line which in turn may cause “caking” of the air polishing
cleaning powder and clogging the lines at the air polishing
insert tip.
• Cavitron®Prophy-Jet®Cleaning Powder is a water-soluble
sodium bicarbonate powder specially formulated for use in
Cavitron®Air Polishing Systems. Do not attempt to use any
other cleaning materials in the air polishing powder
reservoir.
• Empty the air polishing powder reservoir and dispose of its
contents at the end of the day to prevent “caking”of the
powder and clogging the lines and air polishing tip.
2.1 Contraindications
•InsertNozzleforbestperformance,useonlytheCavitron™
Air Polishing JET manufactured by Dentsply®Preventive
Care.
• Use only Cavitron®Prophy-Jet®Cleaning Powder.
1.1 Air polishing procedures:
• Removal of a variety of extrinsic stains, e.g., tobacco, coffee
& tea, chlorhexidine.
• Prophylaxis of orthodontic patients.
• Preparing tooth surfaces prior to bonding and sealant
procedures.
2.2 Warnings
• Do not direct the air polishing stream at soft tissue or into
the sulcus. Tissue emphysema has been reportedly caused
when the air/water/powder stream was directed at the soft
tissues or into the sulcus.
3.2 Precautions for Air Polishing Procedures
• Only set the air polishing powder flow control to the
maximumposition(fully Clockwise ) when it is necessary to
remove particularly difficult stains. Return the powder flow
control to the medium position upon the completion of the
procedure.
• Avoid prolonged or excessive use on restorative dental
materials.
• Avoid prolonged use on cementum or dentin.
• Avoid prolonged use on polished metal surfaces as a matte
finish may result.
• Patients who are on a restricted sodium diet, or have severe
respiratory illness, should consult their physician before
undergoing air polishing prophylaxis procedures.
• Patients wearing contact lenses should remove them prior
to air polishing treatment.
