CAUTION
Risk of increased development of emphysema.
If the pressure is too high during the treatment, there is an increased risk of
emphysema developing.
▶Do not select the highest level for the treatment.
▶The powder quantity can be controlled at three levels using the adjusting
ring on the PROPHYflex 4.
ðSelect the middle level for the treatment.
Add the powder
▶Remove all residues of other cleaning powders from the device and con-
tainer.
▶Shake the bottle before adding powder.
▶Add PROPHYflex Perio Powder to the powder container up to the marked
level. Add the powder slowly to avoid the formation of dust.
▶Screw the container filled with the PROPHYflex Perio Powder onto the PRO-
PHYflex.
Settings on the powder jet unit
▶Aim the jet nozzle at a wet washbasin from a distance of approx. 20 cm.
▶Set the quantities of water and air/powder for treatment as described in the
Instructions for Use of the unit. Never use the powder jet device without
water since this would render the mixture of air/powder more difficult to as-
pirate.
▶Direct the jet into a washbasin until a homogeneous powder/water mixture
is produced.
Getting the patient ready
▶Apply some Vaseline® ointment to the patient's lips. This prevents the lips
from becoming dry and cracking.
▶Hook the small saliva ejector in the corner of the patient's mouth such that
the saliva is extracted from under the tongue. Use a large suction cannula
for aspiration of the water/powder mixture bouncing off the tooth.
