CAUTION
Hazard from the use of PROPHYflex on the gingiva.
The gingiva may be damaged.
▶ Do not direct the powder jet toward the gingiva. Always work from pink to white.
The powder spray can be guided from the occlusal margin to the cervical margin of
the tooth without danger of injuring the dental alveolus and the ligaments. Discolouring
the biofilm of plaque, for example with erythrosine solution, is a very efficient, noticea‐
ble tool for limiting the blasting time to the required local amount as the red is re‐
moved. The jet should not directly contact the gingival margin, exposed tooth necks,
or the mucosa. The handpiece tip should be held approximately 3-5 mm from the sur‐
face of the tooth.
It is important to position the cannula at an angle of 10
o
to 60
o
in relation to the treated
tooth surface to generate a rolling effect and thereby optimise the absorption of the
spherical particles. At a flat angle, the Pearls roll off the tooth surface, and the porous
structure of the Pearls absorbs and efficiently removes the plaque over a wide area.
The abrasion can vary on devices in which the drive air can be adjusted with a foot
switch.
