Preparation
▶ Insert the reduced PROPHYflex P-nozzle K (recess) (Mat. no. 0.573.0002).
Add the powder
▶ Remove all residual cleansers from the device and container.
▶ Shake the refill package before adding powder.
▶ Add PROPHYflex Perio powder to the maximal filling level. Add the powder slowly
to avoid the formation of dust.
▶ Screw the container filled with the PROPHYflex Perio powder onto the PROPHY‐
flex.
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 In‐
structions for Use of the unit. Never use the powder jet device without water since
renders the mixture of air/powder more difficult to aspirate.
▶ Direct the jet into a washbasin until a homogeneous powder/water mixture is pro‐
duced.
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 into the corner of the patient's mouth such that it as‐
pirates underneath the tongue. Use the large suction cannula for aspiration of the
water/powder mixture bouncing off the tooth.
Treating the patient
Note
Please advise your patients that the intake of foods (tea, coffee or food items) in the
first 2-3 hours after the treatment may lead to discoloration of the teeth.
Note
The abrasion can be varied on devices in which the drive air can be adjusted with a
foot switch.
▶ Guide the nozzle to the edge of the sulcus and apply the jet for max. 5 -10 sec‐
onds for each side of a tooth (vestibular, mesial, oral, distal).
▶ Do not apply the jet to just one site, but move in circular motions in order to ach‐
ieve a homogeneous cleaning effect.
▶ You can vary the angle of the jet nozzle with respect to the tooth between 30
o
and
60
o
. The smaller the angle, the deeper the jet will penetrate into the pocket. Use
Prophyflex Perio powder in combination with the P-nozzle K only to a maximal
pocket depth of 5 mm.
