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.
