8.4 Performing JET Air Polishing
Procedures with JetShield
™
NOTE:
Refer to the Infection Control Booklet supplied
with your System for general procedures to be followed at
the beginning of each day and between patients.
• Install JetShield
™
on the Cavitron Air Polishing Insert
nozzle as indicated on instructions provided.
• Select the appropriate amount of powder using the front
panel control on the Cavitron
™
PROPHY-JET
®
air
polishing system.
• Verify that slurry exits from the cup when held outside
the mouth; adjust saliva ejector as necessary.
• Divide the tooth visually into segments to polish
(incisal, middle, and gingival).
• Apply cup to middle third with light pressure
so cup flares slightly.
• Pivot nozzle inside the cup to adapt to incisal,
gingival, mesial and distal surfaces.
• Apply two seconds of spray for each segment of the
tooth, releasing the Foot Control each time. If spray
escapes, readjust cup to maintain flat contact with
tooth surface. Adjust angle by pivoting nozzle inside
the JetShield
™
cup.
• The suction from the JetShield
™
can be used to remove
excess saliva from the patient's mouth.
• After completing each procedure, dispose of clear
JetShield
™
assembly according to Federal, State, and
local regulations. Properly disinfect all other JetShield
™
accessories prior to reusing them on future patients.
8.5 Performing Air Polishing
procedures without JetShield
™
• The recommended normal procedure is to clean
2-3 teeth with the air polishing spray (foot control
depressed to the second position) and then rinse the
area with water only (foot control depressed to the first
position) to inspect the work site before proceeding to
the next 2-3 teeth. If desired, the bleed air (foot control
released) passing through the air polishing insert tip can
be used to dry the work site during inspection.
• Flushing the patient’s tongue with water only (foot
control depressed to the first position) helps reduce
the saline taste.
• Place a 2x2 on patient’s lip and position saliva ejector.
• Maintain a 3 to 4 mm insert tip-to-tooth operating distance.
• The patient’s lip should be held between the thumb and
index finger of your free hand and pulled out and up,
or down, to form a “cup”. Do not retract the lips.
• Tilt the patient’s head toward you to help prevent
puddling in the cupped lip and minimize aerosol
dispersion.
• Use a saliva ejector or HVE.
• In the upper anterior region, use the upper lip and your
hand as a shield to help contain the aerosol spray.
• In the posterior regions, use the cheek to help contain
aerosol spray.
• When air polishing the facial surfaces of the anteriors,
center the spray on the middle third of the tooth and
use a constant circular motion. The edge of the spray
will clean the teeth to the gingiva.
• Do not aim directly at the soft tissue.
• Avoid prolonged use on polished metal surfaces
as a matte finish may result.
