The procedure for the preparation of a cavity with the AquaCare Twin will depend on
the size of the cavity and the extent and type of caries.
For small cavities, the cutting nozzle should be held at an angle of between 35 degrees
and 45 degrees to the surface being abraded, and about 2mm or 3mm from the
surface.
The best approach is to use a slow circular motion over the affected area until sound
tooth structure is revealed. The tooth is now ready to be filled in the normal way.
For larger cavities, a combination of the AquaCare Twin and a rotary instrument may
be of benefit. This is because fluid abrasion is a technique designed to produce a very
conservative cut with a working area of less than 2mm diameter. Finally, the surface of
the cavity should then be finished using the AquaCare Twin to ensure a suitable key for
the bonding agent.
NOTE: Fluid abrasion is not a suitable technique for shaping undercuts for amalgam
restorations. Traditional rotary instruments should be used for this application.
AquaCare Twin: Operation
Angle 35-45°. Approx. 2-3 mm
away from the surface.
