5. Place ejector tube clip around ejector tube and handpiece cable such that the cables drape together for
patient and clinician comfort.
6. (Optional)Place handpiece clip such that the clip is holding the JetShield ™ evacuation tube in place
along handpiece as shown in applicable Figure 3.
After completion of each procedure,remove JetShield ™ cup assembly and dispose of according to
applicable regulations. Wipe-disinfect all other components before next use.
8.6 Performing JET Air Polishing Procedures with JetShield™
NOTE: Refer to the Infection Control card supplied with your System for
general procedures to be followed at the beginning of each day and between
patients.
• Adjust JetShield™ on the Cavitron® Air Polishing Insert nozzle as
indicated on instructions provided.
• Select the appropriate amount of powder using the dial on the air polishing
systems’s powder bowl.
• 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 on future patients.
8.7 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 thte 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 first
position) helps reduce the saline taste.
• Place a 2 x 2 gause on lip and position saliva ejector.
• Maintain a 2 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 saliva ejector or High Volume Evacuator (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 gingival.
