Precautions for Air Polishing Procedures
• Only set the air polishing powder flow control to the maximum position (H) when it is necessary to
remove particularly difficult stains. Return the powder flow control to the medium position upon the
completion of the procedure.
• Avoid use on restorative dental materials.
• Avoid prolonged use on cementum or dentin.
• Avoid prolonged use on polished metal surfaces as a matte finish may result.
• Patients who have severe respiratory illness should consult their physician before undergoing air
polishing prophylaxis procedures.
• Patients wearing contact lenses should remove them prior to air polishing treatment.
• JET Air Polishing Insert nozzles that have been bent, damaged or re-shaped, are susceptible to in-use
breakage and should be discarded and replaced immediately.
• Check O-ring and threads on powder bowl cap to ensure a tight seal. If O-ring or threads are worn,
replace immediately.
• Residual prophy powder in threads can result in excessive wear and disengagement of the cap during
unit operation. Be sure to clean threads regularly as per Section 9: System Care.
