•
Endodontic procedures
•
Failure to follow the recommendations for environmental operating conditions, including input water temperature, could result in injury to patients or users.
•
The use of High Volume Saliva Evacuation to reduce the quantity of aerosols released during treatment is highly recommended.
•
Do not direct the air polishing stream at soft tissue or into the sulcus. Tissue emphysema has been reportedly caused when the air/water/powder stream was directed at the soft tissue or into the sulcus.
•
Where asepsis is required or deemed appropriate in the best professional judgment of the Dental Healthcare Professional, this product should not be used.
•
During boil-water advisories, this product should not be operated as an open water system (e.g. connected to a public water system). A Dental Healthcare Professional should disconnect the system from the central water source. The Cavitron DualSelect system can be attached to this unit and operated as a closed system until the advisory is cancelled. When the advisory is cancelled, flush all incoming waterlines from the public water system (e.g. faucets, waterlines and dental equipment) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions for a minimum of 5 minutes.
•
Prior to beginning treatment, patients should rinse with an antimicrobial such as Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12%. Rinsing with an antimicrobial reduces the chance of infection and reduces the number of microorganisms released in the form of aerosols during treatment.
Air Polishing Procedures •
Removal of a variety of extrinsic stains, e.g. tobacco, coffee, tea, chlorhexidine.
•
Prophylaxis of orthodontic patients.
•
Preparing tooth surfaces prior to bonding and sealant procedures.

•
Per FCC Part 15.21, changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
SECTION 4: Precautions
•
Like bristles of a toothbrush, ultrasonic inserts “wear” with use. Inserts with just 2 mm of wear lose about 50% of their scaling efficiency. In general it is recommended that ultrasonic inserts be discarded and replaced after one year of use to maintain optimal efficiency and avoid breakage. A DENTSPLY Professional Insert Efficiency Indicator is enclosed for your use.
•
If excessive wear is noted, or the insert has been bent, reshaped or otherwise damaged, discard the insert immediately.
•
Ultrasonic insert tips that have been bent, damaged, or reshaped are susceptible to in-use breakage and should be discarded and replaced immediately.
•
Retract the lips, cheeks and tongue to prevent contact with the insert tip whenever it is placed in the patient’s mouth.
4.1 System Precautions •
Do not place the system on or next to a radiator or other heat source. Excessive heat may damage the system’s electronics. Place the system where air is free to circulate on all sides and beneath it.
•
The system is portable, but must be handled with care when moving.
•
Equipment flushing and dental water supply system maintenance are strongly recommended. See Section 9: System Care.
Air Polishing •
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.
•
Close manual shut-off valve on the dental office water supply every night before leaving the office.
•
The use of an in-line water filter is recommended.
•
Never operate system without fluid flowing through handpiece.
•
Avoid use on cementum or dentin.
•
•
The use of an air dryer on the compressor line supplying the System will prevent condensation from forming in the air line which in turn may cause “caking” of the air polishing powder and clogging of the lines and air polishing nozzle.
Direct contact of prophy powder with surfaces and marginal areas of dental restorations should be avoided.
•
Set the air polishing powder flow control to the maximum (H) position only when it is necessary to remove particularly difficult stains. Return the powder flow control to the medium position upon the completion of the procedure.
•
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.
•
Cavitron® Prophy Powders are specially formulated for use in Cavitron® Air Polishing Systems. Do not use any other materials in the air polishing powder reservoir.
•
Empty the air polishing powder bowl at the end of the day to prevent “caking” of the powder and clogging of the lines and air polishing nozzle.
•
Never operate the air polishing mode without fluid flowing through the handpiece.
4.2 Procedural Precautions Ultrasonics •
The Cavitron JET Plus unit works with Cavitron inserts as a system, and was designed and tested to deliver maximum performance for all currently available Cavitron and Cavitron Bellissima™ brand ultrasonic inserts. Companies that manufacture, repair or modify inserts carry the sole responsibility for proving the efficacy and performance of their products when used as a part of this system. Users are cautioned to understand the operating limits of their insert before using in a clinical setting.

SECTION 5: Infection Control
•
Incoming water supply line pressure to the system must be 20 psi (138 kPa) to 40 psi (275 kPa). If your dental water system’s supply line pressure is above 40 psi, install a water pressure regulator on the water supply line to your Cavitron JET Plus Combination System.
5.1 General Infection Control
•
A manual shut-off valve on the dental water system supply line should be used so that the water can be completely shut-off when the office is unoccupied.
•
In addition to the water filter supplied, it is recommended that a filter in the dental water system supply line be installed so that any particulates in the water supply will be trapped before reaching the Cavitron system.
•
After the above installations are completed on the dental water supply system, the dental office water line should be thoroughly flushed prior to connection to the Cavitron system.
•
•
•
As with all dental procedures, use universal precautions (i.e., wear face mask, eyewear, or face shield, gloves and protective gown). For operator and patient safety, carefully practice the infection control procedures detailed in the Infection Control Information Booklet accompanying your System. Additional booklets can be obtained by calling Customer Service at 1-800-989-8826, Monday through Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. (Eastern Time). For areas outside the U.S., contact your local DENTSPLY Professional representative.
6.2 Air Line Requirements & Recommendations
As with high speed handpieces and other dental devices, the combination of water and ultrasonic vibration from the Cavitron JET Plus Combination System will create aerosols. Following the procedural guidelines in Section 8 of this manual can effectively control and minimize aerosol dispersion.
•
An air supply line with a user-replaceable filter assembly is supplied with your Cavitron JET Plus Combination System. A filter mounting bracket is included for hanging the air filter. The clear bowl should hang downward allowing for moisture separation and drainage of water from the air filter. See Section 9 System Care for replacement instructions.
•
Incoming air supply line pressure to the system must be 65 psig (448 kPa) to 100 psig (690 kPa). If your office air line pressure is above 100 psig (690 kPa), install an air pressure regulator on the supply line to your Cavitron JET Plus Combination System.
•
A manual shut-off valve on the office air supply line should be used so that the air line can be completely shut-off, and the line pressure relieved when the office is unoccupied.
•
The Cavitron System must be supplied with clean, dry air to help prevent water condensation from forming in the air supply line which may cause it to malfunction. In addition to the air filter supplied with your System, it is strongly recommended that an air dryer be used on the compressor line supplying the Cavitron System.
5.2 Water Supply Recommendations •
•
It is highly recommended that all dental water supply systems conform to applicable CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and ADA (American Dental Association) standards, and that all recommendations be followed in terms of flushing, chemical flushing, and general infection control procedures. See Sections 6.1 and 9. As a medical device, this product must to be installed in accordance with applicable local, regional, and national regulations, including guidelines for water quality (e.g. drinking water).

8.4 Patient Comfort Considerations Reasons for sensitivity
8.2 Patient Positioning For optimal access to both the upper and lower arches, the backrest of the chair should be adjusted as for other dental procedures. This assures patient comfort and clinician visibility. Have the patient turn his/her head to the right or left. Also position chin up or down depending upon the quadrant and surface being treated. Evacuate irrigant using either a saliva ejector or High Volume Evacuator (HVE).
•
Incorrect tip placement. The point should never be directed toward tooth root surfaces.
•
Not keeping tip in motion on tooth. Do not allow the insert to remain in a static position on any one area of the tooth. Change the insert’s path of motion.
•
Applying excessive pressure. Use a very light grasp and pressure, with a soft tissue fulcrum whenever possible, especially on exposed cementum.
•
If sensitivity persists, decrease power setting and/or move from the sensitive tooth to another and then return.

•
The recommended normal procedure is to clean 1-3 teeth with the air polishing spray (Foot Control depressed to the second position) and then rinse the area with water (Foot Control depressed to first position) to inspect the work site before proceeding to the next 1-3 teeth. If desired, the bleed air passing through the air polishing insert tip can be used to dry the work site during inspection (Foot Control released).
•
Use your free hand and the patient’s cheeks or lips to form a cup to contain aerosols. Tilt the patient’s head toward you to help prevent puddling in the cupped lip and minimize aerosol dispersion. Rinse excessive slurry from the patient’s mouth thoroughly and often.
•
Maintain a 2 to 4 mm tip-to-tooth operating distance. Keep the tip in constant circular motion and maintain a sweeping motion from interproximal to interproximal. When air polishing the anteriors, center the spray on the middle third of the tooth. The edge of the spray will clean the teeth to the gingiva. Refer to Section 8.9 Proper Angulations for all tooth surfaces.
•
Use adequate evacuation. Use of a high-speed suction (High-Volume Evacuator) with the aid of a dental assistant is recommended. When performing air polishing without the aid of a dental assistant, the use of a saliva ejector and/or aerosol-reduction device is recommended.
•
Do not aim directly at the soft tissue.
•
Avoid use on surfaces and marginal areas of dental restorations.
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. After completing each procedure, dispose of clear JetShield assembly according to Federal, State and local regulations. Properly disinfect all other JetShield accessories prior to next use.
