Precautions For Use; Important - Deldent JETPOLISHER 2000 Mode D'emploi

ENGLISH
periodontal pocketing with associated sequelae. Gauze or sponges
should be placed strategically to protect the soft tissues during
spraying.
When spraying the palatal surfaces of maxillary teeth or lingual
surfaces of mandibular teeth, gauze or sponge should be placed to
protect the lips or cheeks from inadvertent spray. The lingual
surfaces should similarly be protected when spraying facial or buccal
surfaces. Always apply a liberal smear of lubricating jelly around and
inside the lips and cheeks prior to airpolishing, and re-apply
periodically during treatment as necessary.
The handpiece tip should be held 3-5 mm from the tooth surface.
The angle of inclination of the tip varies with the position of the
tooth in the mouth and the surface being cleaned.
The ideal position will soon become apparent after a short period of
use. It is recommended to use direct vision where possible with the
patient's head tilted in the required position.
The recommended technique is for gentle manipulation of the lips
and cheeks to form a "shield" rather than retraction. This, together
with a strategically located suction tube, will reduce spray emitted
from the mouth, reduce soft tissue abrasion and make the procedure
more comfortable for the patient.
In addition, a small funnel attached to a suction tube and held close
to the mouth by the patient or chairside assistant, is very useful in
substantially reducing the amount of spray around the working area.
If placed correctly for each area that is being treated - this is learned
by clinical experience - it does not interfere with operator vision or
suction by the chairside assistant. Research has shown that a 1
minute rinse with a 0.2 % chlorhexidine gluconate mouth rinse by
the patient prior to treatment will reduce airborne oral bacteria to
insignificant clinical levels. (Worrall et.al.,Br.Dent.j. 163:118-119).

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

Some patients will notice a salty taste during treatment.
Airpolishing may damage composite restorations. Polishing around
composite restorations should be done with caution.

IMPORTANT

Patients on an a sodium restricted diet or having respiratory
problems, or patients with renal insufficiency, chronic diarrhea,or on
long term steroid or diuretic therapy , should consult their physician
before having treatment with the jetpolisher.Patients should not wear
contact lenses ,or should be supplied with a close fitting eye shield
during treatment.
The spray head tip should be moved in short backwards and forwards
strokes on the surface to be cleaned. As the gingival margin is
approached, the tip should be angulated so as to direct the stream
from a gingival direction onto the tooth so as to avoid direct
