8.6 Performing JET Air Polishing
Procedures with JetShield
NOTE: Refer to the Infection Control Booklet supplied with
your System for general procedures to be followed at the begin-
ning of each day and between patients.
• Install 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 system's powder chamber.
• 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
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 them 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 the 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 the first position) helps reduce
the saline taste).
• Place a 2 x 2 on lip and position saliva ejector.
• Maintain a 3 to 4 mm insert tip-to-tooth operating distance.

Section 8: Techniques for Use con't
• 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 pud-
dling in the cupped lip and minimize aerosol dispersion.
• Use a saliva ejector or 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 gingiva.
• Do not aim directly at the soft tissue.
• Avoid prolonged use on polished metal surfaces as a
matte finish may result.
