powder and can be used on patients who are on
sodium restricted diets.
Section 3: Precautions

3.1 Precautions for All Systems

Ultrasonics
• 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
4.3: Water Supply Recommendations.
• Close the coolant water shut-off valve to the System
every night before leaving the office. The use of an
in-line water filter is recommended.
Air Polishing
• 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 pol-
ishing nozzle.
Brand Prophy Powders

1.2 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.

2.2 Warnings

Persons fitted with cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators and other
active implanted medical devices, have been cautioned that some
types of electronic equipment might interfere with the operation
of the device. Although no instance of interference has ever been
reported to DENTSPLY, we recommend that the handpiece and
cables be kept at least 6 to 9 inches (15 to 23 cm) away from any
device and their leads during use.
• There are a variety of pacemakers and other medical
implanted devices on the market. Clinicians should
contact the device manufacturer or the patient's
physician for detailed information about the device.
• 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 tissues or into the sulcus.
®
• Cavitron Prophy Powders are specially formulated for
®
use in Cavitron Air Polishing Systems. Do not attempt
to use any other cleaning materials in the air polishing
powder reservoir.
• Empty the air polishing powder chamber at the end of
the day to prevent "caking" of the powder and clogging
the lines and air polishing tip.
3.2 Precautions for Ultrasonic
Prophylaxis Procedures
• Like a toothbrush, ultrasonic inserts "wear out" 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 2 mm
of wear to maintain optimal efficiency and avoid breakage.
• 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.
