AIR-FLOW PLUS TREATMENT

Indications

The AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS Dental Handpiece is a dental handpiece intended for use in the cleaning and polishing of teeth by the projection of a mixture
of water, air, and Hu-Friedy & EMS prophylaxis powder onto the tooth surface. The device removes soft deposits and areas of discoloration and can be used
to prepare teeth for dental procedures such as the placement of composite fillings, porcelain inlays, and laminate veneers. The device can be used to clean
implant abutments and to clean teeth prior to treatments such as shade matching, fluoridation, and bleaching. The device can also be used to degrease crowns
and bridges prior to placement and clean fixed bands and brackets on orthodontic appliances.
The AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS is intended for patients suffering from periodontal disease.
The AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PLUS is indicated for the non-surgical removal of subgingival plaque in pockets up to 4 mm after initial periodontal treatment.

Contra-indications

In order to avoid any risk of emphysema, hypersensitivity, bleeding and patient uncomfort, the use of supragingival powders (Hu-Friedy & EMS CLASSIC,
CLASSIC COMFORT and SOFT) is strictly forbidden during subgingival treatments (contacts with soft tissues, dentine, cementum).
Patients suffering from chronic bronchitis or asthma must not, under any circumstances, be treated with an air polishing device. The jet of air and powder
could cause respiratory difficulties.
Predisposed persons may be sensitive to the powder. If allergic reactions are observed, stop using the product and completely remove it.
Do not direct the jet of powder toward fillings, or crown and bridgework as this could damage the restorations.
Do not use the AIR-FLOW method on severely inflamed tissues.
Never use an abrasive powder i.e. silica or alumina based. This would damage the unit.
The powders provided by Hu-Friedy & EMS are especially designed for use with the unit. Do not use powders from other manufacturers as this could
damage the unit or could adversely affect its efficiency.
