8.8 Proper Angulation of the Air Polishing Insert without JetShield
Recommended angulation on
the anterior teeth is 60° with
the tip aimed at the middle
third of the tooth surface.
Section 9: System Care
It is recommended that you perform the following maintenance
procedures to help minimize bio-film formation in the lavage
path of your Cavitron JET system which could affect the lavage
flow to the ultrasonic insert and JET air-polishing insert and
scaling and polishing performance.
9.1 Daily Maintenance
Start-Up Procedures at the beginning of the day:
1. Open the manual shut-off valve on the dental water supply
system.
2. With the system OFF, unscrew the powder chamber cap.
Verify the powder bowl is empty. Turn the Unit ON for
15 seconds to eliminate residual powder or moisture in
the lines. Turn the system OFF.
3. Shake the powder in the storage jar to create an even
consis-tency of powder mixture.
4. Pour the powder into the chamber until it reaches the
top of the center tube.
5. Secure the cap on the powder chamber
6. Turn the system ON. Hold the Handpiece (without an insert
installed) over a sink or drain, activate the Foot Control,
and flush the water line at maximum water flow for at
least 2 minutes.
7. Place a sterilized Cavitron
Airpolishing Insert into the Handpiece and adjust the Power
and Lavage Flow as required. For the JET mode, the powder
flow can be adjusted.
Between Patients:
1. Remove the Cavitron Ultrasonic Insert or JET Airpolishing
Insert (clean using the wire cleaning tool). Sterilize.
2. Set Water Control to highest setting. Activate the System and
flush at least 30 seconds.
