AquaCare Treatments – Fissure Caries Treatment

AquaCare Treatments – Fissure Caries Treatment 08 Mar 2016 0 Comments in Blog by Velopex Settings: Media – 29 micron Aluminium Oxide (blue container) or Sylc (green container). Nozzle – 0.6mm diameter. Power – 4 bar. Media Flow – Slightly under midway position. The AquaCare is of particular use for treating fissure caries. Hold the cutting nozzle about 2mm from the surface of the tooth and direct the particulate beam at the caries. Use it in short bursts, sweeping it along the vein until all the dark caries are removed and the sound tooth structure is revealed. The beauty of the procedure is its speed and the absolute control possible, ensuring that the minimum amount of tooth structure is removed. The newly prepared surface, being dry and abraded, is now ready for restorative materials. Normally local anaesthetic is not necessary for the above treatment. NOTE: If there is soft caries present in the dentine, a rotary instrument may have to be used, or use the Sodium Bicarbonate on “cleaning” setting. This is because soft and moist caries are resilient and therefore not so effectively removed by the use of fluid abrasion. NOTE: Stop the process periodically to check progress visually.
