Air Abrasion has proven to offer the greatest patient comfort and the most conservative treatment available. For clinicians who are performing small composite restorations or pit & fissure preps, nothing will add as much productivity to the practice!
Greatest Patient Comfort
Treat without anesthesia! Treat without the whine of the drill! The stress to patient and to you, is reduced greatly.
Most Productive
Treat upon diagnosis . Treat multiple quadrants within minutes. Save the time required to give the injection. With reduced air pressure, tough stains may be removed rapidly.
Treat upon diagnosis
Treat multiple quadrants in one visit
Treat without anesthesia
Diagnose lesions in darkened grooves
Enhance DIAGNOdent* accuracy
Remove tough stains with ease
Air Abrasion Applications
Small cavity prep, Class l - Vl
Prep conservative incipient lesion
Prep pit & fissure
Clean darkened grooves
Remove debris from bur cut preps
Repair intraoral porcelain fractures
Enhance bond to dentin & enamel
Etch all metal, composites & amalgam restorations
Etch orthodontic brackets & bands
Removing only the decay, much faster than enamel. Air Abrasion leaves the healthy tooth structure virtually untouched. Air Abrasion is truly the most minimally invasive technique.
Air Abrasion nozzle tips are half the size of the smallest bur
A Fissure bur is a huge intrusion compared to Air Abrasion
Air-abrasion margin. Note smooth texture increases surface area for much stronger bonds, ultra clean, rounded margin (white arrows) with no cracking or chipping!
Drill margin. Note chipping (white arrows) and cracking (red arrow) caused by the rotary cutting action of the drill.
The Best Air Abrasion Unit Is the Crystalair Ultralow
Preps without the powder mess of other units.
The only unit to offer precise control at low pressure. With independent powder feed & air pressure that actually works, rather than the a lot or not enough
The only Unit that can prep twice as fast with Helium!
