PRODUCT ADVANTAGES:
1. Removes stain 3.15 times faster than a curette.
2. Removes up to 100 % of biofilm
3. More comfortable for patient
4. Greater access for malaligned teeth and pits / fissures
5. No heat generated
6. Stain removal made easier
7. No pressure against teeth
8. Non direct contact procedure
9. Enhanced clinician ergonomics
10. Increased efficiency- less time than traditional polishing
methods
DENTAL APPLICATIONS DETAILS:
1. Prophylaxis- painlessly removes plaque, soft deposits and
discolorations, even from interproximal areas; removes
stains and colorations for better caries diagnosis

2. Orthodontics- cleans fixed bands and brackets, prepares

tooth surface for bonding, removes bracket adhesive
3. Pedodontics (sealing of fissures)- removes organic
debris and gram anaerobic bacteria; reduces the likelihood
of caries forming under sealant
4. Prosthetics & Preventive Dentistry- removes superficial
contaminations and smear layer; assures that composites,
porcelain inlays, crowns, bridges, and laminated veneers
bond properly and are long lasting after air-flow, teeth show
natural color, helping match exact shades
5. Aesthetic Dentistry- improves bleaching
eliminating bleach blocking smear layer
