JetPolisher 2000

The JetPolisher 2000 is a small, compact air/powder polishing system that is easily portable from unit to unit. It requires no installation, and connects directly to the 4-hole handpiece tubing connector of the dental unit. Pressure on the regular foot control of the dental unit then activates the Jetpolisher 2000. The Jetpolisher 2000 has a unique patented homogenous stream technology H.S.T. polishing system, which delivers a gentle thorough cleaning in less time than other methods. More than 50% in time can be saved, and the procedure is less tedious for the clinician than other methods, such as the prophy cup and paste. The H.S.T. system works by the air, water and powder are mixed homogeneously prior to emission from the nozzle producing a more efficient polishing stream, which creates only 35 p.s.i amount of air pressure, providing a gentler and safer procedure.

Key Features and Applications

The H.S.T.system has been shown to cause no damage to titanium implant surfaces (Barnes et al, I.J.O.M.I. 1991). This system also eliminates the clogging that's so frustrating with other polishers. The nozzle clogging is eliminated by preventing the build up of anhydrous sodium bicarbonate that occurs at the nozzle orifice in other systems.

A Registered Dental Hygienist can use the JetPolisher2000 after scaling, to remove stain and plaque during a routine prophylaxis. The efficient homogenous stream generated by the Jetpolisher 2000 easily reaches interproximal areas where crowding exists, as well as under and around even complex restorations. This is an airpolishing system which is a technique for cleaning tooth surfaces, and efficiently removing stain and soft tissue deposits.

The JetPolisher 2000 is superb for:

• Cleaning abutments, prior to cementation of restorations
• Removal of fissure plaque prior to fissure sealants
• Cleaning enamel prior to bonding procedures

The sodium bicarbonate stream is completely soluble and so there are no insoluble deposits left on the tooth surface after rinsing to interfere with bonding procedures. The JetPolisher 2000 works great prior to whitening procedures. It is also ideal for cleaning around fixed appliances i.e., orthodontics, where rotary instruments cannot reach. It is the only unit that is FDA cleared for cleaning around implants during implant maintenance procedures.

The JetPolisher 2000 is a great tool that can be utilized by Periodontists during periodontal treatments for cleaning root irregularities and depressions. The JetPolisher 2000 reaches inaccessible areas such as interproximally, fissures, grooves and around orthodontic fixed appliances.

Summary of Features and Benefits

The JetPolisher 2000 offers many excellent features and benefits. The unique patented HST system, is a single nozzle system producing a low pressure stream with softened particles, that will not damage titanium implant or transmucosal element surfaces. It is small and compact, and is FDA cleared for cleaning around titanium implants. The patented self cleaning head eliminates nozzle clog that is a major cause of down time with other systems. It has a fully detachable and autoclavable handpiece, and the unit is fully portable, requires no installation, and has a large volume powder reservoir sufficient for multiple prophys. The JetPolisher 2000 is a fantastic system for the clinician to utilize on their patients to help maintain a healthy environment orally and systemically.
