Prophy Mate Teeth Cleaning Whitening Airpolishing Therapy Tooth Polishing System
A dental air-powered tooth polishing system is a device used by dental professionals for removing stains, plaque, and tartar from the surfaces of teeth. It typically consists of a handheld polishing instrument connected to an air compressor or air-driven system.
Here's how the system generally works:
-
Air Compressor: The system requires a compressed air source, often provided by an air compressor in the dental office. The compressor generates a steady stream of pressurized air.
-
Handpiece: The air-powered handpiece is designed specifically for tooth polishing. It is typically lightweight and ergonomic, allowing the dental professional to maneuver it easily.
-
Prophylaxis Paste: A special polishing paste is applied to the tooth surface using a disposable prophy cup or brush. The paste is usually flavored and available in different grits, depending on the degree of stain or plaque removal required.
-
Air-Powered Polishing: When the handpiece is activated, the compressed air flows through the handpiece and into the disposable prophy cup or brush. The air pressure propels the cup or brush in a rotating motion, enhancing the effectiveness of the polishing process.
-
Polishing Motion: The dental professional holds the handpiece at the appropriate angle and applies gentle pressure to the tooth surface, moving the cup or brush in a circular or back-and-forth motion. The prophylaxis paste, combined with the rotating action, helps remove surface stains, plaque, and tartar.
-
Rinse and Clean: Once the polishing is complete, the dental professional rinses the mouth and removes any residual polishing paste or debris. This is often done using a suction device or water spray.

Applications:
-
Dental Cleaning and Prophylaxis: The primary application of the air-powered tooth polishing system is during routine dental cleanings and prophylaxis appointments. Dental professionals use the system to remove surface stains, plaque, and tartar from the teeth, leaving them clean and polished. This helps improve oral hygiene and prevents the progression of gum disease and tooth decay.
-
Preparatory Step for Dental Procedures: The tooth polishing system is often used as a preparatory step before other dental procedures. For example, before teeth whitening treatments, the dental professional may use the system to thoroughly clean and polish the teeth, ensuring optimal results from the whitening procedure. Similarly, it can be used before dental bonding, veneer placement, or orthodontic treatments to create a clean surface for better adhesion.
-
Removal of Extrinsic Stains: Extrinsic stains are stains that occur on the outer surface of the teeth, usually due to factors like smoking, drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, or poor oral hygiene. The air-powered tooth polishing system is effective in removing these stains, restoring the natural color and appearance of the teeth and enhancing the patient's smile.
-
Maintenance of Dental Restorations: The tooth polishing system can be used to maintain and clean dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and veneers. It helps remove plaque and stains around these restorations, preventing the buildup of bacteria and maintaining their longevity.
-
Patient Comfort: The air-powered tooth polishing system is generally well-tolerated by patients and can be a more comfortable alternative to traditional scraping and scaling methods. The gentle polishing action combined with the use of water helps minimize sensitivity and discomfort during the procedure.
