ABSTRACT:
A system of treating teeth or associated tooth structure uses abrasive-laden fluid stream. The system provides air at high pressure to a manifold with selectively operable valves delivers fluid at a selected pressure to a device for mixing the fluid with abrasive and delivers the air/abrasive mix to a hand-held device for application of an abrasive-laden stream to a tooth or associated tooth structure. Priming air at a relatively low pressure pressurizes the air/abrasive device. A flow path for pure air bypasses the air/abrasive device. A selective control allows for optional delivery of a stream of air or air and abrasive to the tooth or associated tooth structure. Upon termination of a treatment, the pure air is diverted through a purge line to purge the system downstream from the abrasive device of abrasive particles. A vacuum removes abrasive particles and debris from the region of the mouth of the patient during and after the abrasive treatment operation. The abrasive delivery device includes a hand-held nozzle having fluid ports operable by the fingers of the operator to control the instrument. The vacuum includes a rigid, disposable collection chamber for sterile disposal of the abrasive material and debris. Pressure regulating and relief means insure instantaneous change from one pressure level to the next.
