Aquacut has been developed to provide a new and unique way to improve the dental experience. It can be used to treat problems early on and conserve as much original tooth structure as possible. The machine has been designed to make a routine visit to the dentist a more pleasant one which builds patient confidence.
How does Aquacut achieve the above?
It is important to understand that despite the huge advances in the treatments available, the majority of the public do not perceive a visit to the dentist as something to look forward to. Aquacut has the capability to change the dental experience, it can reduce for many the need for the use of the drill and needle which are among their highest concerns and the cause of much anxiety.
How does Aquacut change the patient’s experience?
Simply! Aquacut operates without direct contact with the tooth structure. It cuts or cleans using a high speed stream of powder surrounded by a complete curtain of fluid that acts against the tooth. According to the type of powder selected, Aquacut will either clean or prepare cavities. The change of function is achieved by the simple twist of a switch. The above duality gives Aquacut a diagnostic capability, switch to cleaning and begin the procedure by cleaning the area of the mouth to be treated. This provides a clear view of any problems that may be developing. Simply switch Aquacut to cavity preparation mode and begin treatment of any indication of decay. For the patient the above procedure will have been a completely comfortable experience.
Introduction to Aquacut
Aquacut is divided into two sections; one dedicated to prophy procedures such as cleaning and stain removal. The second section is dedicated to cavity preparation, amalgam stain removal and roughening areas to increase bonding. To change procedure, simply twist the selected switch to the appropriate section. The liquid that assists in the cutting and cleaning procedures is contained in the tank on the right hand side of the unit and can be easily topped up when required. A variety of powders are available for different procedures and are supplied in convenient coloured cartridge so that they’re easily identifiable for use. Changing cartridges takes less than a minute just turn off the unit and allow it to depressurise, unscrew the chamber and change the cartridge. The user has control over all the elements. From the control panel one is able to adjust the volume of powder air and fluid to achieve the optimum performance.
The Aquacut foot control is also incredibly versatile; it provides a three stage action to the hand piece. This enables the hand piece to be used not just for cleaning and cutting but to wash and dry the area eliminating the need to keep changing instruments and so speeds up any procedure. The hand piece is light and the plastic tip is replaceable for each patient. The main body is removable for autoclave sterilisation. A range of tip sizes is available for special procedures. The unit is pneumatic so only requires connection to a compressed air supply capable of providing clean dry air at a minimum pressure of five bar.
The Aquacut Quattro by Velopex is the ideal tool for a dental practice.
