WARNING

(always refers to personal injury)

CAUTION

(refers to possible damage to property)

The purpose of this manual is for the operator knowledge regarding the safety precautions, the installation procedures, and the instructions for correct use and maintenance of the device and its accessories. Use of this manual for purposes other than those strictly tied to the installation, use and maintenance of the device is forbidden. The information and illustrations in this manual are updated as of the date of issue reported on the last page. Mectron is committed to continually updating

its products with possible modications to

device components. In the event you uncover discrepancies between what is described in this manual and the device in your possession, contact your Retailer or the After-

Sales Service of Mectron for clarications and

support.

01.1 INTENDED USE

The air polisher is intended for specic use depending on the type of powder being used

(whether it be bicarbonate or glycine based).

Bicarbonate powder Jet polisher. Indications:

- Removal of bacterial plaque;

- Removal of stains from the tooth surface, due to tobacco, coffee, tea and chlorhexidine;

- Cavity preparation for a better adhesion

between enamel and lling material;

- Polishing of the enamel’s surface;

Glycine powder Jet Polisher. Indications:

- Removal of bacterial plaque above and below the gums;

- Removal of the Biolm in the prevention of

Perimplantitis;

- Prolaxis on patients in ortodontics

therapy.

01.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE

The Starjet is a Bicarbonate based or Glycine based powder compact whitening system

with a quick-t connection to the turbine.

The Starjet has all the main advantages of the

best-known table-top devices:

• a steady and efcient stream of powder

• simplicity of use and reliability.

The operating principle of the Starjet is based on the mechanical action obtained with a jet of crystals of powder accelerated by a stream of compressed air.

The kinetic energy impressed in this way on the particles is almost entirely dissipated as they strike the surface of the enamel, giving rise to a gentle but effective cleansing effect. This action is completed by a jet of water that exploits the depression created around the nozzle to form a bell shape around the main

stream, producing two effects: it prevents

to a great extent the cloud of powder from splashing and spilling out and performs continuous rinsing of the treated area.
