Aquacut Quattro is the ideal tool for minimally invasive and cosmetic dentistry. Its patient-friendly stain removal and cavity preparation make it a favorite with your patients. It’s a fraction of the cost of a hard tissue laser, fast, efficient, cutting and cleaning with very high levels of patient acceptability. No direct contact with the tooth structure - no vibration, turbine noise, heat generation or smell, and greatly reduced need for local anesthesia. Unique handpiece creates a fluid curtain around the powder medium, for increased efficiency during cutting, and control of airborne powder and debris. Triple action foot control speeds treatment by allowing cut, wash and dry operations through the same handpiece. No chipping or stress fracturing, and minimal loss of sound tooth material. An ideal tool for the repair of composites. Aquacut Quattro gives you greater control and flexibility than any other piece of equipment that you own.
Class I – Class V cavity preparation, cleaning & decay removal
Crown preparation before cementation
Preventive Resin Restoration (PRR)
Composite/porcelain repair and restoration
Orthodontic bracket etching
Cleaning & polishing, removing tea/tobacco staining
Removing vegetal plugs or other matter prior to diagnosis of hidden caries
Aquacut Quattro without drill or anaesthetic
Removal of glass ionomer and composite restorations, conservative preparations, etching porcelain and cleaning and etching of tooth surfaces before fissure sealing can all be done without the drill; often without the use of anesthetic.
How does Aquacut Quattro compare for speed?
Speed, powder and water volume can be varied within very wide limits, giving the Clinician complete control and high versatility of operation: mostly used without anesthetic, in most cases there will be a saving of time with each patient.
How safe is Aluminium Oxide?
Aluminium Oxide is not toxic and will not cause respiratory problems. Aquacut works with 53 micron powder and 29 micron, and this places them well clear of the allowable (legal) safe level in the event of any accidental inhalation.
Is soft tissue affected?
Soft tissue is not likely to be damaged since the energy of the abrasion process is absorbed by any soft tissue coming into contact.
Sensitivity of teeth under treatment
Sensitivity in the dentine is usually swiftly controlled by a slight reduction in air pressure. Cutting with short abrasive bursts will help to avoid any patient reaction. Cutting near the pulp exposure this is especially important – with low air pressure the experienced Clinician can prepare cavities without patient sensitivity.
Controlling the depth when cutting
The tip should be in motion and with short bursts of the abrasive stream. If the tip is held stationary with active abrasion the depth of cut increases.
If soft decay is encountered
Soft decay is best removed with Sodium Bicarbonate or using your usual method. For some patients anesthesia may be necessary, but most will tolerate the mild discomfort once the procedure has been explained to them.
Using Aquacut Quattro for diagnosis of caries
In “cleaning/polishing” mode using Sodium Bicarbonate, foreign matter e.g. a vegetal plug may be concealing a carious lesion within a fissure or pit. At the twist of a control the Clinician can change to the chosen cutting medium – WITHOUT REMOVING THE HANDPIECE FROM THE ORAL CAVITY – and proceed with treating the lesion. This diagnostic use of Aquacut Quattro has proved to be a great attribute for the dental practitioner, especially for its assistance in conservative dentistry.
Versatility of control
The Clinician has a wide range of settings in his control, with air pressure, powder and water volume variable to suit all his abrasion procedures. Conservative, time-saving, patient-friendly.
