Air Abrasion
Air abrasion is a minimally invasive technique that uses a stream of fine particles (usually aluminium oxide) propelled by compressed air to remove decay or prepare a tooth surface without a drill.
Air abrasion is widely used for small cavities, sealant placement, and surface cleaning. It is quieter and produces less vibration and heat than a traditional handpiece, making it popular for paediatric and anxious patients.
Common units include the AquaCare Single and the AquaCare Twin.
