Hellesdon in Norfolk, is now firmly on the map as far as Fluid Abrasion is concerned! The 900th Velopex Aquacut Quattro has been installed at Dr Chris Lefkaditis ‘s busy Dental Practice, in Middletons Lane, Hellesdon. This light and airy building provides a superb backdrop for this busy dental practice - which now offers all patients the availability of fluid abrasion: Cleaning and Treating, in a calm soothing environment. Dr Lefkaditis commented: “It’s great! It’s an essential part of modern technology in a modern practice!”.
The Velopex Aquacut Quattro contains two chambers, which can accommodate any combination of the 3 Cleaning and Treating media available. The 53µ Treating powder allows the clinician to ablate hard tissue (Composite, enamel and dentine) creating a relatively rough surface – which is ideal for the latest bonding and restorative materials. The 29µ Treating powder gives the clinician a much smoother cut for finer work. For Cleaning, the Bicarbonate of Soda allows smoking stains to be removed as well as carious dentine. The combination of these powders, in a single unit, provides the modern dental practice with a unit that can cover a wide range of dental treatment applications.
This is all achieved using the unique Velopex ‘water curtain’ bringing a new dimension to the air abrasion concept. The clinicians and patients dislike of air abrasion being principally the mess associated with this technique. The Velopex Auquacut Quattro delivers a vanilla scented fluid along with the stream of air and particles thus allowing standard aspiration to cope with the emissions from the handpiece tip.
The Velopex Aquacut Quattro is very easy to operate with a user friendly system that is easy to navigate. The unit itself can fit neatly onto standard dental cabinets or a trolley. The delivery system allows complete and free movement of the handpiece in Dr Thuraisundaram’s hand – allowing her patient's to settle back without the noise and vibration of conventional drills.
Patient feedback continues to be very positive with many patients commenting on the unit. The Aquacut had one lady patient saying: "It's wonderful not having the dental version of a road drill in your mouth when you need a filling!". Another delighted patient stated: "With this you don't feel much except a splash of water on your tooth. It's a pleasure having treatment".
