February 2009, was a lucky month for one Dentistry Scotland reader. Dr Hazel Coventry, who previously had only ever won a bottle of champagne, scooped the FREE Aquacut Quattro in the Velopex Competition on p48 of the February issue. The competition closed on the first of June and later that week, a surprised and delighted Dr Coventry was presented with her prize. Dr Coventry whose husband, son and daughter are all dentists runs an NHS practice in Newmains near Wishaw and is looking forward to starting work with the Aquacut Quattro.
Mark Chapman, Director of Sales and Marketing commented: “We had quite a few correct entries for the competition, but Dr Coventry came up with the best tie break: “This patient friendy, efficient machine would greatly enhance my working environment in a traditional practice, with many apprehensive but appearance conscious patients.””.
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 Aquacut 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 the Clinicians hand – allowing patient's to settle back without the noise and vibrations of the conventional drills in other dental practices.
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 almost a pleasure coming here!".
