Instructions
Handpiece connection
Take out the air polishing handpiece, connect the air polishing handpiece with the air polishing line, and place the handpiece on the bracket on the right side of the main unit.
Filling with prophylaxis powder
Take out the powder tank and use the three-way syringe to blow away the residual powder. Take out the prophylaxis powder, hold the bottle, and shake it 3-5 times, then pour the powder into the powder tank. When the powder in the powder tank is used up, please click the “Purging Mode” button twice to remove the compressed air in the powder tank, and then add the powder into the powder tank. It is not allowed to add powder when in use.
Filling with water
Take out the water bottle, add purified water (or distilled water) to the water bottle, and then plug the water bottle into the main unit. A small amount of Vaseline can be applied to the seal ring at the bottom of the water bottle to lubricate the seal ring, which is convenient for the water bottle to plug.
Use the high-speed evacuation device on the dental comprehensive treatment machine to absorb the air/powder mixture reflected from the tooth surface during treatment.
When subgingival air polishing, it’s just allowed to use sublingual powder, and misusing powder may cause harm to patients.
Maintenance
Air polishing handpiece
- Remove the air-polishing handpiece, loosen the handpiece head, and pull out the handpiece head (For the subgingival handpiece, the nozzle needs to be removed in advance), as shown in Fig. 7.
- Align the handpiece head with a three-way syringe and blow away the residual powder in the handpiece.
- Blow the front and rear ends of the handpiece with a three-way syringe.
- If the handpiece is blocked, use a needle to dredge it.
- Handpieces, water bottles, and powder tanks should not be maintained when they are being used.
Powder tank
- It is recommended to estimate the amount of prophylaxis powder before use. It is easy to cause a block that leaves extra powder in the powder tank for a long time because the powder will clump in a humid environment. Therefore, please pour the remaining powder into the powder tank after use.
- Use a three-way syringe to clean the powder remaining in the powder tank, and blow away the powder in the thread of the powder and powder tank lid.
- Daily maintenance
Before and after using the air polishing system, please click the “purge” button on the main unit.
Troubleshooting
Note: Please contact your local distributor or manufacturer if the fault cannot be removed.
Cleaning, Disinfection and Sterilization
Initial processing
- Processing principles
It is only possible to carry out effective sterilization after effective cleaning and disinfection. Please ensure that, as part of your responsibility for the sterility of products during use, only sufficiently validated devices and product-specific procedures are used for cleaning/disinfection and sterilization, and that the validated parameters are adhered to during every cycle. Please also observe the applicable legal requirements in your country as well as the hygiene regulations of the hospital or clinic, especially the additional requirements for the inactivation of prions. - Post-operative treatment
The post-operative treatment must be carried out immediately, no later than 30 minutes after the completion of the operation. The steps are as follows:
Let the device work for 20-30 seconds at maximum water volume to separately flush the air-polishing handpiece and nozzle; Remove the handpieces from the device and rinse away the dirt on the surface of handpieces and their accessories with pure water (or distilled water/deionized water); Dry the handpieces and its accessories with a clean, soft cloth and place it in a clean tray.
Precautions:- The water used here must be pure, distilled water, or deionized water.
Cleaning
The cleaning of the handpiece and its accessories should be performed no later than 24 hours after the operation. The cleaning can be divided into automated cleaning and manual cleaning. Automated cleaning is preferred if conditions permit.
Automated cleaning
The cleaner is proven to be valid by FDA, CE certification, or by EN ISO 15883. There should be a flushing connector connected to the inner cavity of the product. The cleaning procedure is suitable for the handle, and the flushing period is sufficient. It is recommended to use a washer-disinfector by EN ISO 15883.
Maintenance, storage, and transportation
- It is recommended to install an air drying device (such as a freezing dryer) in advance before using air polishing device. Check the drying device every day to ensure it works normally. Otherwise, it may be easy to cause prophylaxis powder agglomerating. The agglomerating will cause the device or handpiece blocked.
- Check the sealing ring on the handpiece, tail line, powder tank, and water bottle regularly. If finding defects such as rupture, deformation, or falling off, please refer to the instructions and replace them in time, the accessories are equipped with sealing rings of corresponding specifications.
- Check the air inlet interface filter once a month to confirm whether there is an impurity in the filter. If there is impurity, replace the filter in time, and check the cleanliness of the air compressor and the environment where it is located. If there is no impurity, it is recommended to replace the filter every 24 months. Spare filters are included in accessories. The way to replace the filter is shown in Figure 8.

FAQs About Woodpecker AP-A Air Polisher
When employing the air polisher What exactly is abrasive?
Sodium bicarbonate which has been carefully treated is the most popular abrasive particle for air polishing (SPSB). To keep it free flowing, small amounts of silica and calcium phosphate are added to food-grade tribasic SPSB.
Does air polishing work well?
Air polishers are more successful at eliminating stains than polishing cups are. Plaque and stains that could obstruct the view during scaling are lessened by using air polishers before scaling, particularly if biofilm levels are high.
Can an implant be air-polished?
In air-polishing therapy, water, pressurized air released from the device, and low-abrasive powders cause abrasion at the implant surface, which removes the biofilm.
Can stains be removed by airflow?
In addition, AirFlow helps remove more serious stains that may result from medications as well as stains produced by a genetic predisposition to darker teeth.
Why would someone need an air polisher handpiece?
Adult patients benefit greatly from air cleaning, as is widely recognized. Air polishing is beneficial for removing biofilm, cleaning around implants, and easily erasing even the toughest tobacco stains. However, keep in mind that they might be a useful supplement to pediatric dental care.
Is hand polishing effective?
Efficiency, To be honest, machine polishing is more effective than hand polishing. To more uniformly and efficiently abrade the clear coat and produce more consistent results, machines are moving faster.
Does airflow promote dental health?
In addition to being the finest treatment now available for treating and managing gum disease, or periodontal disease, airflow therapy is also a terrific approach to maintain your oral health and dental hygiene. It’s also a terrific last-minute solution for important events like weddings, holidays, and job interviews.
Does tartar get removed by air polishing?
As the name Air Polish suggests, this procedure cleans your teeth by splattering air jets over their surface. In addition to being painless, this procedure works far faster than the conventional scale and polish method, destroying calculus buildup, tartar, and plaque with ease.
How much time does toothpolish last?
This operation should ideally be done at least once every three months. Although polishing makes teeth appear whiter and better, you may choose to only have polishing done twice a year if your teeth are in good condition following the scaling treatment.
