The compact, fully autoclavable dental sandblaster, micro-blaster for use with abrasives such as aluminium and silicon oxide powder (particle size 20-80 micron). The micro-fine blasting can be used to roughen the surfaces of metal, ceramic and plastic materials for effective reinforcement of adhesion with bonding agents. Ideal for both intra-oral and extra-oral applications.

Abrasive sand blaster Dento-Prep is to be used dry, without water or other liquid ! When using water with Dento-Prep, it may get clogged very easily.

The device operates on compressed air from 2 to 5 kg/cm2 (30-120 psi).

It is essential that the air is completely dry and oilfree, so please check that your main air line is mounted with filter and water trap.

Applications:

Intraoral ceramic and composite repairs coating surface micro-grooves, cleaning and activation prior to cementation:
     * Metal / ceramic crowns
     * Fills / Overlays
     * Bridge type of Maryland
     * Wristbands orthodontic
Removing of old fillings before re-filling
Matching refurbished metal castings (mismatched spots become visible)
 
Features and Benefits

     * Tip rotates 360 degrees, allowing access to all of the surface defect
     * Perfectly balanced
     * Easy to install
     * Made of high quality stainless steel can be sterilized by any method (up to 135 C/275 F)

Microblaster (incl. quick disconnect coupling and hose). Item no.: 1900

The DENTO-PREP™ is a compact, fully autoclavable micro-blaster for use with abrasives such as aluminium and silicon oxide powder (particle size 20-80 micron).

Connectors (options):

Quick Connector - Connection to turbine coupling. Quick and easy access to compressed air through the turbine coupling with a quick connector. Available for Sirona, W&H, KaVo, BienAir and NSK. Content: 1 connector, 1 hose (1.5 m) and 1 quick connector. 

Midwest - Connection to the turbine hose. The 4-pin MidWest connector is universal and can be screwed into all standard 4-hole air turbine hoses.

InstallationKit - Connection directly to compressed air supply. Permanent connection to the air supply line with an Installation Kit. Content: 1 hose, 1 tee-fitting, 1 female quick connector and 1 plug

Extra-Oral Applications

DENTO-PREP™ is used to prepare, clean and coat (silicatize) the surface prior to cementation of e.g. crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, orthodontic fastenings.

• Indirect metal restorations, composite or ceramic restorations
• Orthodontic bands and brackets
• To remove cement prior to recementation
• For matte finish blasting to check the fit of cast metal restorations (non-fitting areas become visible)

Intra-Oral Applications

Micro-roughening prior to adhesive repairs of composite and porcelain

The advantageous central position of the powder container, which also serves as a handle, allows the microblaster to be operated comfortably and also set down on work surfaces. The hose is connected to the microblaster by means of a quick disconnect coupling (included in the package).

DENTO-PREP™ is made from high-grade stainless steel (also the inner parts and tubes) and can be autoclaved up to 135°C. The nozzle is fully rotating (360°) and can be fi xed in any position. The air pressure for operation should be approx. 2 to 5 bar (30-105 psi), depending on the application and abrasive.

Clogging

If the thin stainless steel tubing inside the DENTO-PREP™ should become clogged, they can be cleared as follows:

Screw off the powder jar, place your fi nger over the spray tip opening and press the Operating Button. This will cause compressed air to fl ow back through the unit, clearing away any blockages.

Cleaning

Remove remains of abrasive and back-flush the system as described under “clogging”. Clean the surfaces of DENTO-PREP™. DENTO-PREP™ may not be immersed in water or any other liquid due to the risk of clogging.

Sterilization

DENTO-PREP™ (unit as well as powder jar) can be sterilized in autoclave by max 135°C / 275°F. Unscrew the powder jar before sterilization. After steam sterilization, make sure that the whole system of DENTO-PREP™ is completely dry before use.

Guarantee

DENTO-PREP™ is covered by a 1-year material and construction guarantee with the exception of the spray tip. DENTO-PREP is engraved with a 10-digit serial number of which the fi rst 4 digits indicates year and month: YYMM.
