1.2 Description of the Appliance
starjet is a compact water jet, air, and powder
dental device (air polisher) used in the den-
tal sector for prophylaxis and tooth polishing
treatments.
starjet can be used with powders of various
particle sizes and guarantees a constant, ef-
ficient jet of powder and simple, reliable use.
The starjet operating principle is based on the
mechanical action obtained by a mechanical
jet of powders accelerated by a flow of com-
pressed air.
The kinetic energy thus impressed on the
particles is dissipated when it hits the enamel

surface, thus producing a delicate but efficient
polishing action.
The action is completed by a jet of wa-
ter which, by means of the vacuum created
around the nozzle, forms a bell-shape around
the main flow, thus producing a double effect:
to prevent much of the rebound and the leak-
age of the powder jet and continuously wash
the treated area, dissolving the powder itself.
starjet can be supplied with different quick
and fixed couplings for connection to the tur-
bine of the dental unit.
