calcium carbonate needs more research to determine _____ and _____ potential
effectiveness, abrasive
two powders approved for subgingival use
glycine, erythritol
glycine is ___% less abrasive than sodium bicarbonate powders
80% less
angulation of air polisher/flow on posterior teeth
80 degrees
angulation of air polisher/flow on occlusal surfaces
90 degrees
angulation of air polisher/flow on anterior teeth
60 degrees
can you point a polisher gingivally with sodium bicarbonate? why?
No, because it will damage tissue and sodium bicarbonate is not indicated for subgingival use
can you point a polisher gingivally with glycine/erythritol? why?
Yes, because it is not as abrasive and will not damage tissue. These are approved for subgingival use
