2.6 Qualification of personnel
Application of the product by users without the appropriate medical training could in-

The improper use of the product might lead to emphysema. Emphysema may arise in
extreme individual cases, especially in the presence of pathological gingival pockets
(> 3 mm), mucosal lesions, direct skin contact or contact with soft tissue and/or im-
proper handling.
▶ The powder jet device must be used as briefly as possible.
▶ Place some cream on the patient's lips to prevent the corners of the mouth from
drying out or cracking.
▶ Metal surfaces appearing matte due to the exposure should be treated with tooth
polishing agents.
▶ Polish all tooth surfaces after the treatment. KaVo recommends using the Clean-
ic® polishing paste made by Kerr.
▶ Rinse the patient's mouth after the treatment with water.
The use of the product with PROPHYflex powder can be harmful in the case of pa-
tients in need of maintaining a salt-free or low-salt diet or patients with renal insuffi-
ciency, chronic diseases of the respiratory system and chronic diarrhoea.
▶ In such cases, check if an alternative treatment with PROPHYpearls® or PRO-
PHYflex PerioPowder is feasible.
The use of the product might lead to discolouration of the teeth. Following the treat-
ment, the teeth are absolutely clean and all of the dental pellicle (cuticula dentis) is re-
moved. The dental pellicle is restored only some 2 to 3 hours later due to the protein
content of saliva. During this time, the teeth are not naturally protected from discolour-
ation.
▶ Tell your patients not to smoke, drink tea or coffee and not to consume any other
discolouring foods for 2 to 3 hours after treatment.
Due to their low water solubility, PROPHYpearls® can accumulate in the amalgam
separator which will then have to be changed more frequently. PROPHYflex has a
high degree of water solubility and therefore does not accumulate in the amalgam
separator and hose lines.
