Via P. a Quaracchi, 50 50019 Sesto Fiorentino, Florence Italy info@leone.it new abrasion technique Easy bonding of orthodontic brackets Abrasion has long been discussed as a treatment in all areas of dentistry. With AquaCare, UK-based Velopex International has introduced an innova- tive and contactless way to abrade and polish teeth and orthodontic appli- ances.

Among the many applications areas, orthodon- tistscanuseAquaCareforbondingorthodonticbrackets.Theenamelofthe tooth to be treated can be ‘etched’ to the exact size of the orthodontic bracket at the place of attachment. This is achieved by holding the cutting nozzle 2mm above the surface of the tooth and gently moving it in a circular motionovertherequiredarea.Thiswillresultinadry‘etched’surface,ready to accept the bonding agent. The risk of saliva contamination is greatly re- duced because the aluminium oxide dries the surrounding mucosa. The same technique can be used to clean the orthodontic brackets.
