Description
The AIR-FLOW® S2 combines two devices in one for the professional removal of tooth deposits and stains. With the combined use of AIR-FLOW® and Piezon® technologies, the AIR-FLOW® S2 removes calculus, dental plaque, soft deposits and surface stains from pits, grooves, interproximal spaces and smooth surfaces of the teeth. It is also recommended for a wide variety of cleaning procedures.
FEATURES
- Free-Flow technology to prevent clogging of powder, air and water line
- Controlled Piezon® oscillation pattern for greater efficiency and patient comfort
- Ultrasonic cavitation and acoustic streaming for enhanced treatment efficiency
- Incredibly light handpiece tubing allows for easier maneuvering of the handpiece while in use
- 3 integrated self-cleaning filters for proper maintenance of the unit
PIEZO REFERENCE
CHARACTERISTICS OF TIP MOVEMENT
The smooth linear movement generated by piezoelectric systems
creates a stroke pattern that is similar to hand instrumentation.
Adapting the lateral surface of the piezo tip against the tooth surface
(similar to a hand instrument) will increase clinical efficiency

ESSENTIALS OF POWER DISPERSION
• Most of the energy is dispersed at the point of tip (1).
• The lateral surfaces of the tip (2) are moving in a linear pattern, similar to the stroke of
a bladed hand instrument.
• Adaptation of this lateral surface provides the most efficient deposit removal.
• Adapt the terminal 2–3 mm of tip for optimal performance.
• When concave front or convex back surfaces (3) are adapted to the tooth surface,
the instrument will chatter against the surface rather than effectively remove deposit.

PIEZO TIP ADAPTATION
• Adapt the lateral surface to the tooth for optimal performance.
• Maintain tip angulation near zero degrees — parallel to tooth surface.
• To minimize the risk of root damage, never adapt tip at a 90˚ angle.
• Use little or no lateral pressure and let the tip do the work for you.

instrument will chatter against the surface rather than effectively instrument.

SENSORY OBSERVATIONS
• Smooth vibration enhances tactile sense for instrumentation.
• The smooth motion of the tip is an excellent option for patients with root sensitivity.
• Piezo tip vibration is very smooth and quiet when adapted correctly on a lateral surface.
• Deposits are pulverized, resulting in a slurry of debris that is visible in the water at the
back of the mouth.
• Calculus is generally not removed in big chunks as commonly seen during
magnetostrictive instrumentation.
