Effect of a hydraulic jet prophylaxis system on composites.
Because air-powered devices that remove surface stain from teeth are commercially available, recent literature concerning the effect of the hydraulic jet prophylaxis system on oral tissues and restorative materials was reviewed. A study designed to compare the volume loss by different types of composites abraded by this system revealed a relatively high rate of abrasion for the small-particle composite compared with composites containing larger filler particles.
