Using BRILLANTE Prophy Angles VASTMED disposable dental prophylaxis (prophy) angle for cleaning and protecting teeth is a common procedure performed by a dental hygienist. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use a disposable prophy angle:

Materials Needed:

• Disposable prophy angle
• Prophy paste (gritty toothpaste used for polishing teeth)
• Slow-speed handpiece (dental drill)
• Saliva ejector
• Protective eyewear and gloves (for the hygienist)
• Patient’s protective bib

Procedure:

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure the patient is comfortable in the dental chair.
   • Place a protective bib on the patient.
   • Wear gloves, a mask, and protective eyewear.
2. Attach the Prophy Angle:
   • Connect the disposable prophy angle to the slow-speed handpiece. Make sure it is securely attached.
   • Test the prophy angle by activating the handpiece to ensure it is working correctly.
3. Apply Prophy Paste:
   • Dispense a small amount of prophy paste onto the rubber cup of the prophy angle. You can also apply the paste directly to the patient’s teeth if preferred.
4. Polishing the Teeth:
   • Gently guide the prophy angle to the patient’s teeth, starting at the gum line.
   • Use a light, circular motion to polish the tooth surfaces. The prophy angle should be moving continuously to avoid generating too much heat, which can cause discomfort.
   • Polish all surfaces of the teeth, including the front, back, and chewing surfaces.
   • Reapply prophy paste as needed throughout the procedure.
5. Rinsing and Suction:
   • Periodically rinse the patient’s mouth with water and use a saliva ejector to remove the prophy paste and debris.
   • Continue polishing until all the teeth are clean and smooth.
6. Final Rinse:
   • Once polishing is complete, give the patient a final rinse to remove any remaining paste and debris.
   • Use the saliva ejector to ensure the mouth is clean and dry.
7. Finishing Up:
   • Remove the disposable prophy angle from the handpiece and dispose of it according to your dental office’s protocols.
   • Clean and disinfect the handpiece as required.
   • Remove the patient’s protective bib and provide any post-care instructions, such as avoiding food or drink for a short time if fluoride treatment was applied.

Post-Care Instructions:

• Inform the patient that they may experience slight sensitivity after the cleaning, which should subside quickly.
• Advise the patient to maintain good oral hygiene practices at home, including regular brushing and flossing.

This procedure ensures the patient’s teeth are cleaned and protected, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
