  • Page 7: Cleaning And Disinfecting

    A7 Plus - OPERATING INSTRUCTION 1.4. Cleaning and disinfecting Cleaning is the first step of any disinfecting process. Physically scrubbing with detergents and surface-active substances and rinsing with water removes a considerable amount of micro organisms. If a surface is not clean first, the disinfecting process cannot be successful. If a surface cannot be adequately cleaned, it should be protected with barriers. The outer parts of the equipment must be cleaned and disinfected using a product for hospital use with indications for HIV, HBV and tubercolocide (medium-level disinfectant) specifically for small surfaces. The various drugs and chemical products used in dentist’s surgeries may damage the painted surfaces and the plastic parts. Research and tests run show that the surfaces cannot be fully protected against the harsh action of all products available on the market. We therefore recommend protecting with barriers whenever possible. The harsh actions of chemical products also depend on the amount of time they are left on the surfaces. It is therefore important not to leave the product on the surfaces longer than the time specified by the manufacturer. It is recommended to use the specific medium-level disinfectant, STER 1 PLUS (CEFLA s.c.), which is compatible with: • Coated surfaces and plastic parts. • Upholstery. WARNING! Any splashes or spots of mordant will stain the MEMORY FOAM upholstery. Immediately rinse with plenty of water if acid spatters on the upholstery.

  • Page 57: Electronic Apex Locator

    A7 Plus - OPERATING INSTRUCTION 5.11. Electronic APEX LOCATOR APEX LOCATOR, through the analysis of the variations of special electric signals, makes root apex location easier. If used together with a "file" (not supplied) for manual treatment, it proves useful also to measure canal length. Besides using the apex locator in manual mode on this dental unit, this device can also be used with micromotor "ENDO" mode. The position of the instruments used on handpieces can be monitored since, through instrument cords, APEX LOCATOR signals are directly transferred to the files, thus allowing to monitor canal position during treatments. Component description. [ 1 ] APEX LOCATOR external wiring.
  • Page 58 A7 Plus - OPERATING INSTRUCTION Root canal length detection. • The use of manual file is of the utmost importance for canal detection. The correct procedure entails file insertion inside canal until reaching indi- cation 0.5. • Continue inserting file with a slow clockwise rotation until the APEX indication appears on the instrument. • Once APEX indication appears, stop file turning it counter clockwise until reaching again the value of 0.5. Position a rubber stopper close to the occlusal surface as a reference point to define the work length inside root canal. • Make an X-ray to check file correct positioning. • Remove file from canal and measure the work length with a ruler. Deduct a safety value of 0.5-1 mm from the reading. WARNING! Use APEX LOCATOR always in combination with X-ray test to accurately define apex position. Different, and not always predictable, morphological conditions could lead to inaccurate readings. For example: - excessively wide root canal; - re-treatments; - broken roots; - presence of metal crowns.
