Abstract
A method for removing dental material is disclosed. The method may include suspending, by a hydrated polymeric material, a quantity of abrasive media. The hydrated polymeric material and suspended abrasive media may then be pressurized. Accordingly, an abrasive stream may be formed by expelling, under pressure, the hydrated polymeric material and suspended abrasive media from a nozzle. The abrasive stream may be precisely applied to a tooth to abrade the enamel or dentin thereof as a drilling instrumentality.
Claims20
A composition comprising:
- 0.05-0.5% by weight of a polymer-based mechanical suspension material;
- 5-30% by weight of an abrasive media;
- and
- a base;
- wherein:
- the base ionizes and uncoils the polymer chains of the polymer-based mechanical suspension material to obtain a neutralized polymer-based mechanical suspension material;
- and
- the abrasive media is mechanically suspended by the polymer chains of the neutralized polymer-based mechanical suspension material for at least one month.
