Air abrasion: a new dimension in conservative dentistry

Abstract

Air Abrasion is a non-drilling technique used by dentists to remove tooth decay or dental enamel without the use of a drill. Air Abrasion Dentistry has emerged over time as an alternative method for cavity protection and tooth structure preparation that is more conservative. This page discusses the history of Dental Air Abrasion, its applications, how it operates, its safety applications, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of this procedure.
