A dental material made from various base substances having some abrasive qualities [e.g., treated sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or aluminium oxide (Al2O3)] and applied by a healthcare professional with an appropriate device (e.g., a dental abrasive air jet system) to the surface of teeth or dental devices (e.g., restorations). It has a wide variety of both prophylactic and treatment applications such as the removal of plaque and stains, cleaning fissures (above and below the gingiva), the preparation of a tooth surface prior to bonding, cleaning orthodontic appliances (bands and brackets), removing adhesive residue, and cleaning implants prior to loading. This is a single-use device.
