“…They concluded that on a basis of dust counts, particle size and composition, the normal use of an air abrasive unit presents little health hazard to patient and dentist. 31 The technique at present has full US FDA approval for clinical use of 27.5 µm alumina particles.…”

(1) Dust from the KCP 1000 is insufficient to be a health hazard to patients or operators, (2) chair-side suction can be used as an alternative to the KCP 1000 suction, (3) superior sealants were obtained when tooth surfaces were prepared by a bur, compared to air abrasion and conventionally prepared surfaces, and (4) air abrasion tooth surfaces demonstrated less microleakage than conventionally prepared tooth surfaces.

“…These include its non-toxic nature, chemical stability, lack of specific affinity for water, free-flowing properties, colorlessness, affordability, and ready availability [ 1 , 9 ]. Additionally, experimental data from [ 10 , 11 ] indicates that the dust particles generated during the Alumina air-abrasion process pose no health hazards to either the operator or the patient.…”

The selection of abrasive material and parameters of the Air-Abrasion device for a particular application is a crucial detail. However, there are no standard recommendations or manuals for choosing these details; the operator must depend on his experience and knowledge of the procedure to select the best possible material and set of parameters. This short review attempts to identify some of the effects that the selection of material and parameters could have on the performance of the Air-Abrasion procedure for a particular application. The material and parameter data are collected from various studies and categorized according to the most popular materials in use right now. These studies are then analyzed to arrive at some inferences on the performance of Air-Abrasion materials and parameters. This review arrives at a few conclusions on the effectiveness of a material and parameter set, and that there is potential for developments in the area of standardizing parameter selection; also, there is scope for further studies on Bio-Active Glass as an alternative to the materials currently used in Air-Abrasion.
