The characteristics of the air-powder abrasive device (APAD) was reviewed from the current dental literature and found to be an excellent alternative to traditional methods for stain and plaque removal. Access to crowded teeth, grooves and involved furcation areas are easily obtainable with less operator fatigue. The APAD slurry produces different root surface abrasiveness, depending on the method of use. Extended maintenance periods of exposed root surface using the APAD can result in an enormous loss of root structure. To avoid permanent damage of the root, the device should be used with overlapping strokes and root exposure to the APAD slurry should be minimized. The device can be used for total cementum removal with less operator fatigue and more reproducibility than with hand instruments, leaving smooth and clean surfaces. In addition, the device may be a valuable tool in the detoxification of root surfaces during periodontal surgery.
从当前牙科文献中对气粉磨蚀装置（APAD）的特性进行了综述，发现它是去除污渍和牙菌斑的传统方法的极佳替代方案。对于拥挤的牙齿、窝沟和累及的根分叉区域，使用该装置更容易操作，且操作人员疲劳度更低。根据使用方法的不同，APAD浆液会产生不同的牙根表面磨蚀性。使用APAD延长暴露牙根表面的维护期可能会导致牙根结构大量丧失。为避免牙根受到永久性损伤，该装置应采用重叠 strokes 使用，并且应尽量减少牙根与APAD浆液的接触。与手动器械相比，该装置可用于完全去除牙骨质，操作人员疲劳度更低且重复性更高，能留下光滑干净的表面。此外，该装置在牙周手术中牙根表面解毒方面可能是一种有价值的工具。
