Why is Aerator Lubrication and Protective Spray Use Important?

Why is Aerator Lubrication and Protective Spray Use Important?

The performance and lifetime of precision equipment used in dental clinics are directly dependent on proper maintenance and cleaning processes. Aerator heads in particular are one of the most vulnerable dental instruments to wear due to intensive use and high speed. Therefore, regular cleaning and lubrication of aerators is critical for clinical efficiency and patient safety.

Why should aerator heads be lubricated regularly?

Aerators facilitate the treatment process by operating at high speed thanks to the precise mechanical systems inside. However, when these fast rotating parts are not sufficiently lubricated:

  • It wears out and its working life is shortened,
  • There is a loss of performance,
  • The risk of failure increases,
  • And functional disorders may occur after sterilisation.

Therefore, not skipping lubrication in your daily or weekly maintenance routine will not only prolong the life of the tools, but also reduce maintenance and repair costs.

What is Protective Lubricant Spray and Why Should It Be Preferred?

Protective lubricant sprays not only reduce mechanical friction, but also form a protective layer on the tool surface, thus providing resistance to external influences.

An ideal dental lubricant spray:

  • It should be able to maintain its oily layer even in contact with water,
  • It must not interfere with the sterilisation process,
  • It should not contain silicone derivative ingredients,
  • It must be resistant to high temperatures (e.g. 200°C).

Why Detro Lube Spray?

Contains medical paraffin oils – Resistant to high temperatures (up to 200 °C).
Suitable for sterilisation – Free of silicone and derivatives.
Forms a protective layer – Reduces residue accumulation on the surface.
Provides deep cleaning inside the aerator – Reaches functional areas with extension hose.

How to use Detro Lube Spray?

Use in Aerator Heads:

  1. An extension hose is attached to the end of the spray valve.
  2. It is tightened directly to the rotating threaded parts.
  3. The tool is operated once to ensure that the oil reaches the inner parts.
  4. Immediate use or sterilisation after lubrication.

Use in Surgical Instruments:

  1. The cleaned and disinfected instruments are spread out on a flat surface.
  2. The spray is applied by spraying from a certain distance.
  3. Direct application is made with a hose in volatile areas.
  4. The function test checks the penetration of the oil.

Who Should Use It?

  • Dentists and dental assistants
  • Sterilisation and maintenance personnel

Frequently Asked Questions – About Aerator Lubrication and Protective Spray

What is aerator lubricating spray?

Aerator lubricating spray is a protective product used to ensure the smooth operation of the internal mechanisms of dental hand instruments (especially rotary instruments), reduce friction and prevent premature wear. Regular use improves the performance and prolongs the service life of the instruments.

How often should aerator lubricating spray be used?

It is recommended to apply before and/or after each use. It should be made part of the daily care routine in intensively used clinics. Frequency of use may vary according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Can the protective spray be used on all dental instruments?

No, no, no. The protective spray is specially formulated for rotary hand tools (aerator, micromotor, contra-angle etc.). To check the compatibility of the spray, the type of equipment indicated on the product label or in the user manual should be checked.

Does using aerator spray require sterilisation of instruments?

No, this product is not a substitute for sterilisation. It is for lubrication and protection. The use of the spray should be considered as a maintenance step before sterilisation. Instruments should also be properly sterilised in an autoclave.

How to apply aerator spray?

Attach the sprayer to the oil inlet of the relevant tool via the adaptor and apply a short-term spray. After the product has been applied, the tool is operated for a while until the excess oil comes out. In this way, the oil is evenly distributed to the internal mechanisms.

Why does a lot of spray come out during the lubrication process?

This is usually caused by over-application of the spray or by expelling the old oil accumulated inside the tool. After the procedure, the excess product should be removed with a cloth and the tool should be started and the internal cleaning should be completed.

Why should I use aerator spray regularly?

Regular use improves the performance of the instruments, reduces the need for maintenance and repair and reduces costs in the long term. It is also important for patient safety and hygiene.

Which spray is better?

An ideal aerator spray should have a formula with cleaning properties, protection against rust and corrosion and resistance to high temperatures. Detro Lube Spray is a professional solution that fulfils these requirements.
