"HVE Big Bore?" The myth that "bigger is better" has been debunked.... The statement circulating around by dental educators that an "HVE has to have 8mm bore or larger" is scientifically flawed. In the article “Aerosols and Splatter In Dentistry“ by Harrell and Molinary, it states, “The usual HVE used in dentistry has a large opening (usually 8 mm or greater) and is attached to an evacuation system that will remove a large volume of air (up to 100 cubic ft per minute)." This article was written in 2004, twenty years ago. Back then, a straight HVE tip plugged into the valve/tubing was the only main apparatus for an HVE used at the terminus end point. There were really no other options available for clinicans to use. So, when they mentioned “evacuation system pulling 100 cubic feet per minute” and that it had to be “8mm or greater,” with all due respect the reference was about the strength of the vacuum motor and size of tubing used in installation to the on/off valve! 100 cubic feet per minute? Are you serious? This is an extreme exaggeration as most units would only be capable of 1/10th of that level of performance. There is simple math equation for calculating airflow measurment and speed shown below. . To simplify the equation in easy to understand terms, 1 cubic foot of air is equal to about 7.5 gallons. 100 cubic feet of air is approximately 748 gallons. A visual example would be to take two of the largest lawn and leaf garbage bags which are 42 gallons each and fill them with air. and then extract all the air from both bags in 1 minute! Hmmm… That is a task I don’t believe even NASA could accomplish. I have questions and concerns for any company which would base a claim using inaccurate information in an attempt to bring credibility in the promotion of a product. The statement that an HVE has to have 8mm bore or larger is scientifically flawed.

The math is simple. If you need to do three things at once as a dentist or hygienist, you need three hands. You simply cannot hold all of your instruments at once to clean a patient's teeth, evacuate the patient's saliva and view hard-to-see spots with a mirror. That's where Nu-Bird instruments come in. The mirror IS an HVE suction device, doing double duty without sacrificing the effectiveness of either. Do yourself and your patients a favor. Make your work more effective and easier with Nu-Bird HVE mirrors. Visit www.nu-bird.com to learn more. #HVE #ergonomic #dental #dentalmirror #mirror #hygiene #dentalhygiene #nubird
