No.
The document does not mention the presence of an AI model, and the device's function as an air polisher for dental cleaning primarily relies on mechanical and fluid dynamics principles. The software mentioned is for control and validation, not for AI functionality.
Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for a complete supra-gingival and sub-gingival prophylaxis treatment, including plaque and stain removal, and is explicitly indicated for the non-surgical removal of subgingival plaque in patients suffering from periodontal disease, which are therapeutic functions.
No
The provided text indicates the device is used for prophylaxis treatment, removing dental plaque, soft deposits, and stains, and for air-polishing in patients with periodontal disease. Its functions are therapeutic and maintenance-oriented, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device is a physical dental instrument that projects water, air, and powder onto teeth for cleaning. It has hardware components such as handpieces, a touch keyboard, and requires external water and compressed air. While it includes software for controlling settings, its primary function is performed by physical means.
No.
The device is intended for prophylaxis treatment by projecting water, air, and dental prophylaxis powders onto the tooth surface to remove plaque, deposits, and stains. This is a physical cleaning action, not a diagnostic test performed on specimens derived from the human body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
turbodent touch is intended for a complete supra-gingival and sub-gingival prophylaxis treatment. The prophylaxis treatment is obtained by the projection of water, air and appropriate dental prophylaxis powders, onto the tooth surface. The device removes dental plaque, soft deposits, and surface stains from pits, grooves, interproximal spaces, or smooth surfaces of teeth. turbodent touch is intended for the following oral prophylaxis procedures:
- Plaque removal for placement of sealants
- Surface preparation prior to bonding/cementation of inlays, onlays, crowns and veneers
- Surface preparation prior to placing composite restorations
- Effective plaque and stain removal for orthodontic patients
- Cleaning prior to bonding ortho brackets
- Cleaning implant fixtures prior to loading
- Stain removal for shade determination
- Plaque removal prior to fluoride treatment
- Plaque and stain removal prior to whitening procedures
The turbodent touch is also intended for use as an air-polisher in patients suffering from periodontal disease. The turbodent touch is indicated for the non-surgical removal of subgingival plaque in pockets up to 5 mm after initial periodontal treatment.

Device Description
turbodent touch can be considered a functionally segmented version of the combi touch device (K231391), incorporating exclusively the air polishing functionality. It shares the main components, materials, and manufacturing processes as the combi touch, from which it is derived. The indication for use of turbodent touch is aligned with the air polishing indication of the combi touch.
The turbodent touch uses an operating principle based on the mechanical action of an accelerated powder jet, obtained thanks to compressed air. The kinetic energy imparted to the particles is almost completely dissipated in the impact against the dental surface, producing a delicate but effective cleaning action. The action is completed by a jet of water which, taking advantage of the depression created around the nozzle, is arranged in a bell-like shape surrounding the air and powder mixed flow. The water flow produces a double effect: continuous washing of the area treated from excess powder, and prevention of environmental dissemination of powder in the operating area.
In detail, the turbodent touch is mainly based on one polisher channel and it is equipped with three handpieces, AIR-POLISHING 90°, AIR-POLISHING 120° AND AIR-POLISHING PERIO (handpieces are already cleared, K231391). The device has a touch keyboard, displaying all selectable functions and the value scales that can be set by the user by simply gently pressing the finger at the chosen buttons.
The user-configurable settings include depressurization of the powder containers for safe removal, no powder cleaning mode and consequently the possibility of excluding water as well, circuit filling/rinsing, and air-polishing modes. For each selected air-polishing mode (PROPHY or PERIO), it is possible to choose different power levels (LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH) within a certain range preset by the manufacturer. The air-polishing action is activated by means of a foot pedal.
The irrigation system is completely external with irrigation tubing connecting the handpiece to the machine that has access to the external water network.
The turbodent touch is not intended to interact with other devices during use. About patient interaction, the SUBGINGIVAL PERIO TIPS (already cleared, K231391) attached to the terminal part of the handpiece AIR-POLISHING PERIO, enter into direct contact with the patient's body during use to allow the intended therapeutic functions to take place. These medical devices are supplied sterile and certified by external suppliers. Possible contact of the patient with the external part of the handpiece must be considered in the evaluation.
The production processes carried out internally at Mectron for processing the components of turbodent touch system are mainly assembly processes according to specific workflows and a dedicated production line.
