X-Smart® Go Spray Nozzle F-Type

X-Smart® Go · Dentsply Sirona · F-type spray nozzle

Lubrication is mandatory after every case, and it needs this nozzle

The cheapest part in the X-Smart® Go range protects the most expensive one. Dentsply Sirona's instruction is not a recommendation: lubricating the contra-angle is mandatory after each use and before sterilisation. The F-type nozzle is what connects a handpiece spray can to the back of the head – without it the oil goes nowhere near the gears. A spare in the decontamination room costs less than a lost morning.

The procedure, as Dentsply Sirona set it out

1 Screw the nozzle onto the spray with approximately ten turns, then insert it into the rear part of the contra-angle.

2 Hold the head securely – the instructions warn it can detach under the pressure of the spray – and lubricate for two to three seconds, until oil comes out of the head.

3 Wipe off the excess and let it drain. Stand the head on its end or lean it at an angle, and only mount it once the surplus oil has run out.

4 Recalibrate the motor. The instructions ask for calibration every time the head has been sterilised, lubricated or exchanged.

Two warnings worth repeating

›  Do not lubricate the motor handpiece. Oil belongs in the head and nowhere else on this device.
›  Never use a spray can upside down – it delivers propellant rather than oil.

Questions we get asked

Which spray does it take?
A dedicated handpiece lubricant. Dentsply Sirona name KaVo Spray and W&H Service Oil MD-400 in the instructions as the sprays they recommend for this head. We do not currently stock either – ask us and we will tell you where we are with it rather than sell you something that is not on the list.

Can I skip it if the head goes through a washer-disinfector?
No – that is the one place the instructions say to lubricate immediately after thermal disinfection as well. Washing takes the old oil out; nothing puts it back but you.
