What equipment is used to perform a limited rinse?

  1. Air-water syringe and HVE

  2. Vacuum pump

  3. Saliva ejector

  4. Ultrasonic cleaner

The correct answer is: Air-water syringe and HVE

An air-water syringe and HVE (high volume evacuator) are used to perform a limited rinse because they allow for precise control and removal of water and debris from the mouth. B The vacuum pump is used for suction during procedures, but it does not provide a limited rinse. C: The saliva ejector is used to remove saliva from the mouth, but it is not as effective as the air-water syringe and HVE for a limited rinse. D: The ultrasonic cleaner is used for cleaning and disinfecting dental instruments, but it is not used for performing a limited rinse.
