AIR-FLOW® handy PERIO

Biofilm - a dirty word...

The AIR-FLOW handy PERIO from EMS, the world’s first subgingival prophylaxis handy device for the treatment center, effectively removes biofilm by reaching deep down to the base of periodontal pocketswithout causing damage to either the root cement or the gum. Used in combination with the PERIO-FLOW^® nozzle and AIR-FLOW powder PERIO, it brings about a lasting reduction in bacteria, tightens the gums and decreases pocket depth.

As germs tend to colonize further areas, the breeding ground for bacteria develops its own protection. The growth of biofilm helps protect bacteria from pharmaceuticals. Even the body’s immune defenses are powerless. The body triggers a bone decomposition process in self-defense against the intrusion of germs.

Like natural teeth, implants are equally affected by biofilm and eventually are lost due to peri-implantitis.

The AIR-FLOW handy PERIO provides for regular implant prophylaxis without alteration of the implant surface, even by multiple treatments. Its "plug 'n' play" connector to the dental chair turbine is the perfect solution for those who are looking for maximum flexibility without any compromise in the treatment efficiency.
