AIR-FLOW® handy PERIO

AIR-FLOW handy PERIO: biofilm removal to the base of the pocket

With the Air-Flow handy Perio EMS is now penetrating into the subgingival area. According to the manufacturer, the innovative Air-Flow handy Perio is the first and only portable Perio device which enables safe and effective removal of subgingival biofilm. Based on the successful Air-Flow handy 2+ series and the Air-Flow Master, which was awarded an innovation prize, this handpiece again provides the dentist with an ergonomic masterpiece which EMS says is ideal for treating patients and enables the complete removal of biofilm. The transparent dome and the power chamber have come out in pink. In this combination the white handy is once again a genuine eye-catcher. Together with the Air-Flow powder Perio, the single-use Perio nozzle reaches down to the base of the periodontal pocket.

The biofilm impairs the removal of bacteria
Micro-organisms establish themselves and multiply. The bacterial community develops its own protection: microbes come off and colonize new areas. In some cases the body's immune system is helpless. To prevent the penetration of the microbes the body triggers a bone deterioration process as an "emergency response". Since the biofilm protects the bacteria against pharmaceuticals, treatment has been very difficult to date. That is why EMS wants to mount an attack on damaging biofilm as part of subgingival prophylaxis treatment with an application summed up in the words "Air-Flow kills biofilm". Using this method dentists can also effectively treat the continuously growing number of cases of peri-implantitis among implant patients and counter the impending loss of implants.
