Description

Dive into the subgingival biofilm’s depths, which poses significant challenges for dental professionals and patients. Traditionally, the war on subgingival biofilm has been waged with manual and powered tools. However, the past five years in North America and over two decades in Europe have shifted towards air-pressured biofilm disruption devices, utilizing fine, low-abrasive powders for managing both supragingival and subgingival biofilms. This course offers an evidence-informed examination of airflowing technology and its practical role in biofilm control. This condensed seminar will empower clinicians with the latest insights and tools to manage dental biofilms and ensure optimal patient outcomes effectively. Learning Objectives: Grasp the complexities of the oral microbiome. Comprehend the emerging immunological concepts of symbiosis and dysbiosis. Recognize the significance of risk assessments. Incorporate air-pressured devices and powders into treatment protocols. Make informed decisions using air-pressured technologies.

Since1981, the Swiss company EMS has evolved into one of the most successful dental companies worldwide. Due to the concentrated power of the medium-sized company, consisting of innovative technology, perfection, precision and Swiss quality the dental prophylaxis has achieved an entirely new and virtually pain-free standard. Especially 2 prophylaxis methods represent the particularity of EMS: the AIRFLOW® method ensures the reliable removal of soft tooth deposits and the original method Piezon® with the unique NO-PAIN® technology removes hard deposits supra- and subgingival and leaves extra smooth tooth surfaces, maximum protected gums and relaxed patients. By combining these two methods with 8-step protocol GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY, the first compact prophylaxis unity of the world was born: the AIRFLOW Master Piezon®. In use with the new AIRFLOW® powder PLUS (fine particle size of 14 microns), treatments are possible both above and below the gingival margin. This holistic kind of prophylaxis creates a gold standard which offers unequalled opportunities.
