AIR-FLOW Therapy is much more than an air polisher! The advanced biofilm management system is uniquely equipped to reach and remove biofilm on even the most difficult and delicate surfaces, where rubber cups have limited access, or hand and power scaling would take too long. The system is ideal for use on crowded teeth, implants, subgingivally, around ortho brackets – the list goes on.

Using a mixture of air, water and glycine-based powder, AIR-FLOW Therapy is gentle, safe and comfortable for patients, and simple, efficient and effective for clinicians.

More efficient, better for the patient
Removing biofilm is important to patient health and periodontal disease prevention. AIR-FLOW Therapy with glycine powder not only completely removes biofilm from supra and subgingival surfaces, it also saves clinicians 8-12 minutes per patient (when using AIR-FLOW prior to scaling) by making biofilm removal faster, calculus detection easier and by eliminating rubber cup polishing. This 8-12 minutes can be spent updating charts or recommending and performing additional billable services or procedures (whitening, clear aligners, sealants, etc). Patients love the AIR-FLOW Therapy experience. And, greater patient satisfaction means increased patient retention and more referrals.

AIR-FLOW Therapy offers both clinical and business benefits for your practice. It can be used for regular cleanings, as well as for ortho, perio maintenance and cleaning around restorations. The payoff will quickly become apparent when you use AIR-FLOW Therapy on most or all of your patients.
