AIRFLOW® PERIO

Periodontal Biofilm Management

The AIRFLOW® PERIO powder marked the very beginning of subgingival AIRFLOW® treatments. Thanks to its low specific-gravity and fine grain size of 25 microns, the AIRFLOW® PERIO powder is delicate and respectful of soft tissue, gingiva, palatal areas and natural tooth surfaces.

What is EMS AIRFLOW® PERIO Powder?

EMS AIRFLOW® PERIO Powder is a glycine-based prophylaxis powder specifically formulated for both supragingival and subgingival biofilm removal. Its fine particle size of approximately 25 µm and low specific gravity make it gentle on soft tissues, gingiva, palatal areas, and natural tooth and implant surfaces. This powder is particularly effective in periodontal and peri-implant biofilm management.
