Benefits

PERIO-FLOW® NOZZLE  Gentle application of kinetic energy (airpowder-water mixture)

 Precise spray

 No damage to the epithelium or connective tissue  No scratching of the tooth surface  allows working along the gingival line without hurting the patient

 Very fine spray particles  Specialized the tip

of

 Flexible tip

 No curettes  Capable of removing biofilm in just 5 seconds.

 excellent interproximal access  s treatment of subgingival and supragingival periodontal pockets  Allows convenience to the dentist  Greater access to all areas  No noise; more ease and patient comfort- painless  Cost and time efficient

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES: 1. Removes stain 3.15 times faster than a curette. 2. Removes up to 100 % of biofilm 3. More comfortable for patient 4. Greater access for malaligned teeth and pits / fissures 5. No heat generated 6. Stain removal made easier 7. No pressure against teeth 8. Non direct procedure 9. Enhanced clinician ergonomics 10. Increased efficiency- less time than traditional polishing methods DENTAL APPLICATIONS DETAILS: 1. Prophylaxis- painlessly removes plaque, soft deposits and discolorations, even from interproximal areas; removes stains and colorations for better caries diagnosis

2. Orthodontics- cleans fixed bands and brackets, prepares tooth surface for bonding, removes bracket adhesive 3. Pedodontics (sealing of fissures)- removes organic debris and gram anaerobic bacteria; reduces the likelihood of caries forming under sealant 4. Prosthetics & Preventive Dentistry- removes superficial contaminations and smear layer; assures that composites, porcelain inlays, crowns, bridges, and laminated veneers bond properly and are long lasting after air-flow, teeth show natural color, helping match exact shades 5. Aesthetic Dentistry- improves bleaching eliminating “bleach blocking” smear layer
