General information
AirFlow or ultrasonic cleaning?
In dentistry, when cleaning teeth, Air flow uses a device that acts on plaque using high-frequency vibrations. This uses the latest AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master. The technique effectively removes the outer layers of plaque and helps lighten the enamel surface by a couple of shades. During the procedure, a special polishing paste is applied to the chewing units.
The Airflow method is performed using a device that shoots small abrasive particles under high pressure. This allows you to break up hard plaque, which is then removed with water.
Air Flow is considered one of the gentlest methods for the oral mucosa. It is used in hygiene and is intended to prepare for the treatment of dental diseases.
Table showing the differences between these methods:
| Methodology | Airflow cleaning | Hygiene with ultrasound |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism of action | Air-abrasive flow | Ultrasonic waves |
| Pressure | High pressure abrasive composition | Direct ultrasound exposure |
| Efficiency | Effective against soft deposits | Copes with outdated tartar |
| Security | Safe for all types of dental structures | Not recommended for braces and veneers |
| Applicability | Applicable to any designs | Limited to use on natural molars |
| Cost | The cost of air flow cleaning is reasonable | Affordable price |
After professional hygiene (ultrasonic removal of tartar and plaque cleaning with AirFlow), sometimes there is a feeling of dry enamel and increased sensitivity.
If the enamel was initially healthy, AirFlow usually does not lead to such consequences. Increased sensitivity occurs after ultrasonic cleaning, especially in places where tartar has been removed. Sensitivity usually decreases within 2 weeks. In case of ongoing discomfort, it is recommended to use pastes for sensitive units. Mineralizing gels also help. They should be applied to clean teeth.

Why is plaque on teeth dangerous?
The main advantage of Airflow teeth cleaning is the complete removal of harmful microorganisms in the mouth. In particular, Air flow helps get rid of microbes that cause gum disease and caries.
Additional benefits:
In order to maintain the health of the enamel and the beauty of your smile, it is recommended to brush your teeth in the clinic using Air Flow technology 2 times a year. If there are risk factors (smoking, eating food and drinks with dyes, a genetic tendency to plaque and stones, and the use of braces), the procedure should be performed more often.
