The Airwave Difference

EMS AIRFLOW® & Guided Biofilm Therapy

Airwave uses a modern, systematic approach to professional dental hygiene built on three Swiss-engineered EMS technologies — AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW® and PIEZON®. Instead of scraping every surface by default, we make biofilm visible first and then remove it in a defined order.

The Protocol

Guided Biofilm Therapy

Five clear steps, every visit.

  1. 01AssessHealth history, oral health screening and risk review.
  2. 02DiscloseBiofilm is made visible so we clean what is actually there.
  3. 03AIRFLOW®Warm water, air and fine powder remove biofilm and stain.
  4. 04PIEZON®Ultrasonic precision only where calculus remains.
  5. 05ReviewFinal check, home-care coaching and a personalized recall.

Disclosing makes plaque visible so both you and your hygienist can see exactly where biofilm accumulates. It guides the cleaning — and it makes home care easier to improve between visits.

AIRFLOW®

Advanced Biofilm & Stain Management

AIRFLOW® combines warm water, air and a fine erythritol powder in a controlled spray that removes biofilm and surface stains from teeth, the gumline and hard-to-reach areas — without the instrument contacting the tooth.

Because it works without scraping enamel, it is a gentle, minimally invasive part of preventive care, and it is also used around restorations, orthodontic appliances and implants where careful handling matters.

PIEZON®

Precision Where It Matters

Once biofilm and stain have been removed, PIEZON® addresses the calculus that remains. Its linear ultrasonic movement is designed to work precisely along tooth surfaces and below the gumline.

Within Guided Biofilm Therapy, PIEZON® is used deliberately — only where calculus is present — supporting a comfortable, targeted appointment.
