AIR-FLOW PERIO TREATMENT

Indications

The AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO/ AIR-FLOW handy 3.0 PERIO Premium use with the handpiece
AIR-FLOW PERIO and the nozzles is recommended for the following cleaning procedures :
• Maintenance of periodontal pockets deeper than 5 mm up to 10 mm by biofilm removal

Contra-indications

Patients suffering from chronic bronchitis or asthma must not, under any circumstances, be treated
with an air polishing device. The jet of air and powder could cause respiratory difficulties.
The treatment of deep periodontal pockets can cause bacteraemia. Please apply appropriate
restrictions for the treatment of risk patients (endocarditis, pregnancy, breast feeding, contagious disease,
immune deficiency, neutropenia, agranulocytosis, diabetes, haemophilia), patients under treatment
(radiotherapy, chemotherapy, antibiotics).
Do not use AIR-FLOW PERIO handpiece with nozzle immediately after subgingival cleaning (Ultra-
sonic or hand instrumentation).
Predisposed persons may be sensitive to the powder. If allergic reactions are observed, stop using
the product and completely remove it.
The use of any other powder than the EMS powders for subgingival application would reduce the
nozzle's service life. As a result the treatment would become ineffective and would increase the risk of
emphysema.
The powders provided by EMS are especially designed for use with the unit. Do not use powders
from other manufacturers as this could damage the unit or could adversely affect its efficiency.
For more details about the EMS powder, please read the relative operation instructions
