Professional Teeth Cleaning with Air-Flow Prophy Pearls at the Deutsch Dent Clinic

Kavo Prophy Pearls is a new generation powder that is used for professional teeth cleaning based on calcium carbonate (CaCO2).

PROPHYpearls is a revolutionary technology for professional teeth cleaning, characterized by amazing results in removing hard and soft deposits.
Modern dentistry offers many techniques that allow you to efficiently remove tartar and plaque. But this unique method is noted as the most gentle and effective.
Powder particles are granules without sharp corners or edges. This configuration of microparticles ensures maximum contact with the surface of teeth and gums without the risk of damage.

PROPHYpearls teeth cleaning is carried out as follows:

• A special protection for lips and gums, OptraGate, is installed in the oral cavity.
• The enamel surface is treated with PROPHYpearls powder, which is supplied from a pressure apparatus.
• The dentist polishes the teeth with a special paste.

Using PROPHYpearls technology, plaque, stains and biofilm are removed from teeth.
The procedure allows you to remove pigmentation that appears in smokers, as well as in lovers of strong tea and coffee.
Another feature is the use of the innovative OptraGate method of isolating the gums and lips.
Hypoallergenic elastic material guarantees maximum protection of soft tissues without limiting the mobility of the lower jaw.

The OptraGate system provides 100% protection to the patient's lips and gums during the procedure. Absolutely neutral PROPHYpearls can be used for professional teeth cleaning of patients suffering from allergic reactions. This is a modern, fast and non-aggressive method of cleaning teeth.

Cleaning is carried out using a special powder containing calcium carbonate granules. An air-water mixture with a finely dispersed substance is supplied from the nozzle of the apparatus under pressure. Gentle deep cleaning is achieved due to the structure and size of PROPHYpearls particles. Unlike coarse soda abrasive (sodium bicarbonate), spherical granules are used here. Thanks to this and their small size, they have more points of contact with the tooth surface and act more gently on the enamel.

Smooth spherical particles do not repel from the surface, but roll down it. The porous structure allows you to effectively collect plaque, delicately polishing the enamel. PROPHYpearls granules are placed on the treated area at a working angle that varies from 10° to 60°. The sliding effect reduces cleaning time: a cleansing session with PROPHYpearls will require significantly less time than with a standard procedure.
