Professional teeth cleaning with Air-Flow Prophy Pearls at the Deutsch Dent clinic

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

PROPHYpearls is a revolutionary technology for professional teeth cleaning that delivers stunning results in removing hard and soft plaque.
Modern dentistry offers many methods for effectively removing tartar and plaque. But this unique method has been recognized as the most gentle and effective.
The powder particles are granules without sharp corners or edges. This microparticle configuration ensures maximum contact with the surface of the teeth and gums without the risk of damage.

PROPHYpearls teeth cleaning procedure is as follows:

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

PROPHYpearls technology removes plaque, stains and biofilm from teeth.
The procedure helps remove pigmentation that occurs in smokers, as well as in those who drink strong tea and coffee.
Another feature is the use of an innovative method of isolating the gums and lips, OptraGate.
The hypoallergenic elastic material guarantees maximum protection of soft tissues without limiting the mobility of the lower jaw.

The OptraGate system provides 100% protection for the patient's lips and gums during the procedure. Completely neutral PROPHYpearls can be used for professional teeth cleaning for patients with allergies. This is a modern, fast, and non-invasive method of teeth cleaning.

Cleaning is performed using a special powder containing calcium carbonate granules. A finely dispersed air-water mixture is ejected from the device's nozzle under pressure. Gentle, deep cleaning is achieved thanks to the structure and size of PROPHYpearls' particles. Unlike coarse soda abrasives (sodium bicarbonate), PROPHYpearls uses spherical granules. This, combined with their small size, allows them to achieve more contact points with the tooth surface, delivering a gentler cleaning action on the enamel.

Smooth, spherical particles roll off the surface rather than bounce off it. Their porous structure effectively absorbs plaque while gently polishing the enamel. PROPHYpearls are applied to the area being treated at a working angle ranging from 10° to 60°. This gliding effect reduces brushing time: a PROPHYpearls cleaning session takes significantly less time than a standard procedure.
