“…This novel approach to biofilm removal substantially facilitates periodontal debridement. Air-polishing devices were first introduced to dentistry in 1945 9) , and have been used for professional mechanical tooth cleaning since the 1980s, primarily using a powder based on sodium bicarbonate 10,11) . The airpolishing device technique offers a user-friendly mode of biofilm removal in patients with periodontitis and peri-implantitis.…”

Treatment to replace missing teeth with implants has been available for nearly 50 years. However, many implants are subject to peri-implantitis because of resorption of the bone supporting the implant. Therefore periodontal maintenance to avoid bacterial infection around an implant device is essential. There are several methods of maintenance available to remove bacterial infections. One of these methods involves the direct removal of bacterial infection in the implant sulcus using tooth surface abrasives. Abrasives that contain glycine are recommended because of their biocompatibility with the tooth surface. The purpose of this study was to examine the cellular behavior of human gingival epithelial cells on the surface after abrasion with adjunctive glycine air-polishing powder. We treated the titanium surface with air-polishing abrasives containing glycine or sodium bicarbonate, then examined the structural surface change and wettability, as well as the proliferative potency and gene expression of adherent gingival epithelial cells. The glycine-containing abrasives exhibited higher biocompatibility than the sodium bicarbonate abrasive, and the use of abrasives with small average particle size may be useful in the removal of bacterial infections around implants.

“…In many study, it was shown that air-polishing devices became time-saving and effective in the application on normal enamel surface [19][20][21][22][23]. However, it does not generally lead to surface modification and loss of materials to be able to be detected clinically [23,24].…”

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of three different polishing procedures on surface roughness occuring after sonic scaling. Material and Methods:Dental calculus on 60 extracted teeth stored in distilled water was removed using a sonic device. Surface roughness was measured by profilometer and then samples were divided into 3 groups. Polishing was applied to the samples in first group by rotary rubber cup and prophylaxis paste, to the samples in second group by air-flow, and to the samples in third group by stainbuster bur. The surface roughness measurements taken were recorded by profilometer at every stage.Results: A significant reduction was determined in surface roughness in the groups used prophylaxis paste and stainbuster bur and the reduction was similar between these groups. In the group used air-flow, a significant reduction could not be detected in the surface roughness. Conclusion:Stainbuster bur may be an alternative method for traditional polishing material, because of providing the ease of application such as air-polishing techniques and providing smooth surfaces like prophylaxis paste.Clinical Relevance: Stainbuster bur may be an alternative method for traditional polishing material, because of providing the ease of application such as airpolishing techniques and providing smooth surfaces like prophylaxis paste.

In-vitro Study of Surface Changes in Fixed Orthodontic Appliances Following Air Polishing with Clinpro™ Prophy and Air-Flow®

The surface changes in archwires and brackets caused by air-polishing devices when applying the Clinpro Prophy and Air-Flow((R)) powders can be considered as marginal overall. When the adjacent periodontium is intact, both powders are equally suitable, although the Air-Flow((R)) powder is somewhat more effective due to its greater abrasiveness. When using plastic brackets, Clinpro Prophy proved to be the powder of choice, thanks to its low abrasiveness.
