Biofilm Management & Air-Polishing

We help you transform your dental practice with advanced biofilm management. We evaluate your clinical setup to implement evidence-based protocols that improve patient care, extend hygiene careers, and boost overall efficiency.

What is Modern Biofilm Management?

Biofilm management is an evidence-based approach to minimally invasive preventative and hygiene services. This modern method is designed to visualize and completely eliminate dysbiotic bacteria &biofilm with unparalleled precision. Moving past traditional scraping, this approach utilizes advanced air-polishing technology to gently and thoroughly clean above and below the gumline. It transforms the standard hygiene appointment into a highly effective, comfortable, and modern therapeutic experience for patients.

The foundation of biofilm management rests on three core pillars: visual plaque disclosing, gentle subgingival air-polishing, and the restoration of a healthy host-microbiome.

The Science of Dysbiosis

The oral microbiome thrives on a delicate balance, but when pathogenic bacteria take over, oral dysbiosis occurs. Crucially, the 2017 AAP consensus deplatformed calculus as the primary direct cause of periodontal disease. While calculus remains a key contributing factor and retentive surface for plaque, dysbiotic bacterial biofilm is now recognized as the direct etiology of periodontal destruction.

Understanding the oral microbiome fundamentally changes how clinicians view patient care. Instead of viewing hygiene as simply scaling away hard calculus and pushing around biofilm, clinicians can begin treating patients through the lens of host-microbiome dynamics and systemic health.

The Power of Powder

Biofilm management is not a traditional Cavi-Jet. Our "old-school" jets rely on abrasive sodium bicarbonate, restricting their use to supragingival enamel only. The secret lies in ultra-low-abrasive powders like erythritol and tagatose, allowing them to be used nearly everywhere.

These specialized, ultra-fine powders safely target deep subgingival pockets, delicate soft tissues, and dental implants without damage. Beyond physical clearance, these agents actively inhibit bacterial regrowth, change the pH of the oral environment and can even act as a prebiotic.

All of these factors combined truly make it the best standard of care as we can now focus on reaching oral symbiosis.

Patient-Centred Care (PCC)

This innovative, tested, and proven technology offers a gentle, effective and non-invasive approach to hygiene care.

Traditional scaling can be painful and anxiety-inducing for patients. Our biofilm management framework prioritizes Patient-Centred Care (PCC) by utilizing professional plaque disclosing agents before gently removing it with warm water and fine tagatose or erythritol powders. This shifts the patient from a passive observer to an engaged participant, dramatically reducing dental anxiety.

Extending Hygiene Careers

Repetitive strain injuries from aggressive hand-scaling and even biofilm removal with cavitron cut far too many hygiene careers short. By adopting advanced air-polishing protocols, your team relies on technology to do the heavy lifting, reducing physical strain on wrists, hands, and shoulders by up to 80%. Investing in this technology is a direct investment in your hygienists' physical health, workplace satisfaction, employment loyalty, and career longevity.

What They Say

"Yes I am totally in love with the machine! This has completely changed how I view and treat patients."

— Amy RDH, Perley Health

Why It’s Good for the Patient

Patients immediately feel and see the difference of a non-abrasive, whisper-quiet cleaning that eliminates the scraping sound and sensitivity of traditional hygiene visits. Not only does it treat periodontal disease at it's core, this technology delivers the highest standard of care available on the market today. Because the process is fast, gentle, and highly effective, patients leave your practice with a completely redefined perception of preventative care.

Why It’s Good for Business

A common question when transitioning to biofilm management is what the financial picture looks like: in short, it’s exceptionally bright. Shifting from traditional hygiene to advanced gum therapy opens up new protocols, treatments, and options for your patients. By shortening time spent on tedious mechanical debridement, your team frees up crucial chair time while reducing the need for referrals to periodontal specialists, leading to more successful rehabilitations directly through your practice's programming. Reducing physical strain on hygienists extends career longevity and builds deeper clinic loyalty, protecting your practice from costly employee turnover. Coupled with the visual nature of biofilm disclosure that builds instant patient trust, this shift paves the way for higher case acceptance across restorative, cosmetic, and advanced periodontal treatments.
