Due to the concentrated power of the medium-sized company, consisting of innovative technology, perfection, precision and Swiss quality the dental prophylaxis has achieved an entirely new and virtually pain-free standard.Especially 2 prophylaxis methods represent the particularity of EMS: the AIRFLOW® method ensures the reliable removal of soft tooth deposits and the original method Piezon® with the unique NO-PAIN® technology removes hard deposits supra- and subgingival and leaves extra smooth tooth surfaces, maximum protected gums and relaxed patients.By combining these two methods with 8-step protocol GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY, the first compact prophylaxis unity of the world was born: the AIRFLOW Master Piezon®. In use with the new AIRFLOW® powder PLUS (fine particle size of 14 microns), treatments are possible both above and below the gingival margin.This holistic kind of prophylaxis creates a gold standard which offers unequalled opportunities." } ] } ] ```
