At expatdental®, we are deeply about every patient’s experience. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for new dental technology! The dental hygiene system, Air-N-Go®, is a comprehensive solution that offers efficient cleaning, better patient comfort, and advanced air purification capabilities.
Dental Problems the Air-N-Go® Can Help with:
- Mainly used to safely and effectively clean around implants, veneers and crowns without causing damage to the materials
- We have also used it for a patient with gum disease who’s gums did not show much healing after a deep clean
Key Benefits of the Air-N-Go® Dental Hygiene System:
- Better Patient Comfort
- The system uses glycine powder which allows for a gentle treatment with limited bleeding
- Effective Biofilm Removal for Supra and Sub-Gingival Surfaces
- Plaque removal during periodontal cleaning
- Prevents progression of the sub-gingival biofilm
- Supra-gingival powders consist of sodium bicarbonate-based classic powders which remove colored stains and bacterial plaque, even in areas that are difficult to access.
- Sub-gingival powders are natural glycine-based powders which have low abrasiveness and preserve the treated surfaces (teeth and implants) including the most fragile anatomical areas.
- Gentle and Effective Treatment on All Restorative Work and Surrounding Tissues
- Low abrasiveness preserving the treated surfaces, including, crowns, veneers, implants and composites
- Ability to confidently clean around all restorative work and implants without causing inadvertent damage such as chipping a veneer, scratching an implant, dull the surface of a polished composite, or damage the root surface or abrade the soft tissues
- Ultimately providing a more thorough, gentle and safe cleaning
- Can be Used for Orthodontics Patients
- Can be used for ortho patients to help remove biofilm which is the bigger issue than tartar for young ortho patients
- Gingival overgrowth would fare better with a less abrasive biofilm removal

“Subgingival glycine powder air polishing (subGPAP) has been reported to reduce the amount of tooth structure lost during conventional SRP and causes less patient discomfort and pain. The present review highlights its effectiveness in improving periodontal clinical parameters.”
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22626061
“Air polishing with glycine powder may be considered as a better method to remove plaque from dental implant because glycine is less aggressive than sodium bicarbonate powder.”

“Air abrasion with glycine powder can achieve effective decontamination when used alone and it provides an environment that enhances bone regeneration even without bone grafting.”
“For exposed root surfaces, sodium bicarbonate cannot be recommended.” ….. even five-second exposure with air polishing devices using sodium bicarbonate powder showed considerable surface defects.”
“For patients being seen on a frequent interval, the goal should be the removal of as much biofilm as possible, as comfortably as possible, as efficiently as possible, and as safely as possible.”
