Air polishing is a process of using compressed air to spray powder and water on the tooth surface through air-polishing equipment to remove the attachments (such as biofilm, pigment, soft dirt, etc.) and polish the tooth surface. Air polishing has become an indispensable tool for biofilm control in the new era. Compared with traditional ultrasonic scaling, air polishing is more efficient and comfortable, causing no scratch to the tooth surface, and is less likely to harm soft tissues, so as to reduce patient tension.
