isclaimer: The following information is provided for educational purposes to explain the clinical mechanisms of our preventive protocols. It is based on current dental research and clinical evidence regarding biofilm management and microbiome modulation.

Modern preventive dentistry focuses on the preservation of natural tooth structure and the active management of the oral microbiome. True oral health requires a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to bacterial balance, rather than just the mechanical removal of plaque.

This page provides a clinical overview of the three core modalities utilized in our minimally invasive maintenance therapy: EMS Airflow, 5ppm Ozone Water, and BioGaia Probiotic Therapy.

1. EMS Airflow: Guided Biofilm Therapy

Dental plaque is fundamentally a bacterial biofilm—a complex matrix of microorganisms that adheres to the teeth and gums. Traditionally, removing this biofilm required mechanical scraping with metal hand instruments.

EMS Airflow is the central component of Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT). As an officially recognized EMS GBT Certified Clinic, PreBeau Oral Care strictly adheres to the evidence-based clinical protocols established by the Swiss Dental Academy.

The system utilizes a precise, pressurized stream of temperature-controlled warm water, air, and ultra-fine erythritol powder to gently disrupt and wash away biofilm. Erythritol particles are only 14 microns in size, making it a highly selective, minimally abrasive method that preserves hard and soft tissues.

Clinical Rationale:

• Minimally Invasive Debridement: Airflow safely removes supragingival (above the gum) and subgingival (below the gum) plaque without causing micro-abrasions to the natural enamel or dentin.
• Preservation of Restorations: It is highly effective at cleaning around delicate areas, including composite resins, ceramics, and dental implants, without scratching or degrading the materials.
• Efficient Stain Removal: The erythritol powder safely lifts extrinsic stains while maintaining the structural integrity of the tooth surface.

Frequently Asked Questions: EMS Airflow

Q: Is EMS Airflow painful? A: No. Unlike traditional cold-water ultrasonic scalers, the EMS Airflow system uses a regulated warm water spray. This makes the procedure highly comfortable, even for patients with severe dentin hypersensitivity or exposed tooth roots.

Q: Will it damage my dental implants or veneers? A: It is completely safe. Because the erythritol powder is biocompatible and microscopic, it cleans delicate ceramic restorations, orthodontic brackets, and implant surfaces without the scratching or dulling caused by metal scalers.

2. 5ppm Ozone (O3) Water Therapy: Antimicrobial Irrigation

Following the mechanical removal of biofilm, it is clinically necessary to manage the microscopic pathogens that remain in the oral cavity, particularly within periodontal pockets. We utilize ozonated water at a controlled concentration of 5 parts-per-million (ppm) as a powerful adjunctive antimicrobial irrigant.

Ozone is a highly reactive molecule that acts as a naturally occurring oxidative agent.

Clinical Rationale:

• Targeted Pathogen Reduction: Ozone exerts severe oxidative stress on the cell walls of cariogenic (cavity-causing) and periodontopathic (gum disease-causing) bacteria, neutralizing them upon contact.
• Tissue Support and Healing: By reducing the localized bacterial load and increasing oxygenation in the surrounding tissues, ozone water supports the natural reduction of gingival inflammation.
• High Safety Profile: Unlike traditional chemical antibiotics, bacteria cannot develop a resistance to ozone.

Frequently Asked Questions: Ozone Water Therapy

Q: What does “5ppm” mean, and why is it important? A: 5 parts-per-million (ppm) is the specific scientific concentration required to maximize antimicrobial efficacy against oral pathogens while remaining entirely safe and non-irritating for your delicate gum tissues.

Q: Are there any side effects or chemical residues? A: No. Ozone (O3) is highly unstable and naturally degrades back into standard oxygen (O2) and water within minutes. There are no toxic chemical residues, making it a completely biocompatible alternative to harsh chemical formulations.

3. BioGaia Probiotic Therapy: Microbiome Management

Clinical disinfection is only the first phase of preventive care. To sustain a healthy oral environment, the mouth must be repopulated with beneficial flora to prevent pathogenic bacteria from immediately recolonizing.

BioGaia Probiotic Therapy utilizes Lactobacillus reuteri Prodentis, a clinically documented strain of beneficial bacteria specifically isolated for oral health. Following clinical therapy, a 1-month regimen of daily BioGaia tablets is prescribed to actively modulate the oral microbiome.

Clinical Rationale:

• Competitive Inhibition: When introduced to the oral cavity, L. reuteri adheres to the soft tissues and enamel, physically occupying the space and consuming the nutrients that pathogenic strains require to survive.
• Reduction of Inflammation: Clinical studies demonstrate that the routine use of L. reuteri Prodentis is associated with reduced plaque indices and a measurable decrease in bleeding on probing (BOP).
• Long-Term Symbiosis: A 30-day continuous application helps establish a stable, symbiotic bacterial environment that serves as a biological defense mechanism between regular dental visits.

Frequently Asked Questions: BioGaia Probiotics

Q: Why do I need to take the tablet for a full month? A: A 30-day continuous application gives the beneficial L. reuteri bacteria the time required to properly colonize your gum tissues, physically crowding out disease-causing pathogens and establishing a stable, self-regulating oral microbiome.

Q: Is this different from a standard gut probiotic or eating yogurt? A: Yes. BioGaia Prodentis contains bacterial strains specifically engineered and proven to survive and adhere in the mouth. Standard digestive probiotics do not offer the same targeted defense against cavities and gingivitis.
