Powder for professional dental hygiene: experts' choice

 

Professional hygiene powder is not just an abrasive but a complex combination of particles whose geometry and size determine the outcome of the procedure. In modern dentistry, we are moving away from aggressive “grinding” toward selective biofilm removal. Properly selected powder allows removal of smoker’s stains, pigmentation, and mineralized deposits while preserving enamel integrity and dentinal tubules.

Who is this solution designed for and why?

  • Hygienists and general dentists: standard professional hygiene protocol (removal of dense plaque).
  • Periodontists: work in the subgingival area (soft glycine-based fractions).
  • Orthodontists: cleaning of bracket systems and retainers.
  • Aesthetic dentists: preparation of enamel for whitening or veneer bonding — maximum adhesion is possible only on a perfectly clean surface.

Technical Characteristics: The Physics of Cleanliness

MDS powders are developed considering the hydrodynamics of air-polishing handpieces, preventing clogging of the internal equipment channels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can powders from different manufacturers be mixed?
Not recommended. Different particle fractions and weights may cause uneven flow and handpiece clogging.

What is the shelf life after opening the bottle?
If the cap is tightly closed — until the expiration date indicated on the packaging. The main risk is moisture.

Why does the powder clog the handpiece?
The reason is moist air in the system or the use of powders with uneven particle fractions.
