Could you explain this shortly? We chose this slogan because getting rid of biofilm is key in pre- ventive dentistry. Biofilm is the cause of caries and periodontitis. Our “Bye, Bye Biofilm” slogan stresses the importance of profes- sional prophylaxis. All our other messages like “Save the tooth”, “Save the im- plant”, “Bye, Bye Biofilm”, “NO PAIN” or “I FEEL GOOD” describe exactly the business that we are in. Our new concepts enhance pa- tient satisfaction which is impor- tant for running a modern and successful dental practice. With the AIR-FLOW and the new PLUS powder, the surface of the tooth can be completely removed of biofilm sub- and supragingivally without abrasion, The natural enamel prisms remain intact. There is no further need for pol- ishing with a rubber cup and abrasive paste.
