Sonicare AirFloss is developed to provide an alternative to traditional flossing. With a quick burst, microdroplets of water are accelerated by pressurized air to disturb and remove plaque in between teeth. Philips, the manufacturer, claims that AirFloss can clean between all teeth in 60 seconds. Unlike the traditional oral irrigators, AirFloss is portable, and rechargeable.
Research Article:
This study compared Waterpik Water Floss and Sonicare AirFloss. Both devices demonstrated significant reduction in gingivitis and bleeding on probing. However, the test group used Waterpik showed significant improvement in overall gingivitis reduction than AirFloss. Waterpik also was twice as effective for the lingual legion.
This study compared the effectiveness of an oral irrigator and waxed dental floss on gingival bleeding. The daily use of an oral irrigator was significantly more effective in reducing gingival bleeding than waxed dental floss.
This video shows the Airfloss microburst in slow motion. The microburst removes the plaque biofilm substitute between two teeth on a typodont in one burst.
