The most common cause of gingivitis and periodontitis is bacterial plaque. It is critical to remove this bacterial plaque in order to maintain a healthy periodontium. The amount of plaque that forms is determined by the roughness of the tooth structure. Traditional plaque removal procedures had a number of disadvantages, including the loss of healthy tooth structure, which increased dentinal hypersensitivity, a time-consuming procedure that might result in gingival lacerations and bleeding, the need to sharpen instruments, and operator fatigue. The air-powder abrasive technology achieves the desired plaque and debris clearance, surface smoothness with minimal operator fatigue, and prevents tooth structure loss, reducing hypersensitivity and gingival tissue lacerations. Powders of various compositions, particle sizes, and applications are now accessible. The abrasive powder used is determined by the equipment, the operator's preference, the type of deposit to be removed, and any medical contraindications. As a result, the newer, less abrasive air powder polishing technique is a viable alternative to oral prophylaxis.
