A Precision Tool for Biofilm Removal Above and Below the Gumline
Designed for both supragingival and subgingival care, NSK’s Perio-Mate streamlines biofilm removal with a gentle, efficient system that prioritizes patient comfort and clinical versatility.
Oral health professionals seeking a cutting-edge solution for comprehensive periodontal debridement now have a new ally in their armamentarium: the NSK Perio-Mate. Engineered for seamless integration into modern clinical workflows, Perio-Mate delivers effective, minimally invasive removal of biofilm from both supragingival and subgingival areas, including hard-to-access periodontal pockets.
Dual Functionality
One of the most distinguishing features of the Perio-Mate system is its dual-functionality, offering flexibility for a wide range of applications. Clinicians can remove the Perio Mate Nozzle Tip to treat subgingival areas up to 3 mm from the gumline — the sites that require the most frequent maintenance. The system’s powder flow adjustment feature allows for tailored treatment depending on the area being cleaned.
The Perio-Mate Powder, a glycine-based compound with a particle diameter of 25 microns, ensures effective yet gentle removal of plaque biofilm. Water-soluble and biocompatible, the powder is designed for safe use in both supra- and subgingival settings. The air-polish process significantly reduces bacterial load, enhancing overall patient outcomes.
With NSK’s proprietary fluid analysis technology, the system optimizes powder spray distribution, ensuring uniform, multidirectional flow that minimizes soft tissue trauma. Unlike traditional devices, this balanced delivery mechanism helps avoid unnecessary contact with periodontal tissues, enabling safer subgingival application.
Ergonomics and Patient Comfort
Ergonomics and patient comfort also take center stage. The handpiece is lightweight, fully autoclavable (excluding disposable tips), and designed for 360° rotation, allowing clinicians to maintain precision and comfort even during extended procedures. The slim, flexible nozzle tip enhances visibility and maneuverability in the confined spaces of the oral cavity.
The Perio-Mate excels in ease of use. The system is simple to disassemble and clean, with minimal risk of powder clogging thanks to a short and direct powder flow channel. The disposable nozzle tips are individually packaged, sterile, and made of semitransparent material for improved visibility and safety during procedures.
Benefits
In clinical practice, Perio-Mate proves to be an efficient tool for:
- Supragingival care. Effective removal of light stains and plaque in hard-to-reach spaces, around implants, and on prosthetic restorations without abrasion.
- Subgingival debridement. Gentle, noncontact cleaning of periodontal pockets 3 to 5 mm deep, preserving soft tissue integrity while accessing root surfaces and tight spaces.
Ultimately, NSK’s Perio-Mate elevates the standard of care for periodontal care. Its design reflects a deep understanding of clinical realities—prioritizing precision, patient safety, and usability. For dental teams committed to offering high-performance, minimally invasive solutions for biofilm control, Perio-Mate stands out as a modern essential.
