3.3.1- Risk of emphysema
To limit the risk, always follow contraindications, recommendations and detailed instructions.
Subcutaneous emphysema occurs as a result of an abnormal introduction or presence of air or gas into tissue or tissue spaces.
It has been recognized and documented as a complicating factor of any dental procedure where pressurized air has been used.
Expeditious diagnosis and management of subcutaneous emphysema are important to facilitate recovery.
Clinical signs of emphysema:
 f Crackling of mucosa upon pressure (subcutaneous crepitation), pain, swelling, tenderness and discomfort.
 f Often accompanied by facial or neck swelling.
In case of emphysema :
 f Immediately stop the procedure
 f Determine the extension and location
 f Observe the patient for 30min and if the emphysema is not extended outside the oral cavity, compress to reduce it (from the
apex).
 f Patient may need antibiotics and anti-inflammatory (according to patient health), in case the dental professional cannot
prescribe antibiotics, kindly refer the patient to a physician or a hospital for the recommended medicine.
 f If the emphysema extends outside the oral cavity, particularly if there is a compression or constriction of airways or patient
has difficulties to breath, call the emergency service

instruments vibrate in a controlled back-and-forth oscillation. During treatment, always hold the instrument parallel
to the tooth surface adapting the lateral side of the instrument.
DO NOT direct the instrument straight to the enamel surface. Never point the tip of the instrument to the tooth surface.
During PIEZON
®
treatment, only the last 2mm of the PIEZON instrument, should be in contact with soft tissues in the patient
mouth. The metallic part of the PIEZON
®
handpiece can heat up during a long period of treatment if recommendations are not
followed.
On metal, ceramic restorations, and on prosthetics, ONLY use the PIEZON
®
PI MAX instrument.
Listen for a noise change:
 f For PIEZON
®
Instruments: a suspicious noise during contactless activation may be a sign of possible damage to the system
or improper screwing of the instrument. In this case, check the correct screwing with the CombiTorque
®
, then the condition of
the instrument. If in doubt, contact the support service.
 f For the PIEZON
®
Handpiece: it could occur when the instrument is activated in order to detect a possible loosening of the
instrument in the handpiece.

EMS powders are much less abrasive than traditional mechanical debridement techniques
such as rubber cups and handscaling.
We recommend to use AIRFLOW
®
and PERIOFLOW
®
first, followed by PIEZON
®
. GBT: the mini-
mally invasive way for Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal (PMPR).
  As part of the GBT disclosing phase, coloration also minimizes AIRFLOW
®
abrasion. No more
color signifies that all biofilm has been removed: the objective of AIRFLOW
®
is achieved, to
preserve the integrity of dental tissues.
EMS devices have been designed and tested for exclusive use with EMS prophylaxis powders.
ONLY USE EMS POWDERS
So-called "EMS compatible" powders in the marketplace may cause
damage to oral tissues and the device.
See below a damaged AIRFLOW
®
nozzle after use with a
"compatible" powder. If EMS products are damaged by using
"compatible" powders the product Warranty will be lost.
ONLY USE THE SWISS ORIGINAL
EMS INSTRUMENTS!
The EMS Instrument, the Handpiece and the electronic module have to vibrate in
harmony like in a trilogy.
Using so-called “compatible” and copy tips from third parties can damage your
patients’ teeth as well as EMS handpieces.
They were developed and made for each other by EMS.
One PS Instrument is designed for up to 1000 treatments, thus reducing the cost
of one treatment to only a few cents.
Therefore, there is absolutely no reason to "save" money by using so-called
"compatible" tips. Moreover, if the Piezon Handpiece gets damaged (the thread)
it will lose its warranty so at the end of the day, “compatible” tips will always cost
you more.
