The GALVOSURGE cleaning system
Welcome to our dedicated information page about the GALVOSURGE cleaning system for dental implants. We use this medical device to clean implant surfaces affected by peri-implantitis. Whether this procedure is suitable for your particular findings is something we clarify during the examination. Read on to find out how the procedure works and who it may be suitable for.
Why is cleaning dental implants so important?
Dental implants are an aesthetically pleasing solution for replacing missing teeth. However, proper care of these implants is essential for their longevity and function.
How does the GALVOSURGE cleaning system work?
The GALVOSURGE system differs from mechanical cleaning techniques. It dissolves biofilm from the implant surface electrochemically – biofilm is regarded as a major cause of implant inflammation. It consists of:
- GS 1000 control unit: This device controls the entire cleaning process for even, consistent cleaning.
- Special cleaning fluid: Developed to remove biofilm electrochemically, without mechanically abrading the implant surface.
- Tubing set with spray head: This accessory allows precise application of the cleaning fluid.
Benefits for the Patient
- Mode of action: Removes biofilm electrochemically – including from the threads, which are hard to reach mechanically.
- Speed: The whole process only takes a few minutes.
- Surface: The procedure works without mechanically abrading the implant surface.
Why we use this procedure
We examine new procedures carefully before we use them. Introducing the GALVOSURGE cleaning system into our practice underlines our commitment to offering you carefully planned care. If you decide in favour of the GALVOSURGE system, you are choosing a modern method of implant care.
