Guided Biofilm Therapy is a systematic, evidence-based approach to managing dental biofilm during professional cleanings. Utilizing advanced AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® technologies, this therapy effectively targets biofilm on teeth, soft tissues, and implants for optimal oral health.
The Minimally Invasive Way
No More Rubber Cups
No More Brushes
No More Paste
Less Use Of Power And Hand Instrumentation
What is GBT?
Guided Biofilm Therapy offers a systematic and predictable solution for managing dental biofilm during professional cleanings, utilizing state-of-the-art AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® technologies, all backed by scientific evidence.
This therapy is tailored to each patient, with treatment protocols based on individual diagnosis and risk assessment to achieve optimal results. It is performed in the least invasive manner, prioritizing comfort, safety, and efficiency.
Guided Biofilm Therapy also includes personalized oral hygiene instructions using Philips Sonicare toothbrushes and Airfloss, along with patient education and motivation to help maintain natural teeth and implants for as long as possible.
What Makes GBT a “Game Changer”?
Dental biofilm is a leading cause of caries, periodontal, and peri-implant infections. Untreated periodontitis can increase the risk of systemic diseases like cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, arthritis, and diabetes.
Maintaining regular oral hygiene, along with professional care, is essential for controlling biofilm and promoting both oral and overall health. The foundation of preventive dentistry was laid by Axelsson and Lindhe in the 1970s through their studies and clinical protocols focused on prophylaxis.
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) aligns with the European Federation of Periodontology’s (EFP) recommendations for Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal (PMPR) and Oral Hygiene Instructions (OHI) for home care.
“Healthy Gums — Healthier Life!”
Advantages of GBT
Safe And Effective – Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is minimally invasive, reducing the reliance on hand and ultrasonic instruments. It’s safe, effective, and gentle on teeth, soft tissues, and implants. GBT is also suitable for preventing primary caries and periodontal issues in children and teenagers.
Superior Cleaning – Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) starts with applying a disclosing agent to highlight biofilm, allowing clinicians to thoroughly remove it during professional tooth cleaning. This process ensures complete and effective biofilm removal.
Comfortable And Time Saving Treatment – A minimally invasive protocol that significantly reduces treatment time compared to standard methods like curettes and rubber cups.
Greater Recalls – GBT is integral to a comprehensive preventive approach aimed at preserving your patients’ oral health while enhancing their overall experience. This not only promotes patient well-being but also leads to higher retention rates and increased referrals.
