What is GBT?
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a state-of-the-art dental treatment designed for ultimate comfort and effective biofilm removal. Using warm water and gentle air polishing techniques, GBT ensures a soothing experience while thoroughly cleaning teeth and gums. Airflow cleaning with warm water and fine powder, followed by warm ultrasonic scaling, removes surface stains and tartar with minimal discomfort. GBT not only ensures superior oral health but also enhances patient motivation and compliance, offering a comprehensive, minimally invasive, and highly comfortable dental care experience.
Guided Biofilm Therapy represents a modern approach to dental hygiene and periodontal care, emphasizing prevention, patient education, and the use of advanced technology to achieve optimal oral health outcomes.
Why is gbt a "Game changer"?
Dental biofilm is the primary cause of caries, periodontal, and peri-implant infections. Periodontitis can increase the risk of systemic diseases such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, arthritis, and diabetes.
Combining regular oral hygiene with professional care helps control biofilm, promoting better oral and systemic health. In the 1970s, Axelsson and Lindhe pioneered preventive dentistry with studies and clinical protocols focused on prophylaxis during "recall hours."
GBT aligns with the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) recommendations for Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal (PMPR) and Oral Hygiene Instructions (OHI) for home care.

GBT Benefits
SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
GBT is remarkably non-invasive, minimizing the necessity for manual and sonic/ultrasonic instruments. It's a safe, effective, and gentle approach that benefits teeth, soft tissues, and implants alike. Additionally, it's suitable for primary caries and periodontal prevention in children and teenagers.
SUPERIOR CLEANING
GBT starts by applying a disclosing agent, guiding clinicians to thoroughly remove all biofilm during professional tooth cleaning procedures, ensuring comprehensive biofilm removal.
COMFORTABLE AND TIME SAVING TREATMENT
A minimally invasive protocol that allows for a significant reduction in treatment time compared to standard Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal (PMPR) using curettes and rubber cups.
GREATER RECALLS
GBT is an integral component of a comprehensive preventive approach aimed at preserving your patients' oral health and enhancing their well-being, resulting in increased patient retention and referrals.
