Preventive Dentistry focuses on protecting your teeth and gums before problems develop. One of the most advanced methods in modern preventive care is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)—a technology-driven approach that gently removes dental plaque (biofilm), stains, and tartar in a comfortable, safe, and effective way.

Unlike traditional cleaning methods, GBT uses innovative air-polishing and ultrasonic devices to ensure a pain-free and minimally invasive experience, making it suitable for children, adults, and even patients with dental sensitivity or implants.

What Is Biofilm and Why Must It Be Removed?

Biofilm is a sticky layer of bacteria that forms on the teeth and around the gums. When not properly removed, it leads to:

• Cavities

• Gingivitis (gum inflammation)

• Periodontitis (advanced gum disease)

• Bad breath

• Staining

• Implant complications such as peri-implantitis

GBT effectively targets and removes biofilm, protecting the teeth, gums, and implants from long-term damage.

What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?

GBT is an innovative, scientifically proven protocol developed by EMS. It combines advanced detection technologies with gentle cleaning tools for precise and comfortable hygiene treatment.

GBT Consists of 8 Steps:

1. Assessment & Diagnosis – Detailed examination of teeth, gums, restoration surfaces, and implants.

2. Disclosing Solution Application – A special dye highlights where biofilm is located.

3. Motivation & Instruction – Personalized oral hygiene guidance for better home care.

4. Airflow® Cleaning – Gentle removal of biofilm using warm water, fine powder, and controlled air pressure.

5. Perioflow® Deep Cleaning – Safe cleaning of periodontal pockets and implant surfaces.

6. Piezon® Ultrasound Scaling – Ultrasonic removal of hard deposits (tartar) without discomfort.

7. Final Check – Ensuring all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned.

8. Fluoride Protection – Strengthening tooth enamel and preventing future decay.
