Dental plaque, which is the main culprit behind periodontal disease and tooth decay is actually a biofilm— a collection of microorganisms that grow together within an extracellular matrix. While oral biofilm formation remains inevitable, a proper oral hygiene routine and Guided Biofilm Therapy can significantly reduce this risk for gingivitis, periodontitis, peri-implant mucositis, and peri-implantitis and aid in caries detection.
A systematic, predictable, & scientifically proven protocol to prevent dental disease & support optimal oral healthFrom assessment and initial therapy to maintenance recall visits, the eight steps that comprise Guided Biofilm Therapy represent a predictable solution for oral biofilm management in professional prophylaxis.
GBT recognizes that patient education and motivation are essential to establishing a strong foundation for good oral health.Disclosing and highlighting the oral biofilm not only facilitates more efficient and thorough biofilm removal but also offers an excellent opportunity to educate and motivate patients on proper oral hygiene and maintaining a healthy smile.
More effective and comfortable than conventional biofilm removalGBT represents the most advanced concept in dental prophylaxis. Removing the disclosed oral biofilm is accomplished with three specialized instruments that gently and thoroughly address supra and subgingival accumulations. It offers maximum comfort while being minimally abrasive to dental enamel, root cementum, exposed dentine, and gums.
A wide range of applications & a preventive approach for every smileAs part of a professional dental hygiene and prophylaxis program, GBT supports optimal oral health and the prevention of dental disease. It’s also especially helpful to individuals with dental implants and those wearing orthodontic appliances.
