GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy)

The Gentler Way to Cleaner Teeth

GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy)

At Duggal Dental Clinic we strive to provide the highest quality state-of-the-art techniques and technology. We recently introduced the AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master to help you get the best outcomes in the treatment and management of gum (periodontal) disease.

GBT is a gentle, non-invasive procedure that is virtually pain-free. Most patients find it more comfortable than traditional dental cleanings because it eliminates the need for scraping with metal instruments.

🦷 What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a contemporary, evidence-based dental cleaning protocol designed for effective and comfortable biofilm removal. It integrates three advanced technologies:

AIRFLOW®: Uses warm water, air, and fine erythritol powder to gently remove surface biofilm and stains.

PERIOFLOW®: Targets subgingival biofilm—especially in periodontal pockets—without causing trauma.

PIEZON® NO‑PAIN®: Ultrasonic scaling to remove hard calculus softly and precisely.

The workflow begins with a staining agent to visualize biofilm, allowing targeted removal. Followed by air–polishing, ultrasonic scaling where needed, polishing, fluoride application, and tailored hygiene guidance (including risk assessment and recall planning)

.

Multiple studies and reviews conclude that GBT achieves clinical outcomes similar to traditional scaling and root planing, with shorter treatment time, especially in non‑surgical periodontal therapy

Pros:

Comfortable and minimally invasive

Excellent for implants, sensitive teeth, staining, and braces

Enables visual biofilm feedback for patients

Considerations:

Still requires some ultrasonic or hand scaling for heavy calculus

Can be messy—air polishing may spray water unless managed well

Equipment is proprietary, often tying clinics to EMS systems researchgate.net Some patients accustomed to traditional polishing may feel less refreshed initially reddit.com .
