GBT Cleaning

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an innovative and gentle dental cleaning method that focuses on removing biofilm—the sticky layer of bacteria responsible for tooth decay and gum disease—with precision and care. This minimally invasive treatment improves oral health while ensuring patient comfort.

What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy?

GBT uses advanced technologies such as plaque-disclosing agents and air polishing devices to visualize and remove biofilm effectively. The procedure targets harmful bacteria while preserving healthy tooth enamel and gum tissue.

Benefits of GBT Cleaning

• Gentle and Comfortable: Minimizes discomfort often associated with traditional scaling.
• Effective Biofilm Removal: Precisely targets bacterial deposits for thorough cleaning.
• Preserves Tooth Enamel: Less abrasive than conventional cleaning methods.
• Improves Gum Health: Reduces inflammation and risk of periodontal disease.
• Personalized Treatment: Tailored cleaning based on individual biofilm mapping.

Procedure

1. Assessment: The dentist or hygienist uses a disclosing agent to highlight biofilm on teeth.
2. Cleaning: Air polishing with a gentle powder removes biofilm and stains.
3. Scaling: If necessary, any remaining tartar is carefully removed with ultrasonic or manual instruments.
4. Polishing and Fluoride: The teeth are polished and fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen enamel.

Who Should Consider GBT?

GBT is suitable for all patients seeking a comfortable, effective cleaning—especially those with sensitive teeth, gum inflammation, or a history of periodontal disease.

Aftercare

Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Schedule routine dental cleanings and follow your dentist’s recommendations to keep biofilm under control and promote lasting oral health.
