What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a world-class, evidence-based dental cleaning protocol developed by EMS Dental that uses the revolutionary AIRFLOW® technology to gently and effectively remove biofilm (dental plaque), staining and early calculus from teeth, gums, implants and orthodontic appliances.
Unlike traditional scaling and polishing, GBT is virtually painless and uses a warm water and compressed air powder spray to remove deposits without abrasive pastes or uncomfortable scraping.
What is Dental Biofilm?
Dental biofilm — more commonly known as dental plaque — is a complex community of bacteria that constantly forms on the surfaces of your teeth and gums. If not removed regularly, it leads to tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath. Biofilm is the single most important factor in the development and progression of oral disease.
The 8-Step GBT Protocol
Assess
A full assessment of the mouth, gum health and risk factors.
Disclose

Motivate
Your hygienist educates you on the biofilm revealed, empowering you to improve your home care routine.
AIRFLOW®
Warm water, compressed air and erythritol powder gently remove biofilm, early calculus and staining from all tooth surfaces.
