Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a systematic approach to professional tooth cleaning that uses a combination of air abrasion and ultrasonic technologies to remove biofilm, the sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth and gums. GBT is based on the principle that biofilm is the primary cause of dental diseases such as caries and periodontal disease.
GBT Is Performed In Eight Steps:
Disclosure:The dentist or hygienist uses a disclosing solution to highlight biofilm on the patient’s teeth.
The dentist or hygienist uses an air abrasion device to remove biofilm from the supragingival (above the gumline) and subgingival (below the gumline) surfaces of the teeth.
The dentist or hygienist uses an ultrasonic device to remove biofilm from the periodontal pockets and other hard-to-reach areas.
The dentist or hygienist uses an ultrasonic device to remove calculus (tartar) and biofilm from the teeth.
The dentist or hygienist uses a polishing paste to remove any remaining stains and biofilm from the teeth.
The dentist or hygienist provides the patient with personalized instructions on how to maintain good oral hygiene at home.
The dentist or hygienist assesses the patient’s risk of developing dental diseases and recommends a treatment schedule accordingly.
The patient is scheduled for regular GBT appointments to maintain good oral health.
GBT is a minimally invasive and comfortable procedure for patients. It is also very effective at removing biofilm, which can help to prevent and treat dental diseases. Benefits of Guided Biofilm Therapy
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)
GBT uses a combination of air abrasion and ultrasonic technologies to remove biofilm from all surfaces of the teeth, including hard-to-reach areas. This is more effective than traditional methods of professional tooth cleaning, which often miss biofilm in hidden areas.
GBT is a minimally invasive procedure that is gentle on teeth and gums. This is important for patients with sensitive teeth and gums, as well as for patients with periodontal disease.
GBT is a comfortable procedure for patients. The air abrasion device is used with a water spray to keep the teeth and gums cool. The ultrasonic devices are also quiet and gentle.
GBT is a systematic approach to professional tooth cleaning that provides predictable results. This is because the procedure is based on the principle that biofilm is the primary cause of dental diseases. GBT for different patients
GBT Is Suitable For Patients of All Ages And With All Levels Of Periodontal Health. It Is Particularly Beneficial For Patients With:
GBT can help to prevent and treat caries by removing biofilm from the teeth.
GBT can help to treat periodontal disease by removing biofilm from the periodontal pockets.
GBT is a gentle procedure that is suitable for patients with sensitive teeth and gums.
GBT can be used to clean orthodontic appliances and remove biofilm buildup.
GBT can be used to maintain the health of the gums around dental implants.
