Regular oral hygiene, combined with professional measures keeps biofilm under control – for a better oral and systemic health. Axelsson and Lindhe established preventive dentistry in the 1970’s with studies and clinical protocols based on prophylaxis in “recall hours”.
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is based on the clinically proven technologies invented by the Swiss company, Electro Medical Systems (EMS), leader in dental prophylaxis and prevention. It was developed in cooperation with highly respected and experienced periodontologists, cariologists and dental hygienists.
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) follows the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) recommendations on Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal (PMPR) and Oral Hygiene Instructions (OHI) for Home Care of the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP).
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is the systematic, predictable solution for dental biofilm management in professional prophylaxis using state of the art AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW® and PIEZON® technologies. It is proven by scientific evidence.
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) consists of treatment protocols based on individual patient diagnosis and risk assessment in order to achieve optimal results. The treatment is given in the least invasive way, with the highest level of comfort, safety and efficiency.
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) includes Oral Hygiene Instructions with Philips Sonicare toothbrushes and Airfloss plus patient education and motivation to maintain natural teeth and implants for as long as possible. all age groups and each PIEZON® PS No Pain piezoceramic instruments. Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) means that the clinician is guided by the disclosed biofilm during professional tooth cleaning procedures.
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is truly minimally invasive and reduces the need of hand and sonic/ ultra-sonic instrumentation. It is safe, effective and gentle to teeth and soft tissues, implants and restoratives.
GBT is also very comfortable for patients and practitioners. It is efficient and time saving. This also applies to primary caries and perio prevention in children and teenagers.
GBT is part of a comprehensive preventive concept – to preserve your patients’ oral health – and to make the patients feel good. EMS has provided dental practices worldwide with AIRFLOW® air polishing and PIEZON® PS No Pain piezo-ceramic scaling technology since 1982.
In 2003, EMS invented PERIOFLOW® for subgingival biofilm removal – in combination with the AIRFLOW® powder PERIO on a glycine basis. This was an important shift in the paradigm for perio and preventive dentistry.
In 2012, EMS added the high-tech erythritol-based AIRFLOW® powder PLUS with a particle size of only 14 μm.

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a systematic, predictable, risk-oriented and user-friendly treatment which can be adapted to all age groups and each individual patient.
GBT BENEFITS
SAFE AND EFFECTIVE: GBT is truly minimally invasive and reduces the need for hand and sonic/ultrasonic instrumentation. It is safe, effective and gentle to teeth, soft tissues and implants. It can also be applied to primary caries and perio prevention in children and teenagers.
SUPERIOR CLEANING: GBT begins with the use of a disclosing agent to guide clinicians to remove all biofilm during professional tooth cleaning procedures. This ensures complete biofilm removal.
COMFORTABLE AND TIME SAVING TREATMENT: A minimal invasive protocol that enables you to significantly reduce treatment-time in comparison to the standard PMPR (curettes & rubber cups).
GREATER RECALLS: GBT is part of a comprehensive preventive concept – to preserve your patients’ oral health – and to make the patients feel good. This leads to higher patient retention and more referrals.
