Guided Biofilm Therapy
State-of-the-art technology:
more effective and comfortable dental cleaning
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a modern, minimally invasive and highly effective approach to removing plaque (biofilm), tartar and stains from teeth. It uses cutting-edge technology to ensure a more precise, comfortable and safe professional cleaning, for both dental and gum health.
At LP CLINIC, we apply the GBT protocol in oral hygiene consultations, as part of our mission to offer advanced and personalized preventive care.
Biofilm
The Main Cause of Oral Problems
Biofilm is a thin film of bacteria that continually forms on teeth, gums, tongue and even implants. When not removed effectively, it can lead to:
Dental cavities
Gingivitis and periodontitis
Bad breath
Complications in dental implants
Increased risk of systemic diseases (such as diabetes or cardiovascular problems)
GBT vs. Traditional Cleaning:
The Main Differences
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) consists of 8 clearly defined clinical steps, carried out using EMS AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW® and PIEZON® equipment, featuring cutting-edge technology such as:
-
Erythritol powder, an ultra-fine and gentle powder, ideal for cleaning natural teeth, gums, implants, and orthodontic appliances;
-
Biofilm disclosure dye, which allows the professional to accurately identify areas that need treatment;
-
AIRFLOW® technology, which removes biofilm, stains, and tartar using a controlled jet of air, water, and low-abrasive powder;
-
PIEZON® PS, a high-precision and comfortable ultrasonic system for removing deeper tartar, without damaging enamel or soft tissues.
Advantages of GBT over traditional dental cleaning
-
More comfortable and minimally invasive – no aggressive manual instruments;
-
Pain-free and with less sensitivity;
-
More effective in removing both visible and invisible biofilm;
-
Ideal for patients with implants, orthodontics, or dental sensitivity;
-
Reduces the risk of periodontal disease and tooth decay;
-
Fast, safe, and technologically advanced procedure;
-
Immediate aesthetic improvement, with removal of surface stains (coffee, tea, tobacco, etc.).
The modern solution for your
Oral Hygiene
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an innovative and adaptable treatment protocol, consisting of a sequence of steps carefully planned according to the individual needs of each patient.
Unlike traditional dental hygiene methods — often associated with discomfort, sensitivity, vibration, noise and unpleasant tastes — GBT uses a modern, precise and minimally invasive approach that provides a more comfortable, effective and painless experience.
This state-of-the-art system allows us to offer a high standard of preventive care, with maximum safety and without compromising the integrity of dental or gum tissue.
Additionally, clinical studies demonstrate that the GBT protocol is completely safe for natural teeth, implants, crowns and soft tissue, making it the ideal choice for those who value long-lasting oral health with minimal discomfort.
