What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?
Guided Biofilm Therapy is an advanced dental hygiene protocol developed in Switzerland. Unlike traditional cleanings that react to problems, GBT is built around prevention-focused care — identifying and removing harmful biofilm before it leads to bigger issues.
Using disclosing agents to reveal biofilm first, then removing it with AirFlow® technology and precision instrumentation, GBT shifts the focus from treatment to prevention — keeping your mouth healthier, longer.
"Biofilm is barely visible — until we disclose it."
"We can be sure only when biofilm has been completely removed."

- Clinical Evidence
Proven Results, Backed by Research
Traditional polishing and hand scaling methods often miss biofilm in hard-to-reach areas. Guided Biofilm Therapy was designed to solve this problem with a standardized clinical protocol.
Conventional methods may remove only about 50% of biofilm in difficult-to-reach areas.
GBT is designed to remove up to 100% of biofilm using disclosing guidance and advanced AirFlow® technology.
It is scientifically proven that the regular and complete removal of biofilm results in healthier teeth and gums. GBT is built around consistency, comfort, and repeatable clinical outcomes.
- Why Biofilm Matters
- Biofilm is the leading cause of gum disease and tooth decay
- Biofilm can calcify into tartar (calculus)
- Biofilm contributes to bleeding gums and inflammation
- Keeping biofilm under control supports long-term oral health
"Much more pleasant than expected. The Airstream is the main part of the treatment, I felt no pain at all. A great moment."

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Guided Biofilm Therapy painful?
No. GBT is designed for maximum comfort. The AirFlow® system uses warm water and fine powder, and the Piezon® PS instrument features NO PAIN technology. Most patients find it significantly more comfortable than traditional scaling.
What is biofilm?
Biofilm is a soft, sticky layer of bacteria that naturally forms on teeth and gums. It is the main cause of cavities, gum disease, and inflammation. Guided Biofilm Therapy targets and removes biofilm gently and effectively before it hardens into tartar.
Does this remove stains?
Yes. Guided Biofilm Therapy effectively removes surface stains caused by coffee, tea, smoking, and other foods. The AirFlow® technology lifts stains gently while cleaning deep without damaging enamel.
Is GBT safe for implants?
Yes. GBT is safe for dental implants. It uses non-abrasive technology to remove biofilm while preserving implant surfaces and surrounding tissues.
Is it safe for braces or Invisalign?
Yes. GBT is safe and highly effective around braces, aligners, retainers, and other orthodontic appliances. It can clean hard-to-reach areas without causing damage.
How often should I do Guided Biofilm Therapy cleanings?
Most patients benefit from professional cleanings every 6 months. However, the ideal frequency depends on your oral health, gum condition, and individual risk factors. Your dentist or hygienist will recommend the best schedule for you.
