What Is GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy)?
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a professional oral care treatment based on internationally recognized protocols, developed to remove biofilm that forms on tooth surfaces and around the gums in a controlled manner.
Unlike traditional dental cleaning, GBT first uses a special disclosing solution to make invisible biofilm visible. This allows only the areas requiring cleaning to be targeted, with the aim of providing a more controlled and protective cleaning experience.
The GBT protocol uses AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® technologies to gently remove biofilm, surface stains, and dental calculus with the help of heated water, special cleaning powders, and ultrasonic technology.
Following the treatment, the aim is for the teeth to feel cleaner, gum health to be supported, bad breath to be reduced, and surface stains to be removed.
Before every GBT treatment, an oral examination is performed to assess gum health, plaque accumulation, and the overall condition of the mouth. A professional care plan is then created according to the patient's needs.
Who Is It Suitable For?
GBT may be a suitable option for many patients who want professional oral care to be provided more comfortably. Suitability is determined following a clinical assessment by the dentist.
Those Seeking a More Comfortable Dental Cleaning
- It aims to provide a more comfortable experience for people with sensitive teeth or those who experience discomfort during dental cleaning.
Patients with Gum Problems
- Regular professional biofilm removal may help maintain gum health and may be considered one of the supportive treatments used to help control gum disease.
Patients Who Have Had Implant Treatment
- Biofilm that accumulates around implants may negatively affect the tissues surrounding them. GBT enables professional cleaning to be performed without damaging implant surfaces.
Patients with Laminates, Crowns, Bridges, or Orthodontic Treatment
- It helps remove plaque accumulation around crowns, orthodontic wires, clear aligners, and fixed prostheses.
Smokers and Those Who Consume Coffee, Tea, and Red Wine
- By helping remove surface stains caused by everyday habits, it may contribute to a cleaner appearance of the teeth.
Those Who Follow a Preventive Dentistry Approach
- Regular professional oral care may support the maintenance of oral hygiene and help reduce the risk of cavities and gum problems.
Why Choose GBT Instead of Traditional Dental Cleaning?
Professional dental cleaning is not limited to removing dental calculus. A comprehensive approach to maintaining oral health is also important.
Key features of GBT:
- Aims to remove biofilm in a controlled manner.
- Aims to provide a more comfortable cleaning experience.
- Takes a minimally invasive approach focused on protecting tooth enamel.
- Enables safe cleaning around implants and restorations.
- Helps remove external surface stains caused by coffee, tea, smoking, and similar factors.
- Supports the maintenance of oral hygiene and gum health.
- Performed in line with internationally recognized clinical protocols.
- May also be a suitable option for individuals with sensitive teeth.
Bacterial biofilm is one of the factors that plays an important role in problems that can affect cavities, gum inflammation, and the tissues surrounding implants. For this reason, regular professional biofilm control is considered one of the important practices of preventive dentistry.
