Why Is GBT A "Game Changer"?
Dental biofilm serves as the primary cause of caries, periodontal, and peri-implant infections. Periodontitis exacerbates the risk of systemic ailments like cardiovascular diseases, respiratory conditions, arthritis, and diabetes.
Effective oral hygiene routines, coupled with professional interventions, are vital for managing biofilm, fostering both oral and systemic well-being. Pioneered by Axelsson and Lindhe in the 1970s, preventive dentistry emphasizes prophylaxis during recall appointments.
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) adheres to the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) guidelines for Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal (PMPR) and Oral Hygiene Instructions (OHI) for Home Care, promoting optimal periodontal health and overall quality of life.
GBT Benefits
Safe And Effective
GBT represents a genuinely minimally invasive approach, minimizing reliance on hand and sonic/ultrasonic instruments. Its safety, efficacy, and gentleness extend to teeth, soft tissues, and implants alike. Additionally, GBT's versatility extends to addressing primary caries and periodontal prevention in pediatric and adolescent populations.
Superior Cleaning
GBT commences with the application of a disclosing agent, aiding clinicians in identifying and removing all biofilm during professional tooth cleaning procedures. This meticulous approach guarantees thorough biofilm elimination.
Comfortable And Time Saving Treatment
Our minimally invasive protocol allows for significantly reduced treatment times compared to standard PMPR methods involving curettes and rubber cups.
Greater Recalls
GBT is integral to a comprehensive preventive strategy aimed at preserving patients' oral health and enhancing their well-being. This approach fosters higher patient retention rates and generates more referrals.
