Guided Biofilm Therapy at Laser Dentistry

At Laser Dentistry, we are proud to offer Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)—the latest Swiss protocol for teeth cleaning that provides a more thorough, comfortable, and effective way to maintain oral health. Unlike traditional cleaning methods, which clinical studies indicate remove only 50% of dental plaque, GBT ensures superior biofilm removal, reducing the need for ultrasonic or manual scaling.
Laser Dentistry is the first in the area to offer this groundbreaking dental treatment. This revolutionary treatment is more effective and accommodating to those who dread a visit to the dentist.

What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy?

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an advanced method for removing plaque (dental biofilm) from your teeth using a state-of-the-art dye to make plaque visible before gently eliminating it with AIRFLOW® technology. This innovative approach enhances cleaning effectiveness while providing a more comfortable experience.

What is Dental Biofilm?

Dental biofilm, commonly known as dental plaque, is a nearly colorless, sticky film of bacteria that builds up on teeth daily. It cannot be removed by rinsing with water—only through brushing, flossing, or professional cleaning.
If plaque isn’t removed while it’s still soft, it hardens into calculus (tartar), which can contribute to cavities and gum disease.

Traditional Method vs. GBT

Traditional Cleaning

Involves ultrasonic (vibrating) or manual (scraping) instruments to remove plaque and tartar. Polishing requires a gritty abrasive paste.

GBT Cleaning

Uses AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® technologies to remove biofilm with minimal discomfort and invasiveness.

The 8 Steps of the GBT Protocol

Assessment & Infection Control

Rinse with BacterX® Pro mouthwash and assess teeth and gums.

Reveal

Apply dye to highlight plaque for complete removal.

Educate

Teach patients about oral hygiene habits.

AIRFLOW® MAX

Remove biofilm, stains, and early calculus with warm water and fine powder.

PERIOFLOW®

Gently clean deep pockets and around implants.

PIEZON® PS

Remove any remaining calculus with precision.

Confirm

Double-check complete biofilm and calculus removal and apply fluoride.

Follow-Up
