Correct GBT professional oral hygiene is the first step in maintaining a healthy mouth and preventing dental and gum diseases.

Periodic cleaning carried out by the dentist or dental hygienist allows you to remove bacterial plaque and tartar (calcified plaque), elements that toothbrushing and dental floss alone cannot completely eliminate.

Because GBD professional hygiene is essential

Professional oral hygiene is the basis of any dental treatment plan and helps prevent:

• Gingivitis – superficial inflammation of the gums.
• Periodontitis – inflammation of the supporting tissues of the tooth.
• Bad breath – bad odor and taste in the mouth.
• Caries – lesions of the enamel and dentin.

Techniques used

For thorough and delicate cleaning, we use:

• Ultrasound – to remove tartar and plaque without damaging the enamel.
• Air-polishing (Air Flow EMS®) – jet of water, air and powders to eliminate stains and bacterial biofilm.
• Manual instrumentation – less used today, but still useful in selected cases.

GBT technique (Guided Biofilm Therapy EMS®)

Guided Biofilm Therapy is an innovative, non-invasive and painless protocol, which uses low-grained powders to remove bacterial biofilm while fully respecting oral tissues.
The main advantages are:

• Greater comfort for the patient.
• Better aesthetic and functional results.
• Reduced risk of gum lesions.
• Deeper and longer lasting cleaning.
