Professional dental cleaning is a necessity, not a luxury. No matter how thorough your oral hygiene routine is, dental plaque still accumulates and in most cases, it’s nearly impossible to remove completely through brushing alone. Let’s not forget that tartar is the main cause of cavities and periodontal disease. That’s why professional dental cleaning is recommended every six months.
Tartar removal can only be done through professional dental cleaning at the dentist’s office. Today, we’d like to introduce you to Guided Biofilm Therapy, a next-generation professional cleaning treatment. It’s highly effective, comfortable, and available at our clinic starting this October.
This guided biofilm therapy was developed by specialists in periodontology and restorative dentistry. It’s based on modern, innovative technologies created at the EMS Research Center. At the heart of this treatment is the AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master—our Swiss-precision ally for the efficient and minimally invasive removal of bacterial plaque and tartar.
GBT Dental Cleaning (Guided Biofilm Therapy) – How It Differs from Traditional Professional Cleanings?
GBT – Guided Biofilm Therapy is a different approach from traditional dental cleanings because it is performed in eight steps during a single session. Here are the steps:
- Assessment – The dentist evaluates the teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues,
- Biofilm Disclosure – A colored solution is applied to highlight the biofilm and problem areas,
- Education and Motivation – The dentist offers oral hygiene tips and shows you exactly where to focus your daily brushing,
- Airflow – Supragingival and subgingival tartar is removed,
- Perioflow – Bacterial plaque is removed from inside periodontal pockets,
- Piezon – Remaining subgingival tartar is removed (up to 10 mm), including around implants or prosthetic work,
- Final Check – The dentist performs a final inspection to ensure all tartar has been successfully removed,
- Recall – Based on the initial evaluation and cleaning results, the dentist schedules your next follow-up visit.

Professional dental cleaning – why choose Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Many patients describe the traditional scaling procedure as painful. One of the biggest advantages of Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is comfort tartar removed gently and comfortably, without pain or discomfort. The classic scaling instruments are replaced by the Airflow Prophylaxis Master, which efficiently and quickly removes not only supragingival tartar but also subgingival biofilm and deposits from inside periodontal pockets.
Because it’s a minimally invasive and comfortable procedure, GBT is recommended for adults, children, and teenagers alike. It’s gentle on teeth and gums, as well as on prosthetic work and dental implants. If you have various aesthetic restorations (whether prosthetics or implants), GBT helps prevent gum recession by effectively removing tartar around those restorations.
GBT also supports the maintenance of traditional orthodontic appliances by eliminating biofilm from areas that are hard to reach with daily brushing. It can be used safely and effectively on brackets, helping to prevent cavities. In fact, regular professional cleanings help maintain healthy teeth and detect cavities at an early stage. The final check performed by the dentist after biofilm removal can reveal hidden decay.
There are many more reasons to choose Guided Biofilm Therapy. We encourage you to talk to your dentist about this innovative and comfortable method of plaque removal during your next visit to Smile Vision!
