GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY

See the biofilm.Clean with purpose.

Guided Biofilm Therapy is a structured cleaning protocol that makes plaque visible before it is removed — helping your dental team clean more precisely and gently.

Akeela Dental Care is GBT Certified.

Our team meets the standards set for Guided Biofilm Therapy, from equipment to hands-on training, so every cleaning follows the certified protocol.

WHY IT MATTERS

What you cannot see can still affect your gums.

Dental biofilm — commonly called plaque — forms continuously on teeth and around the gumline. When it remains undisturbed, it can contribute to gum inflammation and periodontal problems.

GBT changes the sequence of cleaning: biofilm is first disclosed so the areas that need attention become visible, followed by targeted removal and a final check.

Biofilm left undisturbed can contribute to

01Red, swollen or bleeding gums associated with gingival inflammation.
02Periodontal disease and loss of supporting bone around affected teeth.
03Additional plaque-management challenges around implants, braces and restorations.
THE GBT APPROACH

Don't just remove plaque.Know where it is.

The defining idea behind Guided Biofilm Therapy is simple: disclose the biofilm first, then use the appropriate cleaning method for each area. The result is a more visual, structured approach to professional dental hygiene.

THE PROTOCOL

Eight steps.One guided workflow.

From assessment to recall, every stage has a purpose.

STEP 01

Assess

Teeth, gums, implants and existing restorations are assessed before cleaning begins.

01
STEP 02

Disclose

A disclosing solution highlights biofilm so previously hidden areas become easier to identify.

02
STEP 03

Motivate

The disclosed areas can show where daily brushing and interdental cleaning may need more attention.

03
STEP 04

AIRFLOW®

Air, warm water and fine powder are used to target biofilm and suitable surface stains.

04
STEP 05

PERIOFLOW®

Where clinically indicated, a dedicated nozzle can be used around periodontal pockets and implant areas.

05
STEP 06

PIEZON®

Ultrasonic instrumentation helps remove remaining hard deposits such as calculus.

06
STEP 07

Check

The mouth is inspected again to check whether visible biofilm and deposits have been adequately addressed.

07
STEP 08

Recall

A future maintenance interval is planned according to your oral-health needs and individual risk.

08
THE TECHNOLOGY

Four tools.Different jobs.

GBT combines different technologies rather than relying on one instrument for every stage.

01 / GBT MACHINE®

The full system

The fifth-generation EMS tabletop unit that runs the entire GBT protocol from one console.

02 / AIRFLOW® PROPHYLAXIS MASTER

Biofilm removal

Air, water and fine powder are used to target biofilm and selected stains on suitable surfaces.

03 / AIRFLOW® ONE

Compact chairside unit

A streamlined AIRFLOW® unit for clinics already equipped with a PIEZON® NO PAIN module.

04 / AIRFLOW® HANDY 3.0

Cordless handheld

A portable AIRFLOW® device for quick biofilm removal without a tabletop unit.

A DIFFERENT WORKFLOW

From cleaning by feel to cleaning with guidance.

GBT changes how professional cleaning is approached.

FeatureConventional approachGuided Biofilm Therapy
Biofilm visibilityBiofilm is naturally difficult to see.Disclosing helps make biofilm visible.
Cleaning sequenceCleaning and polishing are performed according to the clinical situation.Biofilm is addressed first, followed by calculus removal where needed.
Patient educationHome-care advice is provided during or after the visit.Disclosed areas can visually demonstrate where home care needs improvement.
Dental workTechnique and instruments are selected according to the restoration.The workflow can be adapted for implants, restorations and orthodontic appliances.
WHY GBT

More than a cleaning.A guided process.

More guided

The disclosing stage helps the clinical team identify where biofilm remains instead of relying only on visual estimation.

Designed for comfort

The workflow uses different technologies for different deposits, with comfort considered throughout the cleaning process.

Useful for maintenance

Regular professional maintenance can be especially important around implants, restorations and orthodontic appliances.
