GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY A GAME CHANGER FOR BETTER ORAL PROPHYLAXIS

SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY PROTOCOL A NEW CONCEPT TO PRIMARY AND SECONDARY PREVENTION Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is based on treatment steps that are individually proven by multiple Randomized Control Trials (RCTs). The main differences in the GBT protocol compared to conventional professional tooth cleaning are: 1. Disclosing: Biofilm becomes visible. Disclosing biofilm for targeted removal and patient motivation leads to significantly better results than professional tooth cleaning without disclosing2,3,4. 2. AIRFLOW®: Biofilm is the main cause of oral disease and calculus...

GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY - GBT - IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED, INDICATION-ORIENTED, SYSTEMATIC AND MODULAR PROTOCOL FOR PREVENTION, PROPHYLAXIS AND THERAPY.    ONLY THE VERY BEST FOR MY PATIENTS    ONLY THE SWISS OR

WHY GBT? 1 A GAME CHANGER FOR BETTER ORAL PROPHYLAXIS 2 GOOD ORAL HEALTH = HEALTHY PATIENT 3 BEST CLINICAL PROTOCOL = BEST CLINICAL RESULTS. GBT REDUCES THE RISK OF CARIES, GINGIVITIS AND PERIODONTAL DISEASE. “We can be sure only when biofilm has been completely removed.” Nicole Einemann and Manuela Cordes, Dental Hygienists, Dr. Arendt Dental, Bremerhaven, Germany 4 PATIENTS WANT GBT. NOTHING ELSE. NO MORE FEAR OF PAIN. HIGH PATIENT COMFORT. ONCE EXPERIENCED, PATIENTS LOVE GBT, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN. 5 SATISFIED CLINICIANS, RELAXED PATIENTS. EFFICIENT, SYSTEMATIC WORKFLOW WITH ERGONOMIC INSTRUMENTS....

01 ASSESSMENT AND INFECTION CONTROL Protect your patients and your practice team from infections. Start GBT by rinsing 40 seconds with BACTERX® Pro. Diagnosis and documentation of the individual supra- and subgingival status for each patient. Make the oral biofilm visible by disclosing and explain the WHY to the patient. Scientific evidence confirms that oral biofilm causes 95 % of all dental problems: caries, gingivitis and periodontitis. Emphasize the importance of oral home care and professional prevention. Instruct your patients in oral hygiene. Eliminate the disclosed biofilm supra- and...

BYE-BYE BIOFILM GINGIVITIS One of the main causes of gingivitis is the presence of biofilm. In this case, the gingivitis is clearly visible in the interdental areas. The EMS Biofilm Discloser reveals the presence of biofilm indicating incorrect oral hygiene. GBT was performed using the AIRFLOW® PLUS Powder. GBT motivated the patient on the correct use of interdental aids and tooth brushing. GBT prevents and treats gingivitis. In this case, the patient had periodontitis with generalized bleeding, recession and exposed root surfaces. GBT was performed using the AIRFLOW® MAX, PERIOFLOW® and PIEZON®...

GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY PEDODONTICS In this case, using EMS Biofilm Discloser visibly reveals cariogenic biofilm and helps motivate the young patient. Children love AIRFLOW® MAX, it is “cool” and they have no fear of the treatment. The pain-free1 GBT method motivates children and helps prevent caries. Children, teenagers and adults often face the challenge to keep their orthodontic appliances clean. Clinicians are unable to remove all biofilm and calculus with traditional technologies. GBT overcomes these difficulties by not only motivating and re-instructing patients on oral hygiene, but also...

GBT PREVENTS DEMINERALIZATION, WHITE SPOTS, CARIES, GINGIVITIS, CALCULUS FORMATION AND BAD BREATH FOR ORTHODONTIC PATIENTS Patients who wear orthodontic appliances are more likely to be subject to biofilm-related oral pathologies, such as caries or periodontal disease, as some areas in the mouth are more difficult to reach when brushing at home. Professional oral hygiene on a regular basis is therefore highly recommended to avoid complications. Not only does regular professional oral hygiene reduce the buildup of debris on and around brackets and attachments, but it also helps minimize wire friction....

THE LAWS OF GBT § 1 MAKE BIOFILM VISIBLE! The goal of GBT is to remove all oral biofilm - even in hard-to-reach areas. With conventional professional teeth cleaning, only 50% of oral biofilm is removed in hard-to-reach areas.* When biofilm is made visible, it can be removed much faster and more precisely. Disclosed biofilm on teeth and soft tissues motivates the patient to improve home prevention (home care) in the context of Oral Hygiene Instructions (OHI). REMOVAL OF COLOR = REMOVAL OF BIOFILM § 2 USE AIRFLOW® FIRST! Use AIRFLOW® first to remove biofilm, discolorations and thin layers of early...

§ 3 USE THE PS INSTRUMENT ONLY! The original PIEZON® NO PAIN1 PS Instrument oscillates linearly and can be used in 95% of all cases to remove mineralized plaque. Hand instruments lead to increased loss of substance and carry the risk of over-instrumentation. Higher efficiency compared to hand instruments leads to shorter treatment time. The PIEZON® NO PAIN1 PS Instrument, the PIEZON® handpiece and the PIEZON® NO PAIN1 electronic module were designed to work together. This trilogy works in harmony. LESS PAIN1 = SATISFIED PATIENTS = LOYAL PATIENTS § 4 NO MORE POLISHING AND LESS HAND INSTRUMENTS!...
