      Guided Biofilm Therapy: A Gentle Approach to Oral Health

      Guided biofilm therapy (GBT) is a modern approach to dental care that focuses on disrupting and removing harmful oral biofilms (plaque). These biofilms are complex communities of bacteria that can form on teeth and contribute to various oral health problems, including cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.

      What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?

      GBT involves a comprehensive approach to oral hygiene that combines professional cleaning, patient education, and the use of specialized tools and techniques. The goal of GBT is to disrupt the biofilm structure and remove harmful bacteria, promoting a healthier oral environment.

      Key Components of GBT

      • Professional Cleanings: Regular dental cleanings are essential for removing plaque and tartar buildup, which can contribute to biofilm formation.
      • Patient Education: GBT emphasizes patient education on proper oral hygiene techniques, including brushing, flossing, and the use of interdental brushes.
      • Specialized Tools: GBT may incorporate the use of specialized tools, such as air polishers and ultrasonic scalers, to effectively remove biofilms.
      • Antimicrobial Therapy: In some cases, antimicrobial mouthwashes or other treatments may be recommended to help reduce the number of harmful bacteria in the mouth.
