Professional dental cleaning: what you need to know
Dental plaque is not just an aesthetic issue. It is a biofilm of millions of bacteria that accumulate daily on teeth and under the gums. Without timely removal, it leads to caries and gum inflammation. It cannot be completely removed at home — professional cleaning is necessary. The gold standard today is the Swiss GBT protocol.
What is GBT?
GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy) is a modern multi-stage system for removing biofilm and plaque to prevent caries and gum disease.
Stages:
- AirFlow cleaning (gentle removal from surfaces and interdental spaces)
- PerioFlow (cleaning periodontal pockets)
- Piezon NO PAIN (ultrasound scaling without pain or overheating)
- polishing
- remineralizing gel application
Suitable even for patients with sensitive teeth, implants, crowns, and braces.
Why it matters
Chronic gum inflammation is not local — bacteria can enter the bloodstream and increase risks of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other conditions.
GBT removes up to 100% of soft plaque and significantly reduces inflammation.
Frequency
- every 6 months (healthy patients)
- every 3–4 months (orthodontics, implants, pregnancy, etc.)
- every 2–3 months (periodontitis treatment)
Plaque forms within 24–48 hours and becomes pathogenic in 10–14 days — consistency is key.
