Guided Biofilm Therapy

EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy – The Game Changer!

With Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), you are opting for the ‘gold standard’ in professional prophylactic treatment. As patients become aware how preventive oral care can reduce the need for expensive restorative work, the more they will demand dental practices to make the latest technological developments and procedures available.

Read our checklist HERE on how to qualify as a GBTCertified Practice and get all the added benefits.

GBT leads the paradigm shift in professional prophylaxis based on the latest scientific evidence.

It employs the AIR-FLOW method which has the following proven benefits:

• Improves visibility of calculus
• Minimises harmful oral bacteria
• Significantly enhances patient comfort
• Reduces effort and the strain on the practitioner when using ultrasonic devices
• Saves time that can be better used during the consultation

Dental hygienists in South Africa can become accredited GBT professionals with Swiss Dental Academy (SDA) training conducted by local oral hygienist Dirna Grobbelaar, one of only four SDA qualified trainers in the country. Grobbelaar offers GBT training at Ivodent’s International Centre For Dental Education (ICDE) in Cape Town and other training venues around the country – watch IvodentSA Facebook Events for dates and venues.

Ivodent’s SDA programme covers Guided Biofilm Therapy, implant cleaning and safe usage of the Air-Flow and Piezon instrumentation with added clinical and scientific evidence and practical exercises.

“Guided Biofilm Therapy is so different, innovative and effective that it makes oral hygiene exciting again”, says Grobbelaar. “Whilst the GBT protocol is different to what we were taught in some ways, it also helps improve important basics, such as using a plaque indicator and improving scaling technique.”
