What is Periodontal Treatment with GBT?

Periodontal treatment with Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a modern, minimally invasive approach designed to maintain and restore gum health. Unlike conventional scaling and polishing, GBT focuses on targeting dental biofilm—the sticky layer of bacteria that builds up on teeth and gums, leading to inflammation, bleeding, bad breath, and eventually gum disease if left untreated.

This cutting-edge treatment is backed by clinical research and is performed with the help of advanced devices that gently and effectively clean both teeth and gums. It not only removes harmful biofilm but also preserves the natural enamel and soft tissues, making it more comfortable for patients.

At Kairon Polyclinic, GBT is offered as part of our commitment to provide scientifically proven, patient-friendly dental care that delivers long-term results.

How Does It Work?

GBT follows a systematic, step-by-step protocol that ensures thorough cleaning and maximum comfort for the patient:

  • Assessment & Disclosure – The dentist applies a harmless dye to highlight biofilm deposits on the teeth and gums. This allows both the patient and dentist to clearly see the areas that need attention.
  • Education & Motivation – Patients are guided on proper oral hygiene techniques tailored to their needs, ensuring that they can maintain results at home.
  • Airflow Cleaning – A gentle stream of air, warm water, and fine powder particles is used to remove biofilm from teeth, gums, and even difficult-to-reach areas such as dental implants or orthodontic brackets.
  • Perioflow & Piezon Therapy – These specialized tools allow deep cleaning around the gum line and periodontal pockets without causing trauma to the tissues.
  • Final Check-Up – The dentist ensures all biofilm and deposits are cleared, leaving the gums healthier and the mouth refreshed.

Who Needs Periodontal Treatment with GBT?

Periodontal treatment with GBT is suitable for a wide range of patients:

  • Individuals with early signs of gum disease – bleeding gums, swelling, or persistent bad breath.
  • Patients with periodontal disease requiring regular maintenance and monitoring.
  • Orthodontic patients wearing braces or aligners, where biofilm tends to accumulate more.
  • Patients with dental implants or crowns, where traditional cleaning may be less effective.
  • Individuals focused on preventive care, who want to maintain optimal oral and systemic health.

The result is a comfortable experience that achieves superior cleaning compared to traditional methods while being effective for patients with sensitive gums or dental restorations.

What are the Causes of Gum Problems?

Periodontal problems are primarily caused by the buildup of biofilm and plaque on teeth and gums. However, several factors can increase the risk:

  • Poor oral hygiene practices
  • Smoking or tobacco use
  • Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, menopause)
  • Certain medical conditions such as diabetes
  • Genetic predisposition to gum disease
  • Stress and lifestyle factors

 

Essentially, anyone who values their gum and overall health can benefit from GBT.

Where Can It Be Used?

While individual response varies, many patients experience:

  • Preventive dental care to maintain oral hygiene.
  • Periodontal disease management for patients with gingivitis or periodontitis.
  • Implant maintenance to prevent peri-implantitis.
  • Orthodontics for patients undergoing treatment with braces or aligners.
  • Pediatric dentistry, as it is gentle and non-invasive for children.

 

Its versatility makes it a preferred choice for both prevention and treatment.
