Professional Dental
Hygiene Reimagined
Swiss Guided Biofilm Therapy by EMS
A scientifically proven, prevention-first approach to oral hygiene using the EMS GBT protocol — gentle, precise and designed for long-term oral health.
Why Biofilm Matters
Dental biofilm — commonly known as plaque — is a structured community of bacteria that forms on teeth, gums and restorations. Left undisturbed, harmful bacteria within biofilm produce toxins that trigger inflammation, leading to gum disease, tooth decay and, in patients with implants, peri-implantitis.
Research consistently demonstrates that biofilm is the primary cause of the most prevalent dental diseases. Effective biofilm removal is therefore the most important preventive intervention in modern dentistry.
Traditional scale and polish instruments remove calculus but frequently leave biofilm in place. Guided Biofilm Therapy is designed specifically to target, disclose and eliminate biofilm first — preventing disease rather than simply reacting to it.
GBT vs Traditional Hygiene
Traditional Scale & Polish
- ✕Biofilm not disclosed or visualised
- ✕Mechanical scraping without targeting
- ✕Can feel uncomfortable or sensitive
- ✕Risk of scratching implants and restorations
- ✕Reactive — treats existing problems
- ✕Standard intervals regardless of risk
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)
- ✓Biofilm disclosed and made visible before treatment
- ✓Targeted AIRFLOW® removes biofilm precisely
- ✓Warm, gentle and largely painless
- ✓Clinically proven safe on implants and restorations
- ✓Prevention-first — eliminates disease before it develops
- ✓Personalised recall based on individual risk
The 8-Step GBT Journey
Every GBT appointment follows the internationally validated EMS protocol — a systematic, evidence-based process designed to achieve the highest standard of biofilm removal.
Assessment
A thorough clinical assessment of your teeth, gums, implants and restorations to understand your individual oral health status and risk factors.
Biofilm Disclosure
A disclosing agent is applied to make bacterial biofilm visible. This allows both clinician and patient to see exactly where biofilm is present.
Patient Education
We use the disclosed biofilm to guide personalised oral hygiene education, empowering you to improve your home care routine effectively.
AIRFLOW®
The AIRFLOW® device uses a precise combination of warm water, air and fine erythritol powder to gently and effectively remove biofilm, stains and early calculus.
PERIOFLOW®
Where clinically indicated, PERIOFLOW® delivers subgingival biofilm removal in deep pockets around teeth and implants with exceptional precision.
PIEZON®
EMS PIEZON® technology uses ultrasonic vibration to remove remaining calculus and deposits with minimal discomfort and maximum precision.
Final Check
A thorough final clinical assessment confirms that all biofilm, staining and calculus have been effectively removed.
Recall Planning
A personalised recall interval is established based on your clinical findings, risk profile and treatment goals to support long-term oral health.
