EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy
What is EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy?
EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a next-generation professional dental cleaning protocol developed by the Swiss company EMS (Electro Medical Systems). It is based on the advanced AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® technologies.
This method is designed not only to remove calculus (tartar) but also to thoroughly and systematically eliminate the biofilm — the thin, sticky layer of bacteria that adheres to the teeth and gums. Biofilm is one of the primary causes of gingivitis, periodontal disease, and tooth decay.
How does the treatment work?
Every step of the protocol is designed to ensure gentleness, precision, and the complete removal of biofilm.
- Diagnostics and Examination
Assessment of the gums, tooth surfaces, and any signs of inflammation.
- Disclosing the Biofilm
A special dye is used to make the biofilm visible.
- Motivation and Education
Personalised oral-hygiene instructions tailored to the patient’s needs.
- AIRFLOW® Treatment
Warm, fine water spray combined with a specialised powder gently removes biofilm from all accessible surfaces.
- PERIOFLOW® Treatment
A minimally invasive cleaning of deeper, harder-to-reach periodontal pockets.
- PIEZON® Ultrasonic Scaling
Precise removal of any remaining calculus using ultra-gentle, low-pressure ultrasonic technology.
- Final Check
Re-evaluation of all treated areas to ensure complete cleanliness.
- Ongoing Maintenance
For long-term oral health, the treatment is recommended every 3–6 months, depending on individual risk factors.
Advantages compared to traditional scaling
- Pain-free and gentle: Does not damage the gums and does not scratch the enamel.
- Visible cleanliness with a soft, pleasant feel: The unique air–water–powder technology delivers a thorough yet gentle cleaning experience.
- Ideal for sensitive teeth, implants, and orthodontic appliances: Safe and effective even in situations where traditional scaling may be uncomfortable or risky.
- Scientifically proven effectiveness: An internationally recognised protocol widely used in periodontal prevention and maintenance.
Who is guided Biofilm Therapy recommended for?
- For individuals who want to prevent inflammation or periodontal problems.
- For patients with dental implants or orthodontic appliances.
- For those who have experienced sensitivity or discomfort during traditional scaling.
- And for anyone who wants to keep their teeth and gums healthy and clean in the long term.
