GBT Dental Hygiene Protocol in Altamura
Revolution in dental hygiene: comfort and precision
The adoption of the GBT Dental Hygiene Protocol in Altamura represents a significant evolution in the way oral biofilm is treated, improving the comfort, precision, and customization of professional hygiene sessions. This system, developed by EMS, allows for a minimally invasive approach based on biofilm visualization and guided removal, replacing traditional instruments with more gentle and accurate devices. The protocol is designed to meet the needs of the most sensitive patients, those with dental implants, delicate gums, or those requiring in-depth treatments, ensuring a more thorough level of cleansing than conventional methods.
What is the GBT Protocol and why is it used?
The GBT Protocol was created with the goal of selectively and specifically removing bacterial biofilm, avoiding invasive or uncomfortable procedures. Its effectiveness stems from the combined use of advanced technologies that allow for early identification of the biofilm and then safe removal without damaging the tissue. The diagnostic dye applied at the beginning of the session allows the hygienist to precisely identify the areas to be treated, making the entire procedure more controlled and personalized. This initial phase improves the quality of treatment and provides patients with an understanding of the condition of their oral cavity, helping them understand the critical areas to monitor during daily home hygiene.
Biofilm removal is performed using dedicated devices such as AIRFLOW®, which uses a jet of air, warm water, and erythritol powder to clean teeth, gums, restorations, and implants without scratching or irritating them. This technology eliminates visible plaque and plaque in hard-to-reach areas, minimizing vibrations and unpleasant sensations. In cases where the biofilm is located under the gums, on implants, or in periodontal pockets, it is used PERIOFLOW®, a system designed to intervene in depth with soft and flexible cannulas, respectful of the tissues.
How the treatment is carried out and what technologies are used
The treatment follows well-defined steps that ensure precision and maximum comfort. After the biofilm disclosure phase, the hygienist proceeds with the use of AIRFLOW® to remove the superficial and subgingival biofilm, adjusting the intensity and direction of the jet based on the patient's anatomy and the areas being treated. This phase is particularly useful for patients with orthodontic appliances, cosmetic restorations, implants, or sensitive teeth, as the erythritol powder is fine, biocompatible, and gentle on even the most fragile surfaces.
When necessary, the protocol includes the use of the PIEZON® system, a next-generation ultrasound device that works with highly controlled power to remove any residual tartar deposits. This technology reduces the vibrations and noise typical of traditional instruments, making the session more comfortable and tolerable, even for those who typically experience professional hygiene with apprehension. At the end of the treatment, the teeth are polished with specific pastes and, if appropriate, an enamel strengthening agent is applied to improve the strength of the tooth surfaces.
Benefits of the GBT Protocol for Oral Health
The main advantage of the GBT Protocol is its ability to completely, specifically, and gently remove biofilm, helping to reduce gum inflammation and improve the appearance of the smile. The absence of invasive instruments reduces pain, bleeding, and potential irritation, making the session more pleasant and suitable even for sensitive patients or children. The technology used allows for thorough cleaning under the gums, around implants, and in hard-to-reach areas, ensuring an effective treatment both aesthetically and functionally.
The protocol proves useful in preventing periodontal disease and maintaining implants, thanks to its ability to intercept and early remove the biofilm responsible for inflammation. Regularly performed, the procedure also promotes better breath control, brighter teeth, and a longer-lasting feeling of cleanliness. It is also an ideal solution for those with dentin hypersensitivity, as it prevents direct contact of metal instruments with teeth and gums.
