\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the past week, we’ve been talking about the GBT Protocol<\/strong> that we implemented in our daily routine over 4 years ago. Dr. Li\u00f1ares explained in this month’s podcast what this paradigm shift<\/strong> in the world of dental prophylaxis<\/strong> consists of, and today we want to share all the details with you.\n\nAs explained in the latest podcast episode, dental biofilm<\/strong> is the main culprit behind cavities and periodontal and peri-implant infections. Maintaining periodic oral hygiene combined with professional measures such as dental maintenance helps us keep the biofilm in check.\n\nTo carry out these dental maintenance procedures, we’ve adopted GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy)<\/strong><\/a>, the solution from EMS DENTAL<\/a><\/strong> for biofilm management in professional prophylaxis. It involves using 3 cutting-edge technologies: AIRFLOW\u00ae<\/a>, PERIOFLOW\u00ae<\/a>, and PIEZON\u00ae<\/a><\/strong>.\n\nIts efficacy<\/strong> is scientifically proven<\/strong> and is implemented through a treatment protocol based on diagnosis and risk assessment tailored to each patient to achieve the best results.\n\n

And what’s the best thing about this treatment?<\/b><\/h2>\n
It’s minimally invasive<\/strong> and, above all, provides patients with the highest level of comfort, safety, and efficiency<\/strong>.<\/i><\/blockquote>\n\nTo better understand the difference from conventional treatments, let’s explain how we performed prophylaxis before incorporating this system into our clinic.\n\nFirst, we removed tartar with manual instrumentation and ultrasonics, which can be painful, invasive, and scratch tooth and implant surfaces. Then, we proceeded with polishing using rubber and rotary brushes, which is time-consuming and sometimes unable to reach many areas, possibly affecting the gums.\n\nSometimes, it was even necessary to sedate the patient to avoid further discomfort during hygiene procedures. That’s why we decided to change and incorporate this new technology. Now, our treatments are safe and effective; the cleaning is superior, guaranteeing complete biofilm removal, and most importantly, it offers greater comfort to our patients.\n\nTo carry it out, we follow the 8 steps<\/strong> detailed below to achieve the desired results.\n\n
