There is a certified dental clinic in Vila Franca de Xira to carry out the revolutionary GBT protocol for oral hygiene
Oral hygiene is one of the fundamental pillars for maintaining a healthy smile and preventing premature problems such as cavities and periodontal disease. However, traditional methods of dental cleaning no longer meet the needs of modern oral health. This is where the GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy) Protocol comes in, a revolutionary approach that redefines the standards for prevention and premature treatment.
This advanced methodology has become increasingly sought after, including by celebrities, and is transforming the way we view oral hygiene. In this article, you will understand how our dental clinic in Vila Franca de Xira, certified under the GBT Protocol, provides a comfortable, effective, and personalized experience accessible to everyone with this treatment.

What is guided biofilm therapy (GBT)?
The GBT protocol is a scientifically proven treatment that focuses on the removal of dental biofilm in a precise and minimally invasive way.
But what exactly is a biofilm? It’s an invisible layer of bacteria that continuously forms on teeth and gums. If left unchecked, it can develop into cavities, gingivitis and even more serious periodontal diseases.
Composed of specific steps, GBT uses state-of-the-art equipment such as AIRFLOW® to ensure a deep, comfortable and completely safe cleaning.
8 steps of the GBT protocol
- 1. Initial diagnosis: The assessment begins with a complete examination to identify existing problems and determine the presence of biofilm.
- 2. Biofilm disclosure: We apply a dye that highlights the areas where the biofilm is present, allowing for a more targeted and effective treatment.
- 3. Personalization: We explain to the patient how to improve their oral hygiene routine and adopt an educational approach to prevent future problems.
- 4. Pretreatment: We reduce the bacterial load with an initial cleanup to minimize the risk of complications during the procedure.
- 5. Removal with AIRFLOW®: Using a combination of air, water and a gentle powder, we remove the biofilm comfortably without damaging enamel or gums.
- 6. Subgingival cleaning with PERIOFLOW® (if needed): For deeper periodontal pockets, PERIOFLOW® allows you to remove the biofilm accumulated below the gum line.
- 7. Ultrasound with PIEZON®: In cases of calcified tartar, we use high-precision ultrasound to remove hardened deposits.
- 8. Follow-up: We ensure that all areas are treated and plan a personalized maintenance routine for each patient.
Benefits of conducting the oral hygiene consultation with this protocol
In addition to comfort, which is very beneficial for patients with dental sensitivity or fear of the dentist, the GBT Protocol completely removes the biofilm, which promotes oral health.
Studies indicate that biofilm removal with GBT protocol significantly reduces gingival inflammation, even in patients with advanced periodontitis.
Adds to EMS Dental, that patients using GBT show greater adherence to regular maintenance appointments, which contributes to better oral health in the long run.
Be aware that this dental cleaning treatment, fully customized to the specific needs of the patient, guarantees the best results.
Just think that, contrary to traditional methods, it is possible to treat hard-to-reach areas through state-of-the-art equipment such as Airflow with erythritol powder which, compared to traditional methods of polishing, is more effective and less abrasive.
Finally, comprehensiveness is another consideration. Whether for patients with implants, orthodontic appliances or periodontal problems, the GBT protocol adapts to any clinical situation.
