Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) and EMS Airflow™
The reduction of plaque and oral bacteria (correctly referred to as biofilm) is one of the most important ways to the prevent almost all dental disease. Biofilm is the main factor for decay as well as gum and implant infections. Periodontitis (gum disease) can also increase the risk of systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular and respiratory disease, arthritis or diabetes.
