Touchless Airflow Cleaning (GBT)

A cleaning method that uses warm water, air and a fine powder instead of scraping. Many patients find it more comfortable than traditional scaling, particularly if their teeth are sensitive.

What is Touchless Airflow Cleaning?

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a set order of steps for a dental cleaning. A dye makes the plaque visible so nothing is missed, then warm water, air and a fine powder lift plaque and surface staining away. Hand instruments are still used where hardened tartar needs them, but far less than in a conventional scale and polish.

Setting New Standards in Hygiene

Our touchless airflow technology represents the highest standard of infection control and safety. By eliminating direct contact with sharp instruments for the majority of the cleaning process, we minimize tissue trauma and bacterial spread.

Because there is less scraping and less vibration than a conventional scale, some patients who find cleanings uncomfortable prefer this method. Whether it suits you depends on how much hardened tartar is present.

  • Single-use tips and powder for each patient
  • Protects enamel and gum tissue
  • Deep cleaning capabilities

Advanced GBT Technology

Guided Biofilm Therapy works by making plaque visible first, so cleaning is guided by what can actually be seen rather than by feel alone.

The advanced machine warms the water to body temperature for maximum comfort, while the specialized airflow nozzle reaches deep into periodontal pockets, around implants, and between crowded teeth where traditional brushes and floss cannot reach.
