The health of your teeth starts with effective prophylaxis. This is exactly where GBT – Guided Biofilm Therapy comes in. This method of professional teeth cleaning removes biofilm in a targeted way – one of the main causes of dental diseases such as tooth decay and periodontitis.
Effective biofilm management is essential to prevent dental and gum disease and to protect long-term oral health. Guided Biofilm Therapy is one part of regular prophylaxis for this.
At F80 in Berlin, you benefit from an experienced team, modern technology and a patient-centered approach. Our bright rooms and central location make your visit as comfortable as possible. Together, we can support your dental health with Guided Biofilm Therapy tailored to you.
What is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?
GBT – Guided Biofilm Therapy is a modern method of professional teeth cleaning. It focuses on the targeted management of biofilm, a colony of bacteria that settles on the teeth and in the gums. Biofilm is a major factor in the development of dental diseases such as tooth decay, periodontitis and bad breath. Without regular removal, it can cause serious damage to teeth and gums.
Special staining techniques make the biofilm visible so that cleaning can be targeted. The deposits are then removed with EMS Airflow technology. We adapt the approach to your findings and your sensitivity.
Why GBT matters
Why GBT is so important for your dental health
GBT – Guided Biofilm Therapy is a method of professional teeth cleaning that focuses on the targeted removal of biofilm and plaque.
Biofilm is an invisible layer of bacteria that collects on the teeth and gums. Without regular removal, it can lead to serious dental disease. Tooth decay, which breaks down enamel, and periodontitis, an inflammatory disease of the tooth-supporting tissues, are common consequences. Biofilm can also cause bad breath as the bacteria release metabolic by-products.
If biofilm is not regularly removed by a dentist, serious long-term damage can occur:
- Increased risk of tooth loss
- Inflammation of the gums
- Systemic conditions such as cardiovascular problems
In GBT, the biofilm is made visible with a special disclosing agent so that cleaning can be targeted. A fine jet of air, water and powder (EMS Airflow) then removes the deposits.
Regular, targeted removal of biofilm is an important part of preventing tooth decay and periodontitis. How often cleaning makes sense is something we discuss with you after the examination.
Step by step
The GBT process explained step by step
1. Make the biofilm visible:
At the beginning of Guided Biofilm Therapy, a special dye makes the biofilm visible. This allows the clinical team to locate bacterial deposits precisely and treat them specifically.
2. Thorough cleaning:
The stained biofilm areas are thoroughly removed with EMS Airflow technology, using a mixture of air, water and fine powder.
3. Protect the teeth and gums:
Our aim is to keep your teeth, gums and dental restorations healthy for as long as possible. That is what the F80 Signature Prophylaxis is for: an examination, professional teeth cleaning and advice with tips for your oral hygiene at home.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about GBT – Guided Biofilm Therapy
Find answers to the most common questions about our innovative teeth-cleaning method.
How does GBT differ from conventional teeth cleaning?
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) differs from conventional teeth cleaning in its systematic and gentle approach. A special disclosing agent makes the biofilm visible before it is removed with EMS Airflow technology. This allows targeted cleaning.
Is the treatment painful?
How cleaning feels varies from person to person. We adapt the approach to your findings and your sensitivity. Please tell us before the treatment if your teeth or gums are sensitive.
How often should GBT be performed?
As a rule, GBT is recommended two to four times a year. The exact frequency depends on your individual dental health. Discuss the right interval with your dentist at your next appointment.
Who is GBT suitable for?
GBT is suitable for many people who want to improve their dental health and prevent dental diseases such as tooth decay and periodontitis. Whether it suits you is something we clarify during the examination. Patients with braces, implants or sensitive gums benefit from this method in particular.
Is GBT suitable for children and older people?
GBT can be used at any age, in children as well as in older people with sensitive gums or dental restorations. We adapt the approach to age and findings. How the appointment works for children and adolescents is explained on our page on children's prophylaxis with GBT.
Does health insurance cover the costs?
Coverage depends on your health insurer and individual policy. Statutory health insurance often covers only conventional teeth cleaning or preventive care, while GBT is a privately paid service. Your dentist will be happy to explain the costs involved.
How long does GBT take?
GBT usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the amount of biofilm and the patient's individual needs. The F80 team will be happy to explain the treatment process in more detail.
