Guided biofilm therapy (GBT) is terminology that describes a strategic plan for upsetting the underworld of biofilms in the oral cavity. This novel approach to biofilm removal incorporates innovative air polishing powder, devices and strategies focused on ergonomics, effectiveness and efficiency. GBT requires a shift in traditional technologies and methods for managing biofilm, but the patient and clinician both benefit from an easy, gentle and effective method of biofilm removal from implants, exposed root surfaces, delicate restorative materials, and deep periodontal pockets. This course explores compelling science and benefits surrounding the magic of GBT for preventing and treating biofilm infections in the oral cavity.

Upon completion of this session, attendees should be able to:

• Interpret evidence surrounding pathogenic biofilm as a direct and indirect promoter of diseases inside and outside the oral cavity.

• Identify shifts in paradigms and protocols necessary to provide GBT to patients.
