TOne of the standout services at Smile by Dr Noura Clinic in Dubai Digital Park is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), an approach to professional dental cleaning that ensures superior gum health. Yet, unlike traditional methods that rely on scraping and polishing, GBT uses the EMS Airflow Master, which harnesses nano-sized airflow particles to gently and thoroughly remove biofilm from teeth and gums.
But what exactly is biofilm, and why is its removal so important?
What is Biofilm, and Why Does It Matter?
Biofilm is a sticky, invisible layer of bacteria that forms on teeth, gums, and soft tissues in the mouth. Further, while some bacteria are harmless, pathogenic biofilm can lead to gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis), tooth decay, and even systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes if left unchecked.
Traditional cleaning methods often rely on scaling tools and polishing pastes, which may not effectively remove biofilm, especially in hard-to-reach areas. This is where Guided Biofilm Therapy with EMS Airflow Master stands out.
How Guided Biofilm Therapy Works
Guided Biofilm Therapy follows a systematic and minimally invasive approach to ensure complete biofilm removal while keeping the experience comfortable and effective for patients. Here’s how it works:
- Biofilm Detection: A harmless dye is applied to teeth to reveal biofilm buildup, making it easier for the dentist and the patient to see areas requiring attention.
- Nano Airflow Cleaning – The EMS Airflow Master delivers a controlled stream of warm water, air, and nano-sized powder particles that effectively remove biofilm, stains, and soft plaque from teeth and gums without abrasion or discomfort.
- Deep Subgingival Cleaning—Unlike traditional polishing, Airflow technology can reach below the gum line, making it ideal for patients with gum disease, orthodontic appliances, implants, and sensitive teeth.
- Final Check & Protection – After removing the biofilm, your dentist ensures that no plaque remains, then applies a protective fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel and prevent further bacterial buildup.
Why EMS Airflow Master? The Science Behind Nano Airflow Technology
The EMS Airflow Master is a game-changer in dental cleaning, and here’s why:
✅ Nano-sized Powder Particles: Unlike traditional polishing pastes, the EMS system utilizes ultra-fine powder to remove biofilm and stains without causing micro-abrasions to enamel or gum tissue.
✅ Minimally Invasive & Pain-Free: Many patients report that traditional scaling and polishing can be uncomfortable, especially for those with sensitive teeth or gum recession. With EMS Airflow, the process is gentle yet highly effective—no scraping or discomfort involved.
✅ Safe for All Patients: From children to adults and even those with orthodontic braces, dental implants, or gum disease, Guided Biofilm Therapy provides a safe and precise cleaning method tailored to individual needs. Superior Gum Health: Because the Airflow system cleans below the gum line, it’s a highly effective treatment for preventing and managing gum disease—a significant advantage over conventional scaling and polishing.
