Dental biofilm is the main etiological factor for caries, periodontitis and peri-implant infections. Periodontitis may increase the risk of systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, arthritis, or diabetes.
Regular oral hygiene, combined with professional measures, keeps biofilm under control.
Axelsson and Lindhe pioneered preventive dentistry in the 1970‘s with studies and clinical protocols based on prophylaxis in “recall hours”. GBT follows the recommendations on Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal (PMPR) and Oral Hygiene Instructions (OHI) for Home Care issued by the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP).
