What Is EMS Airflow Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?
What Is EMS Airflow®?
EMS Airflow is the advanced technology used to deliver Guided Biofilm Therapy. It combines a controlled stream of warm water, air and fine erythritol powder to gently remove biofilm, plaque and surface stains from teeth, restorations and around dental implants with minimal abrasion. When needed, it is combined with PERIOFLOW and PIEZON technologies to complete a comfortable and thorough professional clean.
What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an evidence-based approach to professional dental hygiene that focuses on identifying and removing harmful dental biofilm, the sticky layer of bacteria that can lead to tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath. Unlike traditional cleaning methods, GBT follows a structured treatment protocol that combines patient assessment, biofilm detection, gentle cleaning and personalised prevention advice to support long-term oral health. It is recognised as a modern approach to preventive dentistry and aligns with the principles of Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal (PMPR).
Why Is It Considered the Modern Standard for Professional Teeth Cleaning?
Traditional scale and polish treatments mainly focus on removing visible tartar. EMS Airflow Guided Biofilm Therapy takes a preventive approach by targeting the bacterial biofilm responsible for many common oral health problems before they progress. Its systematic eight-step protocol is designed to maximise comfort, improve cleaning efficiency and support healthier teeth, gums and dental implants, making it the preferred choice for many modern dental practices worldwide.
What Can EMS Airflow Help With?
8-Step EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy Process
Diagnose
Your appointment begins with a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and overall oral health to identify plaque, gum disease and any areas that need extra attention.
Biofilm Disclosure
A safe disclosing solution is applied to highlight harmful biofilm, making it visible so nothing is missed during your treatment.
Motivate
We'll show you where biofilm builds up and provide personalised advice on brushing, flossing and daily oral hygiene to help keep your smile healthy between visits.
AIRFLOW Cleaning
Using a gentle combination of warm water, air and fine erythritol powder, EMS AIRFLOW removes biofilm, plaque and stubborn surface stains from your teeth, gums and restorations with minimal discomfort.
PERIOFLOW (If Required)
For patients with deeper gum pockets or dental implants, PERIOFLOW gently cleans below the gum line to remove biofilm from areas that regular cleaning cannot reach.
PIEZON Ultrasonic Cleaning
If any hardened tartar (calculus) remains, PIEZON ultrasonic technology carefully removes it while preserving healthy tooth structure and maximising comfort.
Final Inspection
We perform a final check to ensure your teeth are thoroughly clean and all biofilm and deposits have been effectively removed.
Recall & Prevention Plan
Before you leave, we'll recommend a personalised maintenance schedule and home care routine to help keep your teeth and gums healthy for the long term.

EMS Airflow® vs Traditional Scale & Polish
