The Modern Approach to
Professional Cleaning
At Clinique Dentaire Chantepoulet, we believe it is essential to offer you different approaches to best meet your needs and sensitivity.
GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy) scaling is a cleaning method that emphasizes comfort and precision, specifically targeting biofilm, the accumulation of bacteria responsible for gum problems and cavities.
What is GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy)?
GBT is a modern, minimally invasive preventive and therapeutic approach to dental care that is revolutionizing the way we take care of your smile.
It focuses on biofilm, the invisible mass of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth. If not removed, biofilm is responsible for tooth decay, gingivitis, and periodontitis.
The principle: Guide cleaning to target only what is necessary, for complete care that respects enamel and tissue.

The 8 GBT Steps:
The GBT technique follows a strict 8-step protocol, using state-of-the-art equipment such as Airflow and Piezon NO PAIN.
1. Biofilm Revealing (The “Guide”)
We apply a plaque disclosing agent (a non-toxic dye) that colors the biofilm, making it visible. This allows us to know exactly where to clean.
2. Education and Motivation
Thanks to this coloring, we show you the areas where your brushing could be improved, helping you optimize your daily hygiene.
3. Airflow: Precision Cleaning
This is the key step and the most enjoyable one! We use the Airflow device, which sprays a jet of warm water, air, and cleaning powder (often erythritol-based) onto your teeth.
This gentle jet effectively removes the revealed biofilm, stains, and incipient deposits, even in hard-to-reach areas.
4. Piezon NO PAIN: For Resistant Tartar
For older, mineralized tartar deposits, we use Piezon technology. Thanks to ultra-thin inserts and minimal vibrations, tartar is removed painlessly and without damaging the enamel.
5. Check-up
We check that all plaque and tartar have been removed.
6, 7 & 8. Fluoride, Check-up and Reminder
Application of fluoride to remineralize the enamel and provide personalized advice for home care.
