SHERIDAN, WYOMING – March 26, 2025 – EMS, Electro Medical Systems SA, is once again setting a new benchmark in dental care with the global unveiling of its next-generation innovation—the GBT Machine®, presented at IDS 2025. This state-of-the-art device is the newest advancement in the Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) protocol, building upon over four decades of expertise in professional oral prophylaxis.
A New Era of Patient-Centered Prophylaxis
The GBT Machine® redefines workflow and comfort.
As the successor to the well-known AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master, the GBT Machine® delivers optimized performance for high-level GBT treatments. Designed for both efficiency and ease-of-use, the device features an intuitive user interface with preset power and water settings. Its automatic handpiece recognition activates the GBT modeinstantly, preventing over-instrumentation and reducing powder usage.¹
The PIEZON PS NO PAIN® MAX module introduces a patient-centric innovation, adapting in real time to the hardness of calculus. This ensures a more comfortable, minimally invasive experience, aligning perfectly with the GBT mission of safety, comfort, and personalized care.
Sustainability Meets Sophistication
Efficiency now comes with environmental responsibility.
Sustainability was a core driver in the design of the new GBT Machine®. EMS has reduced plastic usage by 30% and incorporated aluminum and tempered glass for enhanced durability and hygienic maintenance. Aesthetic upgrades to the GBT Machine station lend a sleek, modern appearance, while functionality improves with a single water bottle supplying both handpieces.
Smart Digital Integration for Enhanced Practice Management
Data-driven dentistry becomes reality.
The GBT Machine® introduces powerful digital connectivity features. Clinicians can access real-time treatment and device data through their personalized MyEMS dashboard. This connectivity streamlines workflows and enables remote diagnostics and after-sales support, minimizing downtime and improving operational efficiency.
Practices certified in the GBT protocol benefit from a unique visual cue: once certified, the GBT letters on the machine light up in pink, symbolizing their commitment to excellence in patient care.
Clinically Proven, Globally Preferred
Evidence-backed innovation that patients prefer.
EMS's leadership in preventive dentistry is underpinned by a growing body of global research and user satisfaction. A large-scale study involving over 400,000 patients found that 94.1% preferred GBT over traditional prophylaxis methods.² Findings from the University of Zurich corroborate these insights, reinforcing GBT’s impact on patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes.³
The GBT Movement: Education at the Core
Empowering practices through the Swiss Dental Academy.
Through its educational arm, the Swiss Dental Academy (SDA), EMS facilitates more than 8,000 GBT training courses annually across 70+ countries. With hands-on, practice-oriented education delivered by experienced dental professionals, the SDA ensures that dental teams are fully equipped to implement GBT with precision and confidence.
“Our training is not just clinical—it’s about building team spirit and transforming practices. It’s a long-term investment in excellence,” says an SDA spokesperson.
