“Coastal Carolina’s investment in Airflow technology and adoption of the GBT protocol is a testament to its commitment to providing the highest level of hygiene education,” said Mehdi Sbouaï, EMS Dental’s head of business development and product management. “This forward-thinking institution is ensuring that its RDH graduates can improve the quality of oral care and overall health of their patients.” 

Specifically, GBT includes critical elements of the traditional dental hygiene process of care such as assessment, disclosing and patient-motivation. The GBT approach allows critical debridement techniques to be performed quickly, comfortably and efficiently. 

“I consider GBT to be the ground-breaking protocol and technology that will enable us to graduate an elite group of hygienists who are highly qualified to use this modern biofilm management modality and also become advocates for its broader adoption," said Warren F, Gabarée, DDS, Coastal Carolina Community College’s department head of dental programs.

The Airflow Prophylaxis Master device applies EMS’ Erythritol Airflow Plus powder via the Airflow Max handpiece to thoroughly remove biofilm in the sulcus area and shallow pockets up to 4 mm, on the tongue and gingiva, as well as on the palate. When used with EMS Dental’s GBT, Airflow safely removes biofilm, stains and young calculus deposits on natural teeth, restorations, and implants. 

“As a clinical hygienist and educator, I believe GBT has the ability to impact the future of dental hygiene and have a positive impact on the patients we see not only for their oral health but their systemic health as well,” said Erika Spring, RDH, BSDH, MEd, a full-time hygiene instructor at the college.
