What Is Biofilm Guided Therapy?
Biofilm Guided Therapy (BGT) is a teeth-cleaning method that uses warm water, air and a fine powder spray to remove plaque, biofilm and surface stains, instead of metal scraping. At iCare Dental in IOI City Mall Putrajaya, it runs on Swiss EMS technology built to clean thoroughly while staying gentle on your teeth and gums.
Traditional scaling relies on metal instruments to scrape away plaque, which can feel uncomfortable for some patients. BGT takes a different approach, using a guided, dye-assisted process to target exactly where biofilm remains, without the scraping sensation.
We know that for many people, the thought of a dental clean brings up memories of discomfort. BGT was designed to change that, and our team is happy to talk you through how it feels before your first session, so there are no surprises.

Frequently asked questions.
Here is what people ask us most about Biofilm Guided Therapy (BGT).
Biofilm Guided Therapy, or BGT, is a gentle cleaning method that uses warm water, air and a fine powder spray to remove plaque and biofilm, rather than the metal scraping tools used in traditional cleaning. It is generally considered a more comfortable experience while still cleaning thoroughly.
Most patients find BGT noticeably gentler than traditional scaling, since there is no metal scraping involved. Some people with very sensitive teeth may feel mild sensitivity to the water spray, which we can adjust to keep you comfortable.
Most patients benefit from a session every six months, similar to a regular cleaning schedule, though this can vary if you have gum disease or heavier staining. We will recommend a schedule based on your check-up.
Cost depends on the condition of your teeth and gums and how much biofilm or staining needs addressing. We recommend booking a consultation so we can give you a personalised quote.
