Biofilm Discloser

It belongs to Step 2 of Guided Biofilm Therapy — Disclose. Staining biofilm before treatment allows both the clinician and patient to see exactly where it is hiding, turning a guessing process into a targeted, evidence-based one.

It comes in a compact bottle containing 250 pre-soaked pellets, each individually ready to use. The format keeps setup simple and eliminates the need for liquid solutions during busy clinical sessions.

The active ingredient is erythrosin — a two-tone food-grade disclosing dye that stains biofilm in distinct colors depending on its maturity.

The two-tone dye differentiates between: • Reddish / light pink — newer, recently deposited biofilm • Blue / dark purple — older, more mature and established biofilm This distinction helps clinicians prioritize treatment areas and helps patients understand their brushing habits at a glance.

Seeing their own biofilm in color is a powerful moment for most patients. It makes oral hygiene advice concrete and visual rather than abstract — improving motivation, homecare compliance, and overall appointment engagement.

Disclosed biofilm guides the entire AIRFLOW® treatment pass — clinicians can see exactly what to target and stop treating when the color is gone. This supports a minimally invasive approach and avoids over-instrumentation of clean tooth surfaces.

Yes, under professional guidance. Periodic home disclosure helps patients monitor their brushing technique and identify missed areas — reinforcing the habits discussed during their GBT appointment.
