Following a split\u2010mouth design, quadrants 1\u20134 and 2\u20133 were randomly allocated to receive air\u2010polishing followed by ultrasonic calculus removal following a protocol known as Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) or traditional full\u2010mouth ultrasonic debridement followed by polishing with a rubber cup and prophylactic paste (US\u2009+\u2009P). Bleeding on probing (BoP) and the plaque index (PI) were collected at baseline (T0), 2\u2009weeks (T1), 4\u2009weeks (T2), 3\u2009months (T3), and 6\u2009months (T4) and 12\u2009months (T5). Following the same randomization, prophylactic therapy was provided at 3\u2009months (T3) and 6\u2009months (T4). Clinical parameters, treatment time and patient comfort and satisfaction were evaluated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 41 patients were selected, 39 completed the study. The clinical parameters were clinically satisfactory for both treatments at every time. At 4\u2009months after treatment, GBT maintained significantly lower BoP and PI. GBT protocol required a significantly lower treatment time, especially at T3 and T4, when it saved 24.5% and 25.1% of the time, respectively. Both treatments were rated positively by most patients. However, GBT was perceived as more comfortable, and a higher number of patients preferred it.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>No significant difference was observed between GBT and conventional ultrasonic debridement and rubber cup polishing in terms of BoP and PI levels.
