Let’s get began. Dr. Wühr, are you able to please inform us concerning the story of EMS and the way it’s positioned as a frontrunner in prevention and prophylaxis worldwide?

Dr. Ernst Wühr

In 1981, Electro Medical System (EMS) was based within the Vallée du Joux, a tiny valley in Switzerland, and this previous yr, we celebrated its fortieth anniversary. We relocated to Nyon in 1995, subsequent to the lake of Geneva. EMS is devoted to the dental trade, the urology world, and ache remedy, providing scientific options to deal with most skeleton pathologies. EMS shapes the historical past and the way forward for set up administration with profitable guided set up administration.

Vallée du Joux, Switzerland, the place the EMS Story Started

Dental is our ardour, and we’re specialists in eradicating biofilm due to the scientific protocols of EMS Guided Biofilm Remedy. Biofilm is the foundation reason behind tooth decay, periodontitis, and peri-implantitis. Our objective is to take away biofilm with GBT, however its success will not be solely from this methodology.

Electro Medical System’s success relies on our 4 pillars.

The primary pillar immediately pertains to the scientifically confirmed methodology of GBT, and this type of proof is important in right now’s quickly evolving world of dentistry.

Our breakthrough merchandise, similar to prophylaxis, are our second pillar. These product milestones are crucial for the subsequent technology so rising dental professionals can clearly perceive that all the things is transferring in direction of enabling them to optimally take away biofilm.

Talking of the chance to supply sufferers profitable implant remedies, that was coincidentally my authentic intention of changing into a GBT coach. I wanted to discover a higher solution to handle our implants — and now we have discovered it!

We all know that Guided Biofilm Remedy is the mission of EMS right here in Canada. Are you able to inform us extra about how and why it was developed?

Dr. Ernst Wühr

I feel it’s necessary to notice that GBT will not be solely supplied in Canada. That mentioned, the journey in Canada began in 2019 once we registered the AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Grasp gadget. However eight months later, we have been hit with the unexpected circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. With practices closing their doorways, it was a chronic course of.

Guided Biofilm Remedy is knowledgeable oral hygiene remedy in dentistry, and was beforehand recognized for little or no, if not zero, innovation. And this isn’t only a assertion for Canada — it’s a worldwide assertion. It was essential to supply the shopper, our valued clinicians, a protocol that they’ll confidently depend on and a technique that the affected person can rely on confidently. GBT exists for standardization and since periodontal illness is excessive on the record of power illnesses which might be probably the most widespread. Greater than 15 p.c of the grownup inhabitants in the USA endure from reasonable to extreme periodontal illness. The trade presently faces hygienist staffing shortages in practices, which is a big problem to navigate. The normal methodology of delivering hygiene and non-surgical periodontal remedies has develop into outdated. For instance, now we have an affiliation in Europe who’ve carried out checks with outcomes stating that 15 p.c of dentists utilizing the outdated, conventional strategies couldn’t ship 100% biofilm elimination.

We knew we wanted to behave on these outcomes and discover a extra superior method just because EMS was, and all the time has been, within the sector of periodontal illness. I strongly imagine now we have crammed a niche with Guided Biofilm Remedy, and we proceed to make adjustments for the higher efficiently.

Chrissy Ford

I wish to contact on what you talked about about calibration and innovation. I began my consulting enterprise as a result of I wished to see extra calibration. I used to be annoyed with having sufferers go to my follow, beforehand witnessing a special state of care at different practices, and I knew there was a niche to fill. I used to be capable of convey GBT and put all of it underneath one wheel. Being immersed in dentistry for fairly a while, it was evident that not many inventions have been out there for hygienists. Our jobs can develop into irritating and stagnant at occasions. In nearly 20 years of being a clinician, having one thing new has been very thrilling for the primary time.

Are you able to inform us how the crew in Switzerland at EMS created this know-how with preserving the affected person expertise in thoughts?

Dr. Ernst Wühr

Our slogan at EMS, which is acknowledged globally within the dental trade, is “I really feel good.” And EMS selected this with a goal and message in thoughts. After we have been growing the AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Grasp gadget, we saved affected person expertise prime of thoughts, however most significantly, we have been all the time serious about the dental skilled. If the clinician feels good and has the required instruments to carry out an awesome job clinically, the affected person expertise will naturally be in good palms.

“I really feel good”. What Extra can we ask from our sufferers!

The AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Grasp is a incredible product and, for my part, probably the greatest units in right now’s dental trade. Nonetheless, the precise follow builder is GBT. In the long run, it’s the affected person expertise that issues most when GBT remedies are appropriately delivered. The Swiss Dental Academy is likely one of the most in depth coaching institutes within the dental world, and we take pleasure in coaching hundreds of clinicians to allow them to ship optimum remedies to their valued sufferers. Simply final yr, we gave greater than 300 programs worldwide. We lately began a sizeable affected person survey, have already got greater than 70 thousand questionnaires accomplished, and the outcomes are wonderful. Sufferers are happy with the pain-free, Guided Biofilm Remedy, and lots of are actually requesting it throughout their dental visits.

As a follow supervisor, we additionally ship out affected person surveys to higher perceive how we’re doing in our follow. Opinions are coming again with constructive mentions of GBT, as some sufferers have by no means skilled such a high-tech cleansing.

I wish to discuss extra concerning the idea of licensed GBT integration made doable solely via coaching with EMS trainers and the Oral Science crew of dental hygienists. Are you able to inform us why EMS selected Oral Science to be its premier accomplice to supply Guided Biofilm Remedy?

Dr. Ernst Wühr

Oral Science has not solely totally understood our mission however has been prepared to disrupt dentistry for the higher.
