Safe airflow education in a brave new world

EMS and the Swiss Dental Academy (SDA) have announced that their popular Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) events are back on track, with new protocols to ensure everyone's safety. The

courses are ideal for dental hygienists and therapists looking to offer their patients the very best in prophylaxis and to renew their vigour for dentistry in these challenging times, while

achieving a financial benefit. Currently, the SDA is offering the GBT Masterclass, a half-day of theoretical knowledge to develop strategies for periodontal and implant maintenance by

looking at the components of the GBT model including AirFlow, PerioFlow and the advancements in 'No Pain' Piezon technology. The GBT protocol is based on individual patient

diagnosis and risk assessment in order to achieve optimal results. The treatment is given in the least invasive way, with the highest level of comfort, safety and efficiency. This means that

even previously anxious patients are happy to return time and again, boosting practice income on a regular basis. Course numbers are limited to ten, in a space suitable to hold at least 20

delegates, so that social distancing can be easily achieved. The organiser will also be printing QR codes for track and trace, keeping windows and doors open, plus providing hand sanitiser

on arrival and masks to whoever wants them. SDA trainer Faye Donald is back in the SDA saddle along with Sally Simpson, Amanda Gallie and Christina Chatfield, and new recruits Anna

Middleton, Lottie Manahan and Benjamin Tighe. They are excited to share their knowledge and love of the GBT protocol with others. For further information on upcoming events and locations and
