Laureata con lode in Igiene Dentale nel 2019 presso l’Università di Napoli “Federico II”, dove ho poi proseguito gli studi conseguendo la Laurea Magistrale in Professioni Sanitarie Tecniche. Ho inoltre completato il mio percorso accademico con un Master Universitario di I livello in “Gestione della salute orale nel paziente parodontale e Special Needs”. Lavoro come libera professionista presso diversi studi odontoiatrici nelle province di Napoli e Caserta e, dal 2022, collaboro con EMS come GBT Trainer. Credo fortemente nel protocollo GBT, ogni paziente dovrebbe poter vivere un’esperienza positiva, innovativa e confortevole. Nei miei corsi unisco conoscenze scientifiche, tecnica e passione. Ai miei colleghi cerco di trasmettere gli strumenti concreti per trasformare la teoria in pratica e la pratica in eccellenza, in un clima di autentica condivisione.

Scholl, Theresa
Scholl, Theresa
Germany, Cölbe
Theresa hat 2009 ihre Ausbildung zur ZFA abgeschlossen. Nach einigen Jahren in der Zahnärztlichen Assistenz und Abrechnung, legte sie die Weiterbildung zur ZMF ab. Seit 2012 ist Theresa als Hauptverantwortliche für den Bereich Prophylaxe in der Praxis tätig. Ihr war immer klar, dass sie noch mehr Verantwortung übernehmen und ihr Wissen im Bereich Prophylaxe und Parodontologie festigen möchte. Im Jahr 2019 begann Sie ihr Studium „Dentalhygiene und Präventionsmanagement“, welches sie im Jahr 2021 mit dem Titel „Bachelor of Science Dentalhygiene“ abschloss. Den Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere bildet die Trainertätigkeit bei der SDA. Während des Studiums kam sie mit der Guided Biofilm Therapie® in Berührung, seitdem hat sie diese in ihrem Praxisalltag vollständig integriert. Die Faszination der GBT setzt sich für sie aus mehreren Faktoren zusammen. Die Individualität durch das Anfärben erleichtert die Kommunikation mit den Patienten. Was der Patient visuell wahrnimmt, kann er besser verstehen. Hinzu kommt die Wahrnehmung der Patienten, die die GBT als deutlich angenehmer empfinden als die Prophylaxesitzungen von „früher“. Zufriedene Patienten sind der Grundstein für einen erfolgreichen Recall.

Jones, Janelle
Canada, Calgary
Janelle Jones is a registered dental hygienist with 25 years of clinical experience. Growing up in a small town, she knew from the age of six that she wanted to pursue her dream of becoming a dental hygienist. She went to the University of Alberta to complete her Diploma of Dental Hygiene in 2000. She then continued her education by completing her Bachelor of Science with a Specialization in Dental Hygiene in 2001, also at the University of Alberta. Her career has been very fulfilling, as it has allowed her to improve the lives of her patients while building trusting relationships. She has been fortunate to work alongside many excellent clinicians. Continuing her education, such as training with Kois and becoming certified in laser and GBT she has continually evolved as a practitioner. With the skills and expertise gained over the years and aways wanting to master the best that the dental industry can oMer, Guided Biofilm Therapy was just what she was looking for. This changed her career, re-igniting her passion for dental hygiene. With its modern, systematic, scientific-based approach, she can now oMer the best clinical dental hygiene therapy while also providing a comfortable experience for her patients. Because GBT has upped her game as a dental hygienist, becoming an SDA Trainer and sharing the benefits of GBT with fellow clinicians is a natural next step. She wants others to feel motivated and inspired by her experience, so their passion and commitment to dental hygiene is also re-ignited.

Höhn, Kristina
Germany, Limburg

Im Jahr 2007 begann sie ihre Ausbildung als Zahnmedizinische Fachangestellte (ZFA). Bereits während ihrer Ausbildung wurde ihr bewusst, dass sie in dieser Berufsspate eine höhere Qualifikation anstreben möchte. Nachdem Sie ihre Ausbildung im Jahr 2010 erfolgreich abgeschlossen hatte, absolvierte sie, neben ihrer Tätigkeit als ZFA ihre Fachhochschulreife über ein Abendgymnasium in zwei Jahren.

Im Oktober 2019 erlangte Sie nach zweijährigem dualem Studium (Dentalhygiene und Präventionsmanagement) mit sehr gutem Abschluss den akademischen Titel „Dentalhygienikerin Bachelor of Science“.

Neben Ihrer beruflichen Haupttätigkeit als DH B.Sc und GBT-Trainerin ist sie als externe Dozentin an der EUFH Köln für den Studiengang Dentalhygiene und Präventionsmanagement tätig.

In dem Berufsbild einer ausgebildeten Prophylaxe-Fachkraft stehen nicht nur Maßnahmen zur Behandlung von Erkrankungen des Zahnhalteapparates und der Zahnhartsubstanz im Vordergrund, sondern die Aufrechterhaltung der Mundgesundheit und allgemeinen Gesundheit durch gezielte Maßnahmen in der zahnmedizinischen Prophylaxe.

All diese wichtigen Dinge vereint das Konzept der Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) auf höchstem Stand der Wissenschaft, mit minimalinvasiven Technologien für den größtmöglichen Behandlungskomfort für Ihre Patienten und bietet die optimale Prophylaxe mit System!

Kristina Villmann ist sehr stolz als GBT-Trainerin Teil der Swiss Dental Academy zu sein und gemeinsam mit EMS Deutschland zu arbeiten.
