Mein Studium zur dipl. Dentalhygienikerin HF in Zürich, welches ich 2017 abgeschlossen habe, hat mir gezeigt, wie bedeutend wissenschaftliches Arbeiten in der Zahnmedizin ist. Daher kommt auch mein Interesse evidenzbasiert zu arbeiten, Dinge zu hinterfragen und immer breit zu sein neue Wege zu gehen. Die GBT vereint all das, wonach ich immer gesucht habe. Ich erlebe täglich im Praxisalltag, wie viel orale Prävention bei Patienten wirklich bewirken kann. Daran stetig weiterzuarbeiten und gleichzeitig an diesem Erfolgen beteiligt zu sein ist ein großartiges Gefühl und treibt mich an.

Mi sono laureata con Lode in Igiene Dentale presso l'Università di Genova e ho conseguito due Master: Odontoiatria Pediatrica con Lode all'Università di Torino e Management e Coordinamento delle Professioni Sanitarie all'Università di Genova.
Ho seguito il Corso di perfezionamento in Laser e Nuove Tecnologie nel distretto facciale all'Università di Genova, il Corso di parodontologia SIdP a Firenze e dal 2012 e opero come consulente presso lo studio Gian Vittorio Bassi nelle sedi di Genova e Masone.

Binta Visser ist eine engagierte und erfahrene Fachkraft im Bereich der Zahnmedizin, die seit 2020 die SDA mit ihrem fundierten Wissen und ihren Fähigkeiten unterstützt. Ihre Reise in die Welt der Zahnmedizin begann 2011, als sie während ihrer Ausbildung zur Zahnmedizinischen Fachangestellten (ZFA) einen Kurs der SDA besuchte. Begeistert von den neuen Erkenntnissen und dem erlangten Wissen entschied sie sich, ebenfalls für die SDA tätig zu werden.

Nach dem Abschluss ihrer Ausbildung zur ZFA erweiterte Binta ihre Qualifikationen durch eine Weiterbildung zur Zahnmedizinischen Prophylaxeassistentin (ZMP) und absolvierte anschließend den Bachelor-Studiengang in Dentalhygiene und Präventionsmanagement. Ihre umfassende Ausbildung und ihr Engagement für die Zahnmedizin machen sie zu einer wertvollen Ressource für Praxiskurse.

Binta hat in mehreren Zahnarztpraxen mit unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkten, darunter Kinderzahnheilkunde, Ästhetik und Oralchirurgie, gearbeitet. Diese vielfältige Erfahrung ermöglicht es ihr, die Praxiskurse besonders kompetent zu betreuen und auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Teilnehmer einzugehen.

Ein besonderes Augenmerk legt Binta auf die Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), die nicht nur evidenzbasiert und minimalinvasiv ist, sondern auch ein maximal präventives Behandlungskonzept ist. Diese Methode sorgt nicht nur für eine angenehmere Behandlung für die Patienten, sondern erleichtert auch den Behandlern die Arbeit, macht sie effektiver und bringt viel Freude mit sich.

Binta Visser ist leidenschaftlich daran interessiert, das Wissen und die Fähigkeiten von Zahnmedizinern zu erweitern und ihnen zu helfen, ihre Praxen auf ein neues Level zu heben. Kontaktieren Sie uns, um mehr über die Möglichkeiten zu erfahren, die Binta Ihnen und Ihrer Praxis bieten kann.
