Mi nombre es Erik Regidor y soy licenciado en Odontología y especialista en Periodoncia e Implantes por la Universidad del País Vasco. Desde entonces me dedico en exclusiva a Periodoncia e Implantes en PerioCentrum Bilbao. Adicionalmente participo en proyectos de investigación relacionados con mi campo dado que formo parte de los grupos de investigación Arrow Development y ThinkingPerio Research. Fruto de ello estoy actualmente realizando mi doctorado enfocado en el tratamiento quirúrgico de la peri-implantitis. Esto me ha llevado a participar en publicaciones científicas a nivel nacional e internacional dándome la oportunidad desde hace unos años a impartir cursos de formación. Entre otros, soy Trainer de EMS desde el año 2020 y tengo el honor de participar en proyectos de formación tanto para odontólogos como para higienistas.

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.
