MIS Implants has promoted Noel Wilford, RDH, to director of the company's oral health division.
In this newly created position, Wilford will be responsible for the success of PeriZone, MIS Implants' first nonimplant brand.
The first product in the PeriZone line is PerioPatch, an oral patch designed to heal and protect oral wounds. PerioPatch promotes natural healing and provides relief from inflammation by forming a protective seal over inflamed gingiva and oral mucosa, and absorbing wound exudates and blocking additional irritants, according to the company.
Wilford has extensive experience in the dental industry. Following her graduation from the Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene and the University of Connecticut, she spent time as a hygienist in a periodontal practice. She moved into the corporate side of the business when she became a sales representative and regional trainer for CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals. She joined MIS Implants in 2007.
