Hu-Friedy is now the exclusive U.S. and Canadian distributor of EMS Piezon power scaling technology, as well as AIR-FLOW air polishing products.

In addition to the distribution perks, Hu-Friedy says the alliance will also extend into other areas including clinical education, evidence-based research and Key Opinion Leader partnerships.
“This alliance not only adds exceptional technology to our product portfolio, but allows Hu-Friedy to change the game of prophylaxis in the U.S. and Canada,” says Ken Serota, president of Hu-Friedy.
“As the only company to offer products for hand scaling, piezo-electric power scaling and air polishing, we are now uniquely positioned to help clinicians deliver the highest level of prophylaxis care to their patients.”

“With EMS, we have a partner who shares our commitment to innovation, quality and education.”
