Create a healthier future, with you and M.I.T.
In recent years, periodontal treatment has increasingly followed the clinical framework “Treatment of Stage I-III Periodontitis: The EFP S3 Level Clinical Practice Guideline” outlined by the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP).
In response, NSK is proud to introduce M.I.T. our new initiative aligned with the global standard. Through M.I.T., NSK provides both products that support periodontal treatment and opportunities for learning and discovery related to periodontal care.
What is M.I.T.?
M.I.T. aligns with the benchmark in periodontal treatment - being anchored in the EFP S3 Level Clinical Guidelines and built around a patient-first philosophy. This modern approach empowers clinicians to deliver precise, predictable, and evidence-based care for stage I–III periodontitis.
By embracing this structured, research-driven framework, clinicians can elevate their practice, enhance patient outcomes, and align with global standards in periodontal care. This framework empowers clinicians to deliver effective, evidence-based care through three key pillars:
Thorough Patient Assessment
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of successful treatment. Clinician begin by checking their patient's risk factors (systemic, local and lifestyle factors). Conduct a full intraoral and extraoral exam/analysis. Initiate patient engagement.
Evidence-Based Treatment
Clinicians establish a diagnosis and conclude with a personalised treatment plan, based on the patient's unique case. Personalised care can be provided using NSK’s extensive portfolio of precision instruments and technologies – designed to support clinicians and patients in every stage of periodontal therapy.
Patient Empowerment
Patients are equipped with the knowledge and education to maintain their oral health independently. Through patient engagement, with the support of clinicians and NSK solutions, long-term outcomes become a shared achievement.
Step 0Screen / Assess
All patients should first undergo a comprehensive consultation and clinical examination, so that dental professionals can establish an accurate diagnosis, determine the appropriate evidence-based treatment plan, and provide patient-centred education according to the individual’s unique condition.
Diagnosis
Periodontal care is a cornerstone of oral health – essential for every patient, regardless of symptoms. Step 0: Screen / Assess applies universally, from first-time visitors to patients in long-term maintenance, ensuring that every individual receives a personalised and evidence-based treatment approach, according to their condition at the time of each treatment.

Why M.I.T.?
M.I.T. supports you and your team as the clinical decision makers as dental professionals and can facilitate a unified understanding within your clinical team for periodontital treatment because:
It is not about applying the same treatment to all patients, but rather placing importance on understanding each patient's unique situation and tailoring the appropriate approach accordingly.
"NSK has developed the M.I.T. concept to align closely with the international standards for periodontal therapy outlined in the EFP S3-level clinical practice guidelines. By mapping their devices to all four phases of periodontal care—from non-surgical and surgical interventions to maintenance therapy—while providing clinicians with flexibility of choice, NSK takes an important step toward facilitating the implementation of these standards in everyday clinical practice."
