This third edition of the regional clinical education series delivered a programme designed to empower dental professionals. Participants were able to connect with peers and industry leaders in an environment that was ideal for sharing experiences and broadening professional horizons. Featuring hands-on workshops and extensive networking opportunities, the event aimed to inspire and instil confidence in dental professionals by providing practical insights into the transformative power of digital dentistry. 

The programme highlights included the orthodontics workshop “With SureSmile we simplify the complex”, presented by Dr Nour Salman, an orthodontist from Spain; the dental implantology workshop “Exploring the efficacy of digital technologies in full arch reconstructions”, led by Dr Mischa Krebs, an implant dentist from Germany; and the CAD/CAM workshop titled “The digital workflow in smile makeovers and full mouth rehabilitations”, held by Dr Baraa al-Srouji, a dentist from the UAE specialising in aesthetic restorative dentistry. The sessions were moderated by Dr Doaa Taha, associate professor of fixed prosthodontics at Ain Shams University in Cairo in Egypt, and Dr Reham el-Basty, associate professor of fixed prosthodontics at Cairo University.

In the exhibition area, participants could see and experience Dentsply Sirona’s latest solutions, including the Primeprint 3D printer, Primescan Connect intra-oral scanner, DS PrimeTaper Implant System and X-Smart Pro+ endodontic motor. The company also presented a prototype of its dental-dedicated magnetic resonance imaging scanner, MAGNETOM Free.Max Dental Edition—exhibited for the first time in the UAE. Dentsply Sirona developed this technology in partnership with Siemens Healthineers and leading scientists from renowned universities in Europe and the US. 

Dr al-Srouji said: “I was proud to participate in this year’s DS World in Dubai both as an educator and as someone here to learn. The workshops really showed how far dentistry has progressed in its digital transformation.” 

Rajender Kumar, general manager of Dentsply Sirona’s business in the Middle East and North Africa region, commented: “Hosting DS World in Dubai reflects our commitment to the region and our dedication to empowering local dental professionals to push boundaries and embrace digital innovation with confidence. These events provide us with invaluable feedback to understand the needs of dental professionals in the region, enabling us to not only meet those needs, but to be a partner in designing the future of dentistry together.”
