Event 14 - 18 March, 2023
From 22 to 25 September, the 2021 International Dental Show (IDS), held six months later than usual owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, offered the dental industry and dental professionals the opportunity to experience products live and, above all, to socialise with one another in person.

There were 228 exhibitors and five additionally represented companies from Germany together with 591 exhibitors and six additionally represented companies from abroad.
