SINGAPORE: With a line-up of various events in addition to its exhibition and main scientific conference, the tenth International Dental Exhibition and Meeting (IDEM) Singapore will take place from 13 to 15 April 2018. Around 9,000 visitors representing at least 83 countries are expected to attend the conference and exhibition, which comprises 550 exhibitors. Hosted at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, the event will be held under the theme “Striving for clinical excellence”.

As announced by the co-organisers, German event arranger Koelnmesse and the Singapore Dental Association, the exhibition space has been increased by over 2,000 m2 to 20,000 m2. Eighty per cent of this has already been reserved by country pavilions, manufacturers and distributors from across the world, who will be showcasing the latest technologies, products and services in dentistry. The Singapore pavilion at IDEM 2018 will be the largest to date, with 34 exhibitors occupying 666 m2, a 21 per cent increase to the previous edition. New to the IDEM exhibition will be two pavilions from Australia and Poland, bringing the total number of country and regional pavilions to 14.

Furthermore, hosted buyer and personalised business-matching programmes aim to facilitate meetings between attendees and leading international manufacturers and distributors.
“IDEM continues to be the foundation exhibition and scientific conference for dentistry in the Asia Pacific region ,” said Mathias Kü pper, Managing Director of Koelnmesse. “This year, we are proud to bring delegates an even stronger programme that is dedicated to helping them achieve clinical excellence in dentistry.”

The IDEM conference programme will include an inaugural live patient demonstration on stage, as well as lectures and masterclasses presented by leading experts and world-renowned dentists. The key conference sessions will include masterclass talks by Dr Galip Gürel, founder and honorary President of the Turkish Academy of Esthetic Dentistry. He will also be holding a hands-on workshop titled “Revolution in 3D smile design: The REBEL”. Additionally, specialist prosthodontist Dr Christopher Ho will be presenting a paper titled “The additive approach to complex rehabilitation: Digital workflow meets the art and science of dentistry”. Other particularly noteworthy lectures will focus on a rational workflow in the treatment and restoration of endodontically treated teeth, periodontal treatment in the twenty-first century (from research to clinical practice), and skills and techniques for treating older patients.

In addition to the main scientific programme, attendees can take part in a number of hands-on workshops being held before, during and after IDEM. These offer the opportunity to learn the latest in dentistry and earn continuing professional education credits.

“IDEM is the best event in Southeast Asia to uncover the latest trends being discussed in dentistry. The Singapore Dental Association is proud that IDEM calls Singapore home and, taking the tenth edition to look forward, is excited to see what new innovations the leading dental exhibition and conference in the Asia Pacific will continue to bring to the region,” said Dr Lim Lii, President of the Singapore Dental Association.

The tenth IDEM will review nearly 20 years of dental history and feature a memory lane of past events, including photographs, statistics and quotes from participants covering all previous editions.
