SINGAPORE: The tenth International Dental Exhibition and Meeting (IDEM) successfully concluded after three days of exhibition, meetings, conference papers and insightful discussions on the latest breakthroughs in dentistry and dental care. Co-organised by Koelnmesse and the Singapore Dental Association, Asia Pacific’s cornerstone event in dentistry drew 8,571 attendees from 71 countries. The exhibition hosted 13 national pavilions and 506 exhibitors from 41 countries.

The newest innovations on display included 3-D printers, an integrated blade that minimises the risk of injury during surgery, and the latest range of intra-oral scanners. These devices are ergonomic, portable, able to provide real-time scanning with no ongoing calibration requirements and designed for patient comfort.

Among the highlights from the conference was the presentation by Dr Christopher Ho, who shared concepts of additive dentistry and went into detail on how to select the techniques and materials of choice for various clinical scenarios. Dr Sergio Piano in his paper proposed a simplified approach for minimising both the surgical impact and the treatment time. In his lecture, Dr Anthony Mak discussed restorative treatment planning and how to choose the correct preventative or restorative materials and techniques for the older dentition.

“We are proud of how IDEM has developed since its inauguration 18 years ago. The tenth edition of IDEM once again focused on integrating breakthrough technologies into dental and biomaterial sciences, as well as better care for patients. Looking ahead, we will continue to provide our audience with a world-class event that is cutting-edge and contemporary. This includes the further blending of education, trade, and networking, and full use of digital technologies to facilitate maximum interactions between exhibitors and visitors,” said Mathias Küpper, Managing Director of Koelnmesse Pte Ltd.

“IDEM provides dental professionals with the best opportunities to further their professional education and development as well as strengthen their practices and industry knowledge,” added Dr Kuan Chee Keong, Chairperson of the IDEM 2018 Committee. “We are working closely with the Koelnmesse team to deliver an even more attractive programme for dental professionals and will look for opportunities to showcase the latest technological advances as well as increase the engagement between speakers and the audience at the next edition of IDEM.”

The 11^th IDEM will take place on 24–26 April 2020 also at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre. Attendees can look forward to re-energising their business with more intensive educational sessions, interactive presentations and engaging meetings, as well as learning about new advancements in dentistry.
