SINGAPORE: The 2018 International Dental Exhibition and Meeting (IDEM) Singapore will be held from 13 to 15 April. With lectures presented by dentists, educators and researchers from around the globe, as well as presentations on contemporary clinical advancements, the tenth edition is poised to be as well received as that of previous years. Furthermore, in addition to the main conference, a number of workshops will be held.

According to the IDEM organisers, the workshops will seek to widen attendees’ understanding and knowledge on particular topics. One such workshop will be held by Dr Galip Gürel. Based in Istanbul in Turkey, Gürel runs a six-chair practice with an in-house laboratory and presents across the globe. In a preceding session of lectures on 14 April, he will take participants through the process of a personalised smile design, detailing how the concept of Visagismile can be applied to achieve harmony between the patient’s personality and the final smile.

The session will begin by detailing the importance of communication when applying a digital workflow, then move on to discussing the importance of a mock-up. Additionally, Gürel will touch on the soft tissue, implants and veneers. The lectures will also explain the differences between applying the 2-D Visagismile concept and using the 3-D REBEL program for smile design.

In the workshop on 15 April that leads on from Gürel’s lectures, participants will have the opportunity to see the importance of the mock-up by creating one of their own based on the Visagismile concept. They will perform the entire process, including digital intra-oral impression taking, creating the 3-D design in REBEL and 3-D printing in digital wax. In participating in the entire process, attendees will learn how to prepare teeth in a minimally invasive way through the aesthetic pre-evaluative temporaries.
