March, the next FDI Annual World Dental Congress will take place in Turkey for the first time. In anticipation of the event, which will be hosted by the Turkish Dental Association (TDB) in Istanbul next year, TDB President Prof. Taner Yücel invited dental professionals to attend the 2013 congress at a lunch yesterday at this year’s meeting in Hong Kong. A ising the FDI congress will be a significantly positive step towards international recognition of the country. Next year’s meeting to be held in Istanbul The organisation currently represents about 22,000 Turkish dentists. It has been a member of the FDI World Dental Federation for 24 years. Since the year 1992, it has been organising dental congresses throughout Turkey, including its own national dental congress, which brings together between 2,000 and 2,500 dentists every year. Alluding to the city’s unique geography and history, the event’s theme will be “Bridging continents for global oral health”. Yücel said that he and his organisation are looking forward to bringing dentists from five continents together in the city of Istanbul for the first time. “Hosting the annual meeting in Istanbul is like winning the dental Olympics and offers similar added value. A widely publicised international event, held under the auspices of the President of the Republic of Turkey, provides an ideal opportunity to raise awareness among members of the public about the importance of oral health,” he said. “We hope that the 2013 Annual World Dental Congress will also have a posi- Its 2013 congress, held in partnership with the FDI, will take place at the Istanbul Convention and Exhibition Centre from 28 to 31 August.

The country’s dental equipment and material sector has an estimated value of US$150 million. According to the ministry, the sector’s growth rate has increased in recent years from an estimated 3 per cent in 2009 to an estimated 10 per cent in 2011. AD The first review-driven health care community in Asia CompareClinic.com presents a whole new way of connecting patients to clinics FDI 2013 Istanbul Annual World Dental Congress 28 to 31 August 2013 - Istanbul, Turkey ompare Clinic is a reviewdriven community that aims to help people connect with trusted medical specialists, both locally and overseas. Recently Dental Tribune interviewed co-founders Henrik Petersen and Virginia Chan about the concept of Compare Clinic and its benefit to the dental community. C I How does CompareClinic.com facilitate communication between patients, dentists and manufacturers using Web 2.0 technology? Henrik Petersen: Using Web 2.0 technology, Compare Clinic facilitates three-way communication between dental manufacturers, dental surgeons and patients, and helps people make informed decisions about dental and medical treatments. The ultimate goal of Compare Clinic is to connect patients with trusted dental professionals. To this end, our community also helps dental clinics reach out to more patients and build a trustworthy reputation. Medical tourism is on the rise in Asia, according to Reuters. It is esti- mated that it will reach over one million by end of this year. In the past, medical tourists came primarily from the US and Europe looking for cheaper treatment alternatives owing to high costs in their home countries or a lack of dental insurance. In recent years, affluent Asians have become the driving force behind the advanced medical centres in Korea, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and India. It is common for people to live in different places throughout their lifetime and consequently they will seek dental and medical treatment in an environment that is entirely new to them. Compare Clinic will be able to connect patients around the world to quality dental treatment.

Oral disease in young children in China is a common problem, with half of children enrolled in kindergarten showing signs of tooth decay. Recent studies have found the prevalence of caries in three-year-olds 3page 1 their clinics, and fill their appointment schedule. Three areas are important for generating new patients and maintaining excellent patient management: (a) a cost-effective and targeted channel for connecting with new and potential patients directly; (b) keeping and retaining your patients with excellent service and clinical work; (c) building your clinic’s reputation by encouraging patients to be your advocate and to refer others to your clinic. A healthy clinic should have 80 per cent retained and referral patients. By using Compare Clinic, we AD LLL partnership targets mothers with young children in Beijing to be 50.1 per cent, whilst the prevalence in five-year-olds is 73.3 per cent. (DTI/Photo Xxx) n this series of reports in Worldental Daily, FDI and Unilever have sought to highlight the achievements of their landmark Live.Learn.Laugh. partnership. The partners said that they are looking forward to reporting to delegates at FDI Istanbul 2013 on further progress around the globe and demonstrating once again the partnership’s role in achieving their joint vision of improving people’s lives through better oral health. The project aims to improve the oral health of 700 children by raising awareness of oral health problems among mothers with young children through oral health education, increasing the proportion of mothers who brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, and increasing the proportion of mothers who practise healthy feeding habits and take responsibility for the oral hygiene of their children, thus reducing the incidence of caries in young children. The project uses a dental pass to promote regular visits to the dentist and teach young mothers that oral health is as important as general health in bringing up a healthy, happy child. Please remember to visit the Live.Learn.Laugh. partnership stand to find out more about the exciting oral health-improvement projects taking place around the world.

As I have worked in the field of health care for the past 12 years, friends all over the world ask me where to go for dental or medical treatment. People may not know what the best treatment options are and which clinics can they trust. This is even more difficult as people become increasingly mobile, living and travelling around the world. Everyone wants to have a reliable source of reference, as health is of very high priority. In the past, we had to go through different forums. Now people can simply use CompareClinic.com for the information they need from three different angles. I What inspired you to start Compare Clinic? Henrik Petersen: I am foreign to Singapore and it was not easy to find out where to go for medical and dental treatment. I used to browse different web forums and research papers to look for the best treatment and identify the best service provider. There were mainly web directories of clinics but not much information of actual patient experience. Once I was sitting at Starbucks with Virginia, and we were discussing it would be nice to be able to go to one place, you can get information for the latest treatment options, from clinical aspects and patients’ peer-review, and be connected with the right clinics directly. My tech- fdi nology background and Virginia’s industry experience made it an easy choice to launch. We are launching now in Hong Kong and Singapore, and will soon be ready to expand to other countries in the Asia Pacific region.

In total, eight people have worked on the project. “Our mandate was to identify the main challenges to expanding access to oral health care at a time when it is more urgent than ever,” Xu told members of the press. “This report represents a call to action to ensure that oral health priorities receive sufficient attention and resources to combat the spread of oral disease.” Stanley Bergman, CEO of Henry Schein, a company that also participated in the drafting of the document, remarked that although accomplishing the goal of 2020 will be a huge challenge, the blueprint will set an unprecedented example for private— public partnerships in tackling health problems. According to Da Silva, oral diseases, including tooth decay, periodontal disease and oral cancer, affect large parts of populations worldwide. “We must act now if we hope to deal with the crisis by 2020,” he said.

I BS BU t手 Kong stated that treatment is still significantly lacking owing to insufficient resources and inadequate capacity in primary health care. To improve the situation, therefore, the PRC government is seeking to improve access to oral care by increasing dental care services in primary health care centres throughout the country by 2015. Efforts to improve oral health education and promotion in schools will be strengthened as well, she explained. In recent years, the ministry has increased funding for dental health care services and launched a number of oral health campaigns, like the Healthy Teeth, Happy Family healthpromotion project in 2011. The PRC has also celebrated National Teeth Day in September for the last 24 years. Kong said that a next National Oral Health Survey will probably be conducted in 2015. According to the latest evaluation, dental caries was observed to be highly prevalent in all age groups, particularly in young children and the elderly. Only between 22 and 35 per cent of people were found to be brushing their teeth at least twice a day. You are a professional who wants only the best for your patients and staff.

Worldental Daily had the opportunity to speak with congress presenter Prof. Newell Johnson from Griffith University’s School of Dentistry and Oral Health in Southport, Australia, about the disease and new methods of identification and treatment. O I Worldental Daily: Oral cancer figures seem to be increasing worldwide, despite awareness campaigns run by dental organisations like the FDI. Are we in danger of losing the battle against the disease? Prof. Newell Johnson: There is some good news. In countries that have long had the reputation of having very high rates of oral cancer, such as parts of France, India and Sri Lanka, the rates of alcohol and tobaccorelated oral cancer are indeed falling. The same is true of the US, much of Western Europe, and Australia. Here rates are falling from a lower base. In those countries or populations with traditionally very high rates, however, hundreds of thousands still die of oral cancer every year. In parts of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet republics, rates of these cancers are rising, we think, because of still high tobacco use, abuse of alcohol and a poor diet. The other piece of bad news is that the incidence of cancers of the oropharynx (as opposed to the lip and in the mouth itself ) is also increasing worldwide. I HPV has been identified as a growing risk factor for oral cancer. What part does the sexual transmission of the virus play in the development of the disease compared with more commonly known factors like smoking or drinking? Certain types of the human papillomavirus are indeed strongly associated with cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract, particularly of the tonsils and base of the tongue, rather than For the past decade, there have been extensive immunisation programmes against these particular papillomaviruses delivered to girls in many countries. These are intended to prevent cancer of the uterine cervix in the mouth itself. These are the same viruses that we know cause cancers of the uterine cervix, penis and anus. It is generally thought that sexual transmission is involved. The evidence is largely circumstantial; that is, these cancers are more likely among younger adults, and there are associations with the number of sexual partners. Fortunately—if that is an appropriate word—these cancers are more sensitive to radiotherapy, and the Dental Tribune for iPad – Your weekly news selection Our editors select the best articles and videos from around the world for you every week. Create your personal edition in your preferred language. in later life. It will be very interesting to observe, in another 20 years or so, whether this has had an impact on upper aero-digestive tract cancers too. Fortunately, we are beginning to see boys now included in the immunisation programmes in some countries. ISome forms of oral cancer have a patient survival rate of only 50 per cent. What makes it so difficult to achieve a more successful therapeutic outcome? The average survival at five years after diagnosis of oral cancer has hovered around 40 to 50 per cent for decades in most countries. In the high-volume specialised treatment centres, patients are indeed doing better, in terms of long-term survival and quality of life/minimisation of disability and side-effects. The major reasons that we are not doing even better is because so many cases are diagnosed and treated so late, and/or patients have severe co-morbidities such as diseases of the cardiovascular system or cancers at other sites. I Dentists can play a vital role in the identification of early signs of oral cancer. Is the profession sufficiently prepared for this role? Well, of course one cannot generalise. Many dentists and other members of the oral health team carry out excellent surveillance of each patient. This is indeed our duty. It might be called “opportunistic screening”. Many national dental associations, and the FDI, vigorously promote such behaviour. There are many excellent training programmes for the detection of patients and lesions at risk. This should go hand in hand with support from dentists for tobacco prevention/cessation, moderation of alcohol consumption, promotion of healthy diets and good hygiene (oral and sexual) for all their clients. On the other hand, the prevalence of potentially malignant disorders, and certainly of overt oral cancer, is low in many countries, so maintaining a high level of awareness and interest among general practitioners is difficult. Some are discouraged because cancer screening may not be a remunerable activity. In South Asia, and emigrant communities therefrom, potentially malignant oral disorders are common, and we have much activity with the professions and the public in these parts of the world. Recently, a study published in the Cancer Research journal has proposed a method of treatment by blocking a protein that 04 www.fdiworldental.org I What are your views on this research and what are other promising therapeutic approaches? There are very many biochemical/molecular pathways involved in cell division, maturation, migration and metastasis, and death within tissues. Many are targets of investigation and manipulation. Some will prove irrelevant—or at best epiphenomena. “In South Asia, and emigrant communities therefrom, potentially malignant oral disorders are common...” AD ipad.dental-tribune.com survival rates/treatment outcomes are better than for most other head and neck cancers. plays an important part in the spread and return of oral cancer. Interference with some will also affect normal tissues, especially if they represent exaggeration of pathways that are part of normal cellular controls. An attraction of this particular work is that it seeks to understand pathways critical to stem cells— those cells that provide the basis for continued cell renewal. At the moment, the observations on this pathway in human cancers have been explored in experimental animals. It is some way from human treatment trials, though there are many human studies of other putative biological treatments for oral and other cancers. In principle, this is the way forward. I There are a number of oral cancerscreening systems available on the market but their penetration is still very low. Why is this technology not yet part of dental practice? For cancers, and for potentially malignant disorders, in the mouth itself, direct visual inspection and palpation, followed by referral or biopsy, is the best approach. Adjunctive screening tests have not been demonstrated to have utility beyond this and commercialisation can be counterproductive. I You have already mentioned genetics. What role will it play in the evaluation of oral cancer in the future? Well cancer is, of course, a genetic disease. There is a small component of inherited genetic susceptibility, but nothing as important as with breast cancer, for example. There is a large component of acquired genetic abnormality, which is being gradually unravelled. So genetic testing is of increasing importance, perhaps for susceptibility, more so for early changes in the tissue during carcinogenesis, the latter perhaps detectable in saliva or blood too. However, every cancer is a unique biological event in an unique individual. Detecting the spectrum of genetic abnormalities in the individual patient, and targeting these with particular designer drugs, or gene therapy or immunotherapy is exciting: we are in the era of personalised medicine. Extensive surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have not brought the improved outcomes we so desperately need. For the afflicted, the future will be individualised biotherapies. For the world, the future must be primary prevention.

Each model is capable of taking hundreds of diagnostic-quality radiographs with a single charge. According to Aribex, the NOMAD allows the operator to remain chairside with the patient during radiography. With the handheld X-ray system, not only can the operator stay in the room, they can also reassure anxious patients (including children). This makes the device a first choice for the treatment of special needs or sedated patients. It also shortens procedure time and reduces mistakes and retakes, the company said. More than 30 independent evaluations and scientific studies have concluded the Aribex systems are both effective and safe —made possible by patented shielding on the X-ray source and the leaded acrylic backscatter shield on the collimator cone, which protects the operator from reflected radiation. “The NOMAD has forever changed the way that dental radiography is performed,” said Dr Clark Turner, Aribex founder and CEO. “With over 10,000 units now currently in use, it has become a staple in dental operatories everywhere.” ARIBEX, USA www.aribex.com TWL DENTAL Booth E13 06 www.fdiworldental.org[7] =>Unbenannt-1 Behind every successful implantologist is an Implantmed Scan the QR code with your mobile telephone for more information on Implantmed With the new Implantmed you perform implant procedures with maximum precision.

According to the company, these new implants, developed in close collaboration with internationally renowned experts and confirmed through clinical studies, combine new and innovative concepts with well-documented design elements to provide dental professionals with aesthetic flexibility. Bone Level Implants feature Straumann’s novel Bone Control Design, a concept which follows the five fundamental biological principles to optimise bone preservation and stabilising soft tissue. While the SLActive implant surface offers unparalleled implant surface osteoconductivity, the conical implant-abutment connection provides a strong and tight joint in all cases of loading. In addition, the biomechanical design of the implant and thread optimises the transmission of the chewing forces to the bone, provide high primary stability and make the basis for crestal bone preservation, Straumann said. The biological distance is respected by the horizontal distance between the microgap and the bone. Moreover, the transition of the rough to the smooth surface is optimally positioned at the level of the crestal bone to provide the maximum surface for osseointegration and soft tissue growth. The Straumann Bone Level Implant is available in three endosteal diameters and four lengths and comes with a comprehensive prosthetic portfolio. According to the company, they can be placed with the same surgical kit and procedure as the other implants in the company’s current range, thus providing even greater flexibility, broader treatment options and higher reliability.

Specially micronised zirconia fillers were included in the glass compo- nent of ZIRCONOMER with the aim to reinforce the structural integrity of the restoration and impart superior mechanical properties for the restoration of posterior load bearing areas, where amalgam is commonly used. The combination of outstanding strength, durability and sustained fluoride protection makes ZIRCONOMER suitable for the restoration of Class I and II cavities, repair of fractured amalgam, as well as in providing a strong base under amalgam and composite restorations. It can also be used for all classes of cavities where radiopacity is a required, as well as the build-up of a structural core and on root surfaces where overdentures are placed. Long-term temporary replacement for cusps, minimal intervention treatment and ART techniques are other fields of application, the company said.

VITA ZAHNFABRIK, GERMANY www.vita-zahnfabrik.com Booth G16/H19 AD Proface I W&H’s new Proface light probe is supposed to enable direct visual detection of caries in opened cavities and minimise the risk of caries recurrence. According to the Austrian company, it enables selective treatment during caries excavation based on Fluorescence Aided Caries Excavation (FACE). This method works in the way that violet light is applied to the opened cavity where porphyrins, metabolic by-products left by the bacteria in infected dentine and not visible to the human eye, fluoresce red while healthy tooth substance fluoresce green. Diagnostic goggles with special filters also enhance this effect, the company said. With Proface, dentists will also have more information in regard to treatment decisions in Caries Profunda. Access to the treatment site is optimised by the probe’s new slender design which was devel- oped to guarantees flexible and painless application. W&H said that with ProFace success of caries excavation can be assessed at a glance and at any stage of the process.

On a stormy Tuesday night back in 1997, millions of people took to the streets in unprecedented celebrations when the People’s Republic of China finally T took over control of the territory after 156 years of British rule. While the handover was considered a fresh start by many Hong Kongers, it definitely marked Britain’s final act as a colonial superpower. In the joint declaration signed with China already in 1984, however, both parties had agreed to leave the colony’s existing economic system untouched for another 50 years. Owing to this component of the Sino–British declaration, Hong Kong was able to AD become the economic powerhouse we know today. With a populace of slightly over seven million people, the former colony now produces a gross domestic product higher than those of states like Denmark and Portugal. It is also considered one of the most important international financial centres. According to global management consulting firm McKinsey, its stock exchange, already among the world’s top ten when it comes to capitalisation, attracted the most capital in the world for the second consecutive year in 2011. While the government recently had to cut growth forecasts owing to the global economic slowdown, consumption in the city remained stable owing to a sound job sector and increases in income. Similar to its economic success, the city has transformed itself into a first class travel destination, making tourism a major source of income. Boosted by attractions like Hong Kong Disneyland, which was opened in 2005, and major events like the recently held International Dragon Boat Championships, it sees 42 million visitor arrivals per year, a number currently only exceeded throughout the Asia Pacific region by Malaysia and mainland China. “These results certainly underline Hong Kong’s status as a preferred international travel destination and as Asia’s world city,” said James Tien, Chairman of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, in August. “We have already planned the launch of a series of mega events in the coming months to 4page 22 16 www.fdiworldental.org[17] =>Unbenannt-1 [18] =>Unbenannt-1 WDD0312_16_18_Travel 24.08.12 14:52 Seite 2 Friday & Saturday, 31 August–1 September 2012 Travel further enhance Hong Kong’s appeal and provide our tourist partners with different business platforms.” According to Tien, highlights this year will include the Hong Kong MidAutumn Festival, which will take place in September/October and will see a giant lantern erected at Victoria Park on Hong Kong Island, among other things. the North and countries like Taiwan, the board which operates under the HK government, already began strategising Hong Kong’s development as a tourist destination in the late 1990s. As a first step, travel restrictions within China were eased through the Individual Visit Scheme almost a decade ago. Since then, travel between mainland China and Hong Kong has skyrocketed to over 15 million visitors per year. Owing to increasing competition from Hong Kong’s greater brother in Funding for the Mega Events Fund has also recently been extended 3page 20 Tsim Sha Tsui carnival (DTI/Photo mary416 ) until 2014. The financial assistance scheme, worth hundreds of millions of HK dollars, was established in 2009 in order to give non-profit organisations the means to host their meetings and events in Hong Kong. As well as its large share of Chinese visitors, the city attracts millions of visitors from around the globe, of which many have decided to stay. Therefore, the city’s cultural and culinary scene is as diverse as in any other major city in the world. With two 3-star and seven 2-star restaurants, Hong AD A variety of dim sum in bamboo steam. (DTI/Photo Sutsaiy Sangharn) Kong now offers greater culinary excellence than London or San Francisco. Just last month, two Michelinstarred French-Italian chef Philippe Leveille announced the opening of a new Italian restaurant called l’Altro in the Central District. Hong Kong is also the third largest art market after the US and China, drawing thousands of visitors to its International Art Fair held every year in May. Despite its receptiveness to foreign influences, however, the city has never forgotten its Chinese roots, which will become important in 2047, when Hong Kong’s guaranteed autonomy expires. Although relations with the motherland are close, observers are questioning whether the city, which is largely dependent on trade, can maintain its economic vitality over the next 30 years alongside a prospering China. Until then, at least Hong Kong is likely to remain Asia’s premier global destination. Flag of People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong Special Administrative region.
