ANNUAL WORLD DENTAL CONGRESS NEWSPAPER Friday & Saturday, 31 Aug–1 Sep 2012

Turkish Dental Association invites dental
st
professionals to 101 FDI AWDC
s decided at an FDI conference in Lisbon in 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.

tive impact on government decisions in the field of public dental oral
health.”
According to the 2010 survey
analysis published by the Turkish

Ministry of Health, 85 per cent of
young people in Turkey aged between six and 19 are affected by
dental caries. The organisation also
found that as many as 74 per cent
of those aged between 15 and 19 and

96 per cent of those between 30 and
34 are affected by periodontal disease.
In addition to benefits to oral
health, the TDB believes that organ-

With regard to the dental industry, more than 50 dental manufacturers are located in Turkey
and dental products from over
300 companies are available on
the market. 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.

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.
Virginia Chan: Being a practice
management consultant, I understand many dental clinics are looking
for a cost-effective way to market

Raising awareness of oral health in China

I

In Dalian, China, Unilever’s Zhong
Hua brand and the Chinese Stomatological Association are currently
working together with central and
local government to improve oral
health care standards in young
mothers and their children by integrating oral health into the standard
maternal and child health care system. 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

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

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.

facilitate these three areas and connect patients directly with dental
clinics with a free clinic profile.
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.
I How can dentists and dental manufacturers benefit from Compare
Clinic?

worldental daily

Virginia Chan: Our public promotion will start from October 2012.
To benefit from it, any clinic or dental
facility can visit CompareClinic.com to
receive a free basic profile, with the
option of upgrading to a premium account, which will allow them to showcase their services and engage with our
users. For manufacturers, they can contact us at enquiry@CompareClinic.com
for discussing how to become a more
integrated part of our community.
I Thank you very much for the interview.

An action document for global oral health
embers of the Vision 2020
Task Force yesterday released a new report that
discusses oral health problems and
ways to address the crisis on a
global scale for the first time. The
document, available as a download
from the FDI’s website, recommends
expanding the role of existing oral
health care professionals and access
to care, among other measures, in
order to improve oral health worldwide by 2020.

atology Dr Tao Xu. 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.

Handheld X-ray Systems

I Dr Lingzhi Kong

n a special session held yesterday, Dr Lingzhi Kong, Deputy Director-General of the PRC’s Center
for Disease Control and Prevention, discussed her country’s latest
strategies to improve oral health.

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. That is why you insist on the
NOMAD® Handheld X-ray system. No other X-ray
system offers the quality, safety and value of NOMAD.

Opinion

The surveillance of patients is a dentist’s duty
An interview with Prof. Newell Johnson, Australia

I Prof. Newell Johnson
ral cancer poses a continuing
challenge for dental practitioners worldwide. 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

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,

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.
I Thank you very much for this interview.

The next generation NOMAD Pro,
available since 2008, weighs only
2.5 kg and has a rechargeable
Li-poly battery in the handle. It
also features a full-colour LCD user
interface, preset exposure settings, and additional time-saving
features in a sleek design. 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.”

Straumann
Bone Level
Implants
I The Straumann Dental Implant
System includes the new generation Bone Level Implant which is
now available all over Asia, including China, Taiwan and Japan.
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.

ZIRCONOMER
I This new product tries to raise the
bar for restorative glass ionomers
by outperforming conventional
materials in stress bearing posterior restorations with notably
higher compressive strength (more
than 340 MPa in 24 hours), very low
creep and dimensional stability
for long-lasting performance. 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.
ZIRCONOMER is available in
a set with 12 g powder and 5 ml
liquid.

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.
By assisting dentists with selective, minimally invasive excavating, it substantially contributes to maintaining the patient’s
healthy tooth substance, they
added.

A premier global destination
Special administrative region attracts millions in capital and visitors each year
here is probably no other date
in Hong Kong’s recent history
as significant as 1 July. 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

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

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

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.

The Hong Kong Tourism Board
provides more information on city
tours, sights and events. Its main visitor centres are located at the airport
(arrivals level, Terminal 1) and at the
Peak Piazza (between The Peak Tower
and The Peak Galleria).
