WORLD DENTAL CONGRESS NEWSPAPER · Sydney · 24–27 September 2023
FDI World Dental Congress makes remarkable return
© TK Taras Vyshnya/Shutterstock.com
| Global dental community meets down under in person after four-year hiatus
T
he World Dental Congress is the
flagship continuing education
event of FDI and a unique opportunity for dental professionals to
strengthen ties and foster collaboration
within the global oral health community. After four years, the congress has
returned to a face-to-face format and
is the first in-person World Dental
Congress since the one that took place
in San Francisco in the US in 2019.
The event last took place in Sydney, the
largest city in Australia, in 2003.
The 2023 congress has been organised jointly with the Australian
Dental Association (ADA). “The ADA
and FDI World Dental Federation have
worked collaboratively over a journey
spanning years of global disruption to
bring the dental community this landmark World Dental Congress, the first
one held face to face since 2019,” said
ADA Federal President Dr Stephen
Liew [read the full interview on page 4].
“We were well into our preparations
for the 2021 congress when the global
pandemic hit and had to make many
tough decisions to delay the in-person
event, pivoting to utilise our assets in
virtual form. It was a difficult journey,
albeit we were incredibly happy with
the virtual congress we held for the
world in 2021,” Dr Liew remembered.
At the International Convention
Centre in the heart of the harbour city,
the 2023 congress brings the global
dental community together to share
ideas, knowledge and experiences.
FDI and ADA have compiled a cuttingedge scientific programme that features
more than 220 sessions. Attendees have
the opportunity to meet with and learn
from leaders in the oral health profession
from Australia and around the globe.
congress days and is an excellent opportunity for attendees to explore the
latest advances in dental technology
and connect with industry leaders and
experts [see the exhibition floor plan on
pages 28 and 29].
Attendees can also enjoy the exhibition component of the congress,
which features over 150 exhibitors
showcasing the latest products and
services in the dental industry. The
exhibition is open to visitors on all four
The rich programme is being
complemented by various networking opportunities and social events.
Looking forward to this year’s event,

Stronger together
| KaVo and Planmeca join forces for new dental imaging workflows
I
n 2022, the KaVo treatment unit
and instrument business was
acquired by Planmeca, one of the
largest privately owned manufacturers in the dental field. At the 2023 FDI
World Dental Congress, KaVo is presenting the new KaVo ProXam imaging product series as the first major
expansion of its portfolio that leverages on the synergies that arose
from the merger of the two industry
giants. In a joint interview, Heikki
Kyöstilä, founder, owner and president of Planmeca Group, and Jan
Moed, KaVo’s new chief commercial
officer, talk about how clinicians and
technicians can benefit from the
wealth of expertise and future-proof
workflows of the companies.
between our two companies will
benefit our products and will take
the future of dentistry to a whole
new level.
Mr Kyöstilä, “stronger together” is
Planmeca’s and KaVo’s motto. What
does it mean to you personally?
Planmeca and KaVo are two incredibly strong brands with histories
that have shaped dental care and its
technologies for several generations
and will continue to do so in future.
We are proud of what we have accomplished so far and are very confident that the newfound partnership
This proven portfolio is now
rounded out by Planmeca’s expertise
and experience, especially in terms
of digital workflows, giving KaVo
the unique opportunity to integrate X-ray, scanning, software and
CAD/CAM applications.
Mr Moed, you have already taken
the first step in this direction with
the new KaVo imaging portfolio,
ProXam. What exactly does this
mean for KaVo?
The KaVo brand stands for dental
excellence in the global dental market. In other words, for high-quality
products, good service, ergonomics,
high-quality design and well-thoughtout solutions in the fields of instruments,
treatment units and equipment for
dental laboratories, dental practices
and universities.
Together, KaVo and Planmeca can
rely on tried-and-tested, high-quality
solutions, further develop our product
ranges and offerings, and build KaVo
into a complete solution provider in
future.
Could you explain in a little more
detail what sets the new KaVo imaging portfolio apart from the older
products?
Above all, KaVo’s new ProXam
imaging product line offers outstanding image quality at a very low
patient dose, versatile functions and
enhanced ergonomics. In addition,
the newly designed KaVo imaging
portfolio paves the way for the
Romexis all-in-one imaging ecosystem
for KaVo customers. By customers
incorporating Romexis, their workflows can be simplified.
Mr Kyöstilä, could you please describe
what makes Romexis the gold standard of radiographic software?
With the all-in-one Romexis software platform, all systems or devices
can be linked together. This means
that all data can be collected,
viewed and processed in one system, making collaboration faster and
more flexible. There are also options
for real-time monitoring.
| Jan Moed (left), chief commercial officer at KaVo, who is responsible for
the company’s global marketing and sales, and Heikki Kyöstilä, founder,
owner and president of Planmeca Group.
During the development of
Romexis, the key focus was on excellent user friendliness and intuitive
handling as well as sufficient flexibility. To ensure that it is always
compatible and that the respective
practice management software can
be connected easily, the Romexis
architecture has an open design and
supports the macOS and Windows
operating systems.
Mr Moed, networking and digitalisation will certainly play a decisive
role in the future, but services remain
an important aspect too. How
has KaVo prepared for providing
services?
KaVo is a renowned manufacturer
with a comprehensive range of services and is therefore well prepared
for this task. For example, with treatment units, we have placed great
emphasis on service quality for many
years and are a strong and reliable
partner for our specialist retailers.
Also, our experience with X-ray units
has taught us what to look out for.

news
Mr Kyöstilä, what does this mean
for dental professionals and their
patients?
Workflows in practices are becoming more and more integrated
and therefore smoother and faster.
Treatment planning is also being
optimised, and the treatment results
will therefore be not just better but
also more predictable. I think that, in
future, we will see a steady improvement in patient care and safety,
which is naturally expected of us as
a premium manufacturer. Together,
KaVo and Planmeca are ideally positioned for this and look forward to more
exciting projects and developments
that will help to improve modern
dentistry in many different ways.

| Sydney is especially known for its iconic harbour, which has a shoreline of more than 240 km.
“The WDC is the ultimate manifestation
of key professional ideals”
| An interview with Dr Stephen Liew, president of the Australian Dental Association.
By Iveta Ramonaite, Dental Tribune International
© Australian Dental Association
Dr Liew, it has been four years since
the last in-person World Dental
Congress. How excited are you about
the congress, and what are you
personally looking forward to at this
year’s event?
In this period of social reconnection,
it is a great honour and exhilarating
to prepare to welcome thousands of
delegates from Australia and across
the world to our renowned harbour
city of Sydney as the ADA federal
president.
| According to Australian Dental
Association President Dr Stephen
Liew, the 2023 FDI World Dental
Congress will offer evidence-based
learning opportunities in a collegial
atmosphere.
T
he countdown is finally over.
Four years after its last in-person
event, the FDI World Dental
Congress is making a return. This year,
the congress will be hosted in Sydney
in Australia and promises a well-crafted
scientific programme and abundant
opportunity for social interaction.
Dental Tribune International spoke with
Dr Stephen Liew, president of the Australian Dental Association (ADA), which
is hosting the event, about the growing
excitement in the run-up to the congress
and discussed the enormous amount of
work that has gone into the planning
and execution of the congress—all to
expand the knowledge and skills of
dental professionals worldwide.

As the global dental profession,
we provide vital oral healthcare to improve the quality of life of the global
population. To do this effectively,
we first must keep our knowledge at
the forefront of clinical excellence via
evidence-based learning. Secondly, our
enjoyment of practising our unique
skill set is enhanced by the warmth
of collegial shared purpose, which
crosses all borders.
The World Dental Congress is the
ultimate manifestation of key professional ideals, and I cannot wait to
share our efforts with all attendees,
overlooking the world-famous Sydney
Harbour and iconic sights.
It takes a tremendous amount of
work and dedication to organise an
event of such scale. Could you tell us
a bit about the ADA’s contributions to
bringing the congress to Sydney?
The ADA and FDI World Dental
Federation have worked collaboratively
over a journey spanning years of
global disruption to bring the dental community this landmark World
Dental Congress, the first one held face
to face since 2019. We were well into
our preparations for the 2021 congress
when the global pandemic hit and had

delay the in-person event, pivoting
to utilise our assets in virtual form.
It was a difficult journey, albeit we
were incredibly happy with the virtual

An event of this scale relies on
many entities, including FDI and the
ADA, as well as the support of local
government and international key
industry partners. We must thank

We would like to sincerely thank the
ADA’s scientific committee, led by
Dr Hugo Sachs and ADA Deputy CEO
Eithne Irving, and the FDI Education

“There is so much opportunity to improve the quality
of life of patients with head and neck tumours”
| An interview with Prof. Jonathan Clark, head and neck cancer expert
By Iveta Ramonaite, Dental Tribune International
major impact on the effectiveness of
treatments. There are also new treatments, such as robotic surgery, highly
precise radiotherapy techniques and
new drugs, available. We are now
entering the age of immunotherapy,
which has transformed previously
incurable skin cancers into curable
malignancies. In the future, we will see
the effect of human papillomavirus
vaccination. Australia has been very
progressive in this regard, but it will
probably be another 15 years before
we see the rate of oropharyngeal cancer
decline as a result of vaccination.
| Prof. Jonathan Clark is a leading researcher and surgeon in head and
neck cancer and advanced reconstruction.
Prof. Clark, how did you become interested in head and neck cancer?
I was fortunate to work with the
late Prof. Chris O’Brien, who sadly died
of a malignant brain tumour. He was a
world leader in head and neck cancer
surgery and an inspiration for many
surgeons of my generation. During
my fellowship, I travelled to Toronto,
where I learnt about microvascular
reconstruction. This has transformed
the way that head and neck cancer
surgery is performed by restoring
form and function in patients undergoing radical surgery. I have focused
on reconstructive surgery because it
is at the cutting edge of surgery and
integrates many aspects of surgery
that I enjoy, particularly because
there is so much opportunity to improve the quality of life of patients
with head and neck tumours.
What significant changes in head
and neck cancer research and treatment have you seen throughout
your career?
There have been major changes
in the demographics of those who
develop head and neck cancer.
Traditionally, head and neck cancer
was mostly caused by smoking in
patients of low socio-economic status,
6
but now the most common head
and neck cancers are not related to
smoking. For example, oropharyngeal
cancer is caused by the human papillomavirus and cutaneous squamous
cell cancer by exposure to ultraviolet
light, and oral cancer is rising in
incidence in young non-smokers,
although we cannot explain this trend.
Australia has had very effective antismoking policies, which we should be
grateful for.
Cancer outcomes are improving
gradually. There are a variety of reasons for this. In part, this is because
cancers not caused by smoking have
a better prognosis, but head and neck
cancer treatment has been a leader
in multidisciplinary care. This has
enabled patients to reliably complete
quite taxing and difficult treatments.
We often under-estimate how important it is to do the basics well.
There continues to be significant
unwarranted variation in how treatments are delivered, and this has a

ead and neck cancer may
have drastic, long-lasting consequences, and dental professionals can play a crucial role in
the patient’s treatment plan. Dental
Tribune International had the opportunity to speak with Prof. Jonathan
Clark, director of head and neck research at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse cancer treatment centre in Sydney in Australia and a leading name in head and
neck cancer reconstructive surgery,
about his career choice, recent developments in research, diagnosis and
treatment of head and neck cancers,
and the physical and mental challenges of his work.
www.world-dental-congress.org
Research is much more sophisticated in many ways, but we are only
just starting to understand the molecular basis of head and neck cancer.
It is extremely diverse—there are ten
different head and neck cancer sites
and multiple types at each site—so
we have struggled to find drug cures
and targets. This has been frustrating
compared with, say, breast cancer,
leukaemia and melanoma, for which
How has the awareness of head and
neck cancer changed over time?
I do not think that awareness is
very high. Most people think that
head and neck cancer is brain cancer
or that it has something to do with
the spine. We have failed to advocate
effectively or to have high-profile
champions. There is no Movember or
pink ribbon for head and neck cancer.
Most head and neck cancers, individually, are uncommon, but as a group,
it is the sixth most common cancer.
If skin cancer is included, it is the
most common, so it depends on what
you consider head and neck cancer.
In Australia, we treat a lot of skin cancer,
so we tend to include it in the term
even though most skin cancer lesions
are small in extent and are managed
by general medical practitioners (GPs),
dermatologists and plastic surgeons.
Owing to these factors, it is challenging to get a consistent message out in
the community. Our main focus is oral
cancer, and most people understand
what that is.
Screening is challenging. Each
head and neck cancer is different, so
there is never going to be a simple
screening test like mammography,
a prostate-specific antigen test or
faecal occult blood test. We might
have a blood test for oropharyngeal
cancer that could be used for screening in the future. In the meantime,
the education of patients, GPs and
dentists will have the greatest impact.
There are very simple messages that
we can get out into the community—
things like:
• A mouth ulcer that has remained
unhealed for over four weeks needs
referral.
• An ill-fitting denture or loose teeth
require an examination to exclude
gingival cancer.
• A neck lump present for over
four weeks in an adult should be
considered malignant until proved
otherwise.
• A progressive facial palsy is not
Bell’s palsy.
“We often under-estimate how
important it is to do the basics well.”
chemotherapy and targeted therapies
have dramatically improved survival
rates. The reasons are multifactorial,
but partly because the diversity
spreads resources thin, the genetic
changes present are not well suited
to targeted therapies. Also, typically,
head and neck cancer research has
been vastly underfunded compared
with research into breast cancer and
prostate cancer.
It has been historically difficult to
diagnose head and neck cancer early.
What are some obstacles to early
detection, and how can screening
for this group of cancers be improved?
Most head and neck cancers do
not cause symptoms until the cancer
is advanced. One of the most common signs is a painless neck lump,
which means the cancer has already
spread to the lymph nodes. Some
early cancers do cause symptoms.
For example, small laryngeal cancer
lesions may cause a hoarse voice, but
they are difficult to see. It is also very
difficult for GPs and dentists to detect
throat cancer and many other head
and neck cancers.
Oral cancer is different. It is often
quite easy to see with a headlight,
though most GPs do not own one and
probably do not see enough cases to
recognise what is concerning or not.
Even dentists do not detect many oral
cancer cases, so they can easily be
missed. Traditionally, the higher prevalence in low socio-economic groups
has meant that patients often do not
see their GP unless they are really sick,
and they are certainly not going
to pay for a routine dental check.
However, as the demographics change,
this is becoming less of an issue.
• A hoarse voice in a smoker needs to
be referred for a nasendoscopy.
• Ear pain without an explanation
could be throat cancer.
In your opinion, what is the most
challenging part of treating patients
with head and neck cancer?
We do major surgery which often
exceeds 10 hours, sometimes in
elderly patients with multiple comorbidities, in whom complications can
be catastrophic. I also do a lot of
reconstructive surgery and spend
a large amount of time trying to
improve the function and aesthetics
of patients who have had large
portions of their tongue, jaw or face
removed. I very frequently see patients
with problems, whereas patients
who are doing well do not need
the same intense follow-up. This can
be disheartening. Needless to say,
it is much worse for the patients
who have to live with these problems
than it is for the clinician, but it is still
difficult work.
Editorial note: Prof. Johnathan Clark is one
of the speakers at the symposium, titled
“Oral cancer—diagnosis, treatment and
recovery”, which will be held on 26 September
from 10:45 to 12:30.

“I look forward to four days of learning, meeting
colleagues and planning future collaborations”
| Prof. Purnima Kumar shares insights into her upcoming presentations at the World Dental Congress
By Iveta Ramonaite, Dental Tribune International
Michigan School of Dentistry in Ann Arbor
in the US. In this interview with
Dental Tribune International, she talks
about her participation in this year’s
FDI World Dental Congress, some of
the topics she will be exploring in her
presentations and her recent research
endeavours.

D
r Purnima Kumar is William K.
and Mary Anne Najjar endowed
professor of dentistry and chair
of the Department of Periodontics and
Oral Medicine at the University of
Prof. Kumar, you are one of the most
sought-after presenters at this year’s
World Dental Congress. What are your
expectations for the event?
I look forward to four days of learning,
meeting colleagues and planning
future collaborations. To be asked to
speak at so many sessions at a meeting with such an impressive speaker
line-up is truly humbling. I feel deeply
honoured. It is my first visit to the land
down under, and I look forward to the
entire trip!
What topics will you be discussing
in your presentations?
I will be talking about various
topics, including how intricately oral
health and overall health are inter-
woven with the detrimental effects
of vaping and the serious threat of
antibiotic resistance.
Antibiotic stewardship continues
to be a global public health concern,
and various studies have shown that
dental professionals often unnecessarily prescribe antibiotics to patients.
What is the current situation regarding
antimicrobial resistance in dentistry?
Have you noticed a shift in dental professionals’ awareness of the topic?
We are learning more about how
we, as a profession, have contributed
to antibiotic resistance, but progress is
still needed. For example, my patients
ask me every day to recommend a
good mouthwash. There is so much
hype surrounding these products that
we forget that they are antimicrobial
and that using them continually can
negatively affect our oral microbiome
and therefore our overall health.
Tobacco use has a profound impact
on oral health. What recent efforts
have been made to promote tobacco
use cessation in dentistry?
I am the chair of the American
Dental Association Council on Scientific
Affairs, and we have recently conducted
a survey of our expert panel of dentists
on their attitudes and practices towards smoking cessation counselling.
We have learned that most dentists
wish that they had access to more
resources to recommend to their patients and more training to have these
difficult conversations. Smoking is a
preventable cause of disease, and we
need to equip our dental students
with more knowledge on how to help
their patients through counselling and
other intervention.
medicine have proved beyond doubt
that personalised, patient-centred care is
the only way to cure and control dental
disease.
You have made tremendous contributions to dental research and education. What would you like dental
professionals to take away from your
presentations at the congress?
I am privileged to be speaking to
such a large global audience on a
diverse array of topics, all of which
stem from my research. Advances in
Editorial note: Dr Purnima Kumar’s lecture,
titled “Cloudy with a chance of disease:
how smoking, vaping and waterpipes increase the risk for oral diseases”, takes place on
26 September at 11:45. She is also speaker
at the symposium, titled “Vaping—universal
panacea for ceasing tobacco use or disaster”,
which will be held on 27 September from
8:00 to 9:45.
The basis of delivering personalised care is an understanding that
variations in human genetics and behaviour can lead to differing patterns
of disease presentations and varying
susceptibilities to disease. This realisation drives my research, and we are
teasing out the interactions between
our genetics, environment, behaviour
and lifestyle that govern health and
cause disease. This allows me to take my
research findings directly into my operatory for improved patient care.
“Proper resources and evidence-based practices are
crucial for providing high-quality dental care”
| An interview with Dr Shiamaa Shihab Ahmed al-Mashhadani on partially dentate patients
By Iveta Ramonaite, Dental Tribune International
O
ver the last five years, FDI has
been developing resources to
assist dental professionals in
the planning and delivery of care for
partially dentate patients. At the 2023
FDI World Dental Congress, Dr Shiamaa
Shihab Ahmed al-Mashhadani, who
has been closely involved in the
development and implementation of
several projects related to improving
the oral health of partially dentate patients, will hold a session on the topic.
During the session, she will present a
valuable assessment tool developed
by FDI that will help patients understand their treatment options and will
assist dentists in better understanding
their patients’ health status and needs.
Dr al-Mashhadani, the number of
partially dentate patients is on the
rise. How does this trend affect
dentistry?
The increase in partially dentate
patients is having a significant impact
on dental care, and different facets of
oral healthcare, treatment options and
dental practice are being affected.
Dental practitioners must offer a variety
of treatment choices for replacing
missing teeth. These choices include

overcome these hurdles.

that oral health is not interlinked with overall health is

In March 2023, you participated in
a round-table discussion organised
by FDI on the barriers to and opportunities of integrating oral healthcare into primary healthcare. Could
you talk us through some of the
main takeaways of the discussion?
One of the main things that struck
me in our discussions was that, although we had a very diverse group
from countries with different oral
health systems, the challenges and
some of the potential solutions were
quite uniform for us all, although with
some local contexts and nuances.
The second point that came through
strongly was that we have a real window of opportunity because both the
concept of universal health coverage
and the profile of oral health are high
on the international and national
policy agendas. Finally, it was clear
that the issues and solutions are
complex and multifaceted, including
both the oral health and wider workforce, the role of the private sector, the
information we collect and hold, the
way services are delivered, the financing of oral health services and the
priority of oral health in policy and financial agendas. However, we heard
about many great examples where
these issues had been dealt with, leading
to positive improvements for patients
in access and their oral health.

for non-oral health professionals.
We also need to ensure that we learn
from existing examples of integration
of oral healthcare into wider primary
healthcare, to investigate how to best
reward dental teams to incentivise
the best care and to set up co-payment
systems for patients that minimise
barriers to access.
As a result of the round-table discussion, FDI released an advocacy
white paper that includes a practical
guide on steps that need to be taken
to expand access to oral care worldwide. What are some of these steps?
The first steps include better advocacy at all levels for the importance
of oral health and access to primary
oral healthcare. FDI has prepared an
advocacy toolkit to help with this,
and I will be chairing an Alliance for
a Cavity-Free Future session on the
topic at the 2023 FDI World Dental
Congress.
What are some of the barriers to
integrating oral healthcare into
universal healthcare?
The key barrier is that, historically,
oral health has been separated from
the rest of health. This is evident
in the way we train healthcare professionals, how dental services are
financed, where dental services are
provided and how patients access
oral health services. This means that
there are barriers at multiple levels in
terms of national policy and regional
implementation and at individual
patient and healthcare professional
level. Overcoming these barriers is
not impossible, but does require
action and advocacy at multiple levels
and with many stakeholders.
Beyond this, we need to share
good practice in terms of innovative
workforce solutions, including inter-
You will be moderating the World
Oral Health Forum at the FDI congress. What can attendees expect
from the session?
I am really excited to be chairing
this busy session. The forum will take
the topic of universal oral health
coverage that we discussed at the
round table and look at some really
practical examples of good practice
from around the world, including
Thailand, Jamaica, India and Australia.
We will also look at how the latest
developments at the World Health
Organization and the action plan
for oral health can be leveraged at
national level to make real progress
on oral health. I think it will be a
session focused on action, which is
absolutely what we need now!

“Maintaining good dental and oral health is crucial
for lifelong quality of life”
| Dr Kakuhiro Fukai discusses the oral health challenges of an ageing population
By Iveta Ramonaite, Dental Tribune International
needed for daily functioning, increasing vulnerability to disease.
In the oral cavity, the loss of teeth,
a decline in chewing ability and
swallowing function, and a reduction in saliva production also often
occur. The systemic health effects
and oral health effects of ageing
also have a reciprocal relationship,
affecting each other in a vicious
cycle. This is particularly observable
when it comes to chewing function, malnutrition and sarcopenia.
Another good example is oral
health-related quality of life and
reduced social participation.
| Dr Kakuhiro Fukai’s research activities have focused on global
oral health, the link between oral
and systemic health and healthy
longevity. He has published over
300 research articles and 50 books
on oral health promotion.
A
s the elderly population
continues to grow exponentially, it is now more
important than ever to address
certain challenges related to the
oral and overall health of older
adults to ensure healthy longevity.
In this interview, Dental Tribune
International speaks with Dr Kakuhiro
Fukai, director of the Fukai Institute
of Health Science in Japan and
chair of FDI’s Oral Health for an
Ageing Population (OHAP) task
team. Drawing on his decades-long
experience of global oral health,
Dr Fukai discussed some pressing
issues related to the oral healthcare needs of older adults and
shared some wisdom on how to
best address them.
Dr Fukai, how does ageing affect
oral health, and how can maintaining good oral hygiene improve the oral and overall health
of older adults?
Ageing leads to a decline in
the physical and mental functions
Maintaining good oral health is
crucial for lifelong quality of life,
and it has been shown to contribute to the prevention of
non-communicable diseases, cognitive decline and frailty. Research
also shows that oral healthcare
maintenance helps to prevent
dental caries, periodontal disease,
tooth loss and a decline in oral
function, thereby contributing to
healthy longevity.
What role do dental professionals
play in managing the oral healthcare needs of an ageing population?
Dental professionals contribute
not only to oral health maintenance but also to the prevention of
non-communicable diseases and
frailty as well as the promotion of
social participation. They do so by
delivering quality preventive care,
including education, and dental
treatment via the life course approach, that is, by preventing and
controlling caries, periodontal disease, tooth loss and a decline in
oral function. It is also crucial that
dental professionals work on improving the early detection of oral
cancer in an ageing population.
Owing to the complex interrelatedness of oral and systemic health,
dental professionals should work
in close cooperation with a variety
of other healthcare professionals.
When assessing, diagnosing
and treating older adult patients,
“Ageing leads to a decline in the physical
and mental functions needed
for daily functioning, increasing
vulnerability to disease.”
dental professionals first need to
be aware of patients’ multimorbidity and medication regimens.
They must assess the physical
and mental status of patients, for
example robust, frail or dependent, and then proceed to the
objective assessment of gradual
changes in oral function owing to
ageing.
To detect oral function decline
as early as possible, it is not enough
to perform these assessments in
the isolated context of outpatient
dental services. Regional community healthcare networks need to
establish collaborative assessment
and/or information-sharing systems that integrate the efforts of
dental clinics, nursing homes and
perhaps even families and companies.
In 2015, FDI launched the OHAP
project to strengthen the role of
the oral health community in
achieving healthy longevity for
patients. What are the overarching goals of the initiative,
and how has it helped spread
awareness of the topic?
The Japan Dental Association
and the World Health Organization
organised the 2015 World Congress,
during which the Tokyo Declaration was issued. This declaration
emphasised that lifelong oral
health is a fundamental human
right, called for the inclusion of oral
healthcare in all healthcare policies and recognised the essential
role of oral healthcare in maintaining quality of life.
Based on the Tokyo Declaration, FDI established the OHAP
project to raise the awareness of
national dental associations of oral
healthcare for an ageing population, to assess national or regional
oral healthcare policies and share
that information globally, to identify solutions and to address these
issues at the global and national
level. Season I (2016–2019) of the
OHAP project produced a guide
for managing the dental treatment of older adults, an oral
healthcare pathway for older people and a road map for healthy
ageing, all of which are on FDI’s
website.
Building on the resources produced during Season I, Season II
(2021–2023) of the OHAP project
seeks to further promote clinical and community initiatives to
achieve optimal oral health in
older adults. The focus of Season II
is on clinical issues such as oral
functional decline. Season II aims
to promote widespread dissemination and use of the Season I
resources and to adapt them for use
in different settings and groups, to
promote awareness of the role of
oral function in elderly oral health
and to provide practical tools for
patients and oral health professionals to prevent functional decline. To achieve these objectives,
the OHAP team has surveyed na-

tional dental associations, published supplementary issues of
the International Dental Journal,
organised symposia at World
Dental Congresses and held various webinars.
What resources are available to
help guide dental professionals
in their journey to better address
the oral health-related challenges
of older dental patients?
One of the products of OHAP
Season I was the Managing Older
Adults: Chairside Guide. This document provides a wealth of prevention-oriented advice for dental
professionals according to each
patient’s level of dependency. In
OHAP Season II, the guide has
been further revised, made more
user-friendly for dentists and developed as a web app. In addition
to the level of dependency, the
guide now includes oral frailty as
a preliminary assessment for older
patients.
Validated scales were used for
these assessments. Additionally,
clear and concise infographics are
provided for patients and caregivers based on these assessments.
These tools increase dentists’ basic
knowledge of and competence
in dealing with older people.
We also believe that they will enable
interactive and shared decisionmaking between dentists and
older patients, ensuring a more
people-centred and functionfocused approach.
Specific details will be presented at a symposium organised by OHAP at the 2023 FDI
World Dental Congress, which
I cordially invite those interested
to attend.
Editorial note: The symposium, titled
“Oral health for an ageing population”,
will be held on 25 September from

Dental Check-up podcast: Explore the latest insights
in oral health-related matters
© JuShoot/Shutterstock.com
| As the global voice of the dental profession, representing more than one million dentists worldwide,
FDI puts the spotlight on topical issues in oral health in its flagship podcast, Dental Check-up. The podcast offers miniseries and single
episodes on hot topics in oral health during which prominent experts engage in conversations and debates.
Mental health in the
dental workplace
This three-part series focuses on
mental health in the dental workplace
and is hosted by Prof. Tim Newton,
who has worked as a psychologist in
dentistry for over 30 years. Dentistry
is undoubtedly one of the most
demanding and challenging professions. Stress, anxiety and burn-out
are serious issues that affect oral
health professionals and dental teams
all around the world.
This important issue is brought
to light through candid discussions
with oral health professionals, who
share their personal experiences, as
well as through conversations with
experts who highlight how to manage and improve mental health and
well-being.
Antimicrobial resistance:
Why should I care?
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is
recognised as one of the greatest
threats to global health by the World
Health Organization (WHO) and is
expected to be responsible for ten
million deaths each year by 2050. This
issue is of particular concern to dental
teams, as dentists issue around 10% of
all antibiotic prescriptions for humans.
The podcast episode on AMR features Dr Pramod Subbaraman, a general dentist from the UK with a passion
for emergency dental care and therefore a vast knowledge of antibiotic
use in dental settings, and Dr Wendy
Thompson, a general dental practitioner
and academic at the University of
Manchester in the UK whose research
interests are antimicrobial stewardship
and urgent dental care.
Let’s celebrate World Oral Health Day
WOHD 2023 marks the final year
of the three-year Be Proud of Your
Mouth campaign, an empowering call
to action urging people to value and
take care of their oral health. This year’s
campaign focused on emphasising the
importance of caring for one’s mouth
at every stage of life, issuing a call to
“Look after your oral health for a lifetime of smiles”.
For many years, FDI has been at the
forefront of raising awareness of antibiotic resistance in dentistry. Listen to
this compelling episode to discover the
importance of antimicrobials as lifesaving drugs and learn about the role of
dentists and dental teams in helping to
address the global AMR crisis.
In this podcast episode, listen to
voices from around the globe, such as
Dr Elham Kateeb, the dean of scientific
research at Al-Quds University in Palestine,
who share their experiences of leveraging
WOHD to help improve oral health.
Discover the diverse, encouraging and
inspiring collective efforts that help
the campaign reach different audiences
and spread oral health messages far
and wide.
Resolutions for 2023:
What’s next for oral health?
The first Dental Check-up episode
of 2023 highlights the opportunities
and events throughout the year that
dentists and dental teams can leverage
to help educate themselves or their
patients on key oral health matters.
AD
The host of this episode, Australian
broadcast journalist Tony Johnston,
and guest speakers FDI Executive Director
Enzo Bondioni and FDI Communications
and Advocacy Director Dr Charanjit Jagait
discuss some important events, such
as the WHO Executive Board meeting,
World Oral Health Day (WOHD), the
WHO Global Oral Health Action Plan
and the 2023 World Dental Congress in
Sydney in Australia.
Cleft care:
The beauty of scars and difference
Comprehensive cleft care for those
born with a cleft lip and/or palate can
involve a range of care, including nutrition support, surgery, speech therapy,
orthodontics, other dental care and
psychosocial support. Treatments, such
as those involving multiple prosthetic
appliances, can be extensive and tiring.
They are, however, essential to help
babies and children swallow, eat, grow
and learn to speak. Digital technologies
are key to improving universal access to
cleft care, especially in remote areas.
In this episode, Ashley Barbour, a
teacher consultant from the US who was
born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate,
and Dr Juan Pablo Gomez Arango, an
associate professor of orthodontic biomechanics at Universidad Autónoma
de Manizales in Colombia, explore the
potential of digital technology to increase access to cleft care. They also delve
deeper into how growing up with cleft
and receiving treatment throughout life
can help people have successful, meaningful and purposeful lives.

Oral healthcare access:
Insights and solutions
Oral health is recognised as a basic
human right and a fundamental aspect of overall health and well-being.
Despite all the evidence, oral healthcare services are not included in
universal health coverage programmes
in many countries. In countries where
some coverage exists, essential preventive and clinical services show large gaps,
especially for vulnerable, disadvantaged,
rural or poorer populations.
In March, FDI organised a full-day
round table to review existing evidence
on the challenges of universal access
to oral care. Participants discussed
what constitutes appropriate access to
oral care and reviewed replicable best
practices for expanding access to oral
care through integration into primary
healthcare systems, including underserved populations.
In this episode, three of those
participants—Dr Irving McKenzie, chief
dental officer in the Jamaican Ministry
of Health and Wellness; dental surgeon
Prof. Manu Mathur from Queen Mary
University of London; and Dr Grace Dubois,
senior policy and advocacy manager
at the NCD Alliance—represent the
perspectives of their various fields,
including clinical practice and service
management, policy analysis, advocacy
and academia. Their conversation
provides a robust picture of the key
elements of appropriate access to oral
care.
More information about FDI’s
objective to improve access to oral
healthcare can be found in a recently
published white paper, which is available

Visionary Fund and Australasia section have united their
efforts to bring lasting change to
underserved communities in the
South Pacific nation of Vanuatu
through their support of the
country’s healthy teeth school
programme, Gudfala Tut Skul. This
collaborative initiative has not only
improved oral health among children but also positively affected
families, communities and local
healthcare systems.
| Currently, Gudfala Tut Skul is operating in schools and kindergartens at
Port Vila, Luganville and Sulphur Bay on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu.

In 2017, the charity Medical
Sailing Ministries, which transports medical and dental teams
to all corners of the country,
conducted a national oral health
survey in Vanuatu, revealing alarming rates of dental health issues,
particularly among the young
population.
12–14 October 2023
Recognising the urgent need for
intervention, the Gudfala Tut Skul
programme was born, aiming
to instil lifelong oral hygiene
habits and reduce dental ailments.
This visionary project began as a
20-week supervised toothbrushing trial using fluoride toothpaste
among Grade 1, 6 and 9 students
at the central school in the capital,
Port Vila. Supported by the ICD
and other organisations, Gudfala
Tut Skul’s impact has been nothing
short of transformative.
Starting with just six schools
and early childcare and education
centres in 2019, the programme
has expanded its reach year after
year. Thanks in part to grants from
the ICD’s Australasia section and
Global Visionary Fund, the programme now reaches 72 schools
and early childcare and education
centres—over 4,000 children and
their families!
This initiative has improved
oral health and has increased
awareness about the importance
of proper oral hygiene and the
adverse effects of excessive sugar
consumption on overall health. It
has instilled a sense of community
responsibility, each child’s influence extending to at least four
family members. The ripple effect
has multiplied the programme’s
impact, fostering healthier habits
within families.
The ICD’s support, alongside
contributions from FDI, Rotary and
others, has been instrumental
in driving this initiative forwards.

FDI and Henry Schein working to introduce
integrated electronic health records to dentistry
© metamorworks/Shutterstock.com
| Enhancing the interoperability of dental and medical workflows
By Jeremy Booth, Dental Tribune International
| FDI President Prof. Ihsane Ben Yahya says that electronic health records can foster interprofessional collaboration
and elevate patient care to new heights.
E
lectronic health records (EHRs)
have the potential to greatly
improve the overall quality of
dental care and research. FDI is undertaking an ambitious project that
aims to lay the foundation for EHRs
in dental offices around the world,
and the project is being generously
supported by Henry Schein. Dental
Tribune International (DTI) spoke
with experts at FDI and Henry Schein
about the project and about why EHRs
are important and how they can
improve patient outcomes.
FDI’s Integrated Electronic Health
Records in Dentistry project aims to
lay the groundwork for enhanced
interprofessional collaboration and
integrated healthcare in dentistry.
The organisation has convened an
international group of experts from
dental and other medical fields who
will review the literature and existing
examples of EHRs. This team will
work together with national dental
and health associations to identify
and understand the needs of end
users and consider barriers to and
facilitators for the use of EHRs in daily
practice. Based on this information,
the team will propose a recommendation for relevant and acceptable
oral health indicators to be included
and routinely recorded in EHRs.
The team includes experts from
the fields of preventive and restorative
dentistry, oral medicine, preventive and
general medicine, internal medicine
22
and health outcomes measurement.
Henry Schein is supporting the
project with its global network, its
broad portfolio of technological
solutions and its expertise in digital
health records.
Improving health outcomes
According to Prof. Mark Wolff, dean
of the School of Dental Medicine at
the University of Pennsylvania, there
has been global recognition that
oral health is intimately involved in
general health and well-being and
that the opposite is also true—general health affects oral health and
quality of life. Prof. Wolff is part of
the project team which began work
earlier this year, taking what FDI
said was a momentous step towards
improving patient care and fostering
collaboration between healthcare
professions.
Prof. Wolff told DTI: “It is very clear
that oral health affects our ability
to concentrate and study at school,
to attend work on time and do a
good job. To separate out whether
a patient is having cardiac, diabetic
or arthritic problems and oral health
problems is foolish. A patient’s medical health, and the medications they
are taking, directly influence how a
dentist can deliver care and how effective or ineffective it is. Oral health
and general health outcomes really
can be negatively affected without
communication between healthcare
providers and social workers.”
www.world-dental-congress.org
One of the strengths of EHRs is
that they can positively influence
patients’ engagement with their treatment, improving treatment acceptance
and healthcare outcomes. Prof. Wolff
explained: “One of the things that I
think we have learned in dentistry
is that we cannot cure dental disease without patient and caregiver
participation, without families and
individuals and an informed public.
When people have access to their
own records, where they can look at
the interactions between the prescriptions and the medications that
they receive, these individuals have
a much better opportunity to improve their health in concert with
their dentist or primary healthcare
provider.”
The time for EHRs
in dentistry is now
David Kochman, chief corporate
affairs officer at Henry Schein, told
DTI that EHRs are overdue. “In the US
every year there are an estimated two
million visits to hospital emergency
departments for dental pain. This
increases costs for all involved and
ultimately leaves a massive gap in the
patient’s care journey,” Kochman
pointed out. “There have been numerous studies linking chronic oral
diseases—such as caries and periodontal disease—to chronic diseases such
as diabetes. The mouth is a part of the
body. We need to treat it as such, and
there is no better time to integrate
dental and medical than now.”
Kochman said that there has
been a substantial push in recent
decades to create the technology
needed for interoperable EHRs that
share patient information between
EHR systems and healthcare providers. He pointed to examples such
as Fast Healthcare Interoperability
Resources, a standard for healthcare
data exchange developed by Health
Level Seven International (HL7), and
said that artificial intelligence and
open application programming interfaces have allowed companies like
Henry Schein to develop innovative
solutions and partner with industry
leaders, bringing interoperability and
integration to the forefront.
It takes time to build consensus
in medical fields. However, Kochman
said that the culmination of several
factors has made Henry Schein confident that the time has arrived to
empower the health professions to
collaborate more closely. He said:
“For some time now, people have
been shouting ‘This is where we have
to go, why are we not moving faster?’
But the bulk of healthcare professions still have not adopted an integrated care model, not even those
who do agree with it. We have
reached the inflection point where
the energy has built up, and the consensus is there. From an academic
standpoint, universities are starting
to drive a holistic care model to the
extent where students who are graduating expect there to be integration
in the way that they practise and the
proper technology to support it.”
Prof. Wolff pointed out that the
use of EHRs in US dental offices
emerged as a means of practice
management, helping clinics to bill
patients and oversee financial aspects,
rather than as a means of benefiting
the health of the patient. He said that
this was no longer the case: “I think
that health records are emerging so
that a patient who has high blood
pressure in the medical record has
high blood pressure in the dental
record. This is where EHRs are starting
to have an elevated impact. Dentistry
emerged with its own record, medicine emerged with its own record,
and it is just at this time that we are
starting to see these records speaking to each other.”
EHRs are already in use in some
countries, and Henry Schein stands
out as an expert in this emerging
field. Henry Schein One’s Dentrix
Enterprise, for example, already interoperates with more than 40 EHRs
though HL7 integrations, offering
single or bidirectional care transfer
of patient information that includes
demographics, clinical notes, medication information and pharmacy
orders. Exan, a Henry Schein One company whose software is integrated
with the US health information exchange Carequality, is currently being
used by the University of Pennsylvania
School of Dental Medicine.
A project on a global scale
The task ahead is significant.
Prof. Wolff explained: “You have to
recognise that we are doing this on
a global scale and that we need to
understand all of the different records
that are out there. We are already getting a better understanding of what is
happening globally, and I think that
there are a series of health items—
things like dental caries and periodontal disease with inflammation that
could influence heart health or diabetes—that should be shared between
the health professions. And then we
also need to talk about social determinants of health, such as financial,
psychological and family issues. These
determinants cross the professions
and need to be shared.”
Kochman said the work being
done will change dental care: “It
won’t happen overnight, but the
generation of practitioners graduating today (and in the future) are going
to have a more holistic approach.
They will also call on the industry to
provide scalable, innovative, interoperable technology to play a meaningful role in helping them put
the patient first. Post-pandemic, consumers are now expecting the same
level of access, personalisation and
fluidity in healthcare as they experience in other areas of their lives.
There’s no doubt interoperability
and integration will help shape the
future of care, bringing the healthcare industry up to speed with consumerism and providing comprehensive care that closes the loop in
the patient journey.”
Emphasising the significance of
the project at the time of the launch,
FDI President Prof. Ihsane Ben Yahya
commented: “If harnessed effectively
across all healthcare sectors, EHRs
hold the potential to foster interprofessional collaboration and elevate
patient care to new heights. We are
thrilled to embark on this journey to
comprehend the needs and preferences of dentists and dental teams concerning EHRs to enhance quality of
care and fuel impactful research.”
FDI expects the results of the literature review and end user research
by early 2024, and the project’s international expert advisory group is expected to convene throughout 2024
for the consensus process. FDI and
Henry Schein will keep the international
dental community updated as the
project progresses.

BISCO’s tried and true calcium-releasing family
| Remember the adage “A penny saved
is a penny earned”? How about “Little
strokes fell great oaks”? It is time to add
another adage to the list: “If it works,
keep using it”. Whereas this saying has
countless uses in everyday life, it is
particularly applicable to work in the
dental community. Here, when something is efficient and reliable, we turn to
it time and time again. That is why dentists across the country continue to rely
on the BISCO line of therapeutic, calcium-
releasing materials for their restorative
needs.
The newest addition to this family
of products, launched last year, is
TheraBase—a dual-cure, calcium- and
fluoride-releasing, self-adhesive base/
liner designed to be stronger and more
durable than other base materials.
Here is how it works: when water is
introduced, the non-dissolving matrix
releases calcium hydroxide and fluoride ions. Then, within minutes, the ongoing ion exchange that results raises
pH levels,* and the ensuing alkalinity
promotes pulp vitality.1 TheraBase is
dual-curing, which means that, even
though it can be light cured, the ma
terial can fully polymerise chemically
throughout, and this includes the area
in deep restorations where light cannot
reach. The calcium-releasing base and
liner features BISCO’s proprietary hydrophilic matrix, which aids in protecting tooth structure. In addition, the
material is self-adhesive and does not
require bonding agents, thus saving
time and costs.
quicker time frame, resulting in a
more pleasant appointment for the
child as well as an excellent final
restoration.”
| TheraBase.
A much touted benefit is that
TheraBase is highly radiopaque, paving
the way for improved radiographic
identification and more accurate dental
diagnoses. The product also has high
flexural strength, absorbing stress and
shock from occlusal forces.
Well suited for pulpitis risk
“I’ve been using TheraBase when
I am very near to the pulp and where
there’s a risk of pulpitis,” Dr Aliisha Choucair,
a dentist at Laurel Dental in Leander in
Texas, explained. “It’s very easy to place
and has good retention. I was able to
restore a case that had reversible pul
pitis—the tooth remained vital, the
nerve settled down, and the restoration
appears to be well sealed,” she con
tinued. “I like the science behind it—
releasing calcium and fluoride—and it
has good handling properties.”
commented that he thoroughly enjoys
the product and said, “Having used it
for many restorations now, I have found
it just works wonderfully.”
Meet the rest of the family
TheraBase joins three other Thera
products, which all use the THERA technology in their formulas. TheraCal PT,
for example, is a biocompatible, dual-
cured, resin-modified calcium silicate
that is used for pulpotomy treatment.
Dr David Martin, a dentist in
Totowa in New Jersey, said that
TheraCal PT is particularly useful in
cases where patients cannot tolerate
long chair times. The material has a
working time of 45 seconds and a
setting time of 5 minutes. “I recently
had a young child with a large carious exposure,” he explained. “I was
able to treat the lesion in a much
Moisture-tolerant and requiring
fewer steps compared with other similar materials, TheraCal PT resists breakdown and provides a durable seal.
It is also radiopaque and allows for immediate placement of the restorative
material. “Being able to place in the
presence of some moisture makes it close
to an ideal material for pulpotomies,”
Dr Martin added.
Released in 2017, TheraCem is a
dual-
cured, calcium- and fluoride-
releasing, self-adhesive resin cement
that contains MDP, an adhesion-
promoting monomer that enhances
bond strength to zirconia, metal and
tooth structure without the need for
additional adhesive or primer.
BISCO’s unique line of Thera products traces its lineage back to 2011,
when the first member of the Thera
family, TheraCal LC, was launched. This
light-cured product is a resin-modified,
calcium silicate-filled liner. TheraCal LC
insulates the pulp by forming a protec-

their restorative needs.

midifies the oral mucosa, supporting
regrowth of cells. It also protects the
regenerating mucosa by creating a
protective biopolymer film over it.
This acts against dry mouth, reduces
the risk of infection by viruses and
bacteria, and supports the formation
of new mucosal cells.
Caries prevention
Xylitol not only contributes to
Perio plus’s pleasant taste without spiking
blood sugar and insulin, but also helps
keep the teeth healthy and helps prevent
caries. Oral bacteria such as Streptococcus
mutans cannot metabolise xylitol, resulting in the bacteria dying off.
Strong effect
but fewer side effects
Two key components of Perio plus
are chlorhexidine and Citrox. Chlorhexidine digluconate (0.09%) has
been the gold standard of oral antiseptics for decades. Citrox is a novel
organic antibacterial made from bioflavonoids and is sourced from bitter
oranges. It is effective against bacteria,
viruses and fungi.
Studies have shown that the combination of Citrox and chlorhexidine
is more effective than using chlor
hexidine alone. Citrox in Perio plus
is combined with polylysine amino
acids to create the Citrox/P formula,
which offers a long-lasting antibacterial
effect. Thanks to this unique blend of
ingredients, it is possible to reduce
the amount of chlorhexidine used
and consequently its side effects.
Using Perio plus
The patient should rinse with 10 ml
of Perio plus undiluted for 60 seconds,
morning and night, for up to one
month. Patients must be warned that
Perio plus is for oral application only
and must not be swallowed. It should

Natural hydroxyapatite is a highly stable
mineral that is unable to release active
ions even when in contact with damaged
tooth areas. Products that contain only
this type of hydroxyapatite are not
particularly effective in remineralising, although they can still claim to
have desensitising properties. Natural hydroxyapatite, without added
minerals, does not have any particular capacity to remineralise. The substitution with magnesium, strontium
and carbonate, however, makes the
Curasept Biosmalto hydroxyapatite
highly reactive, enabling it to quickly
release bioactive elements that lead
to true remineralisation, thus exploiting the normal biological processes.
In addition, fluoride helps to create
a mineralised surface that is more
resistant to acid attacks and more
able to better protect the teeth
from erosion, abrasion and brushing
damages. The formulation has been
further enriched with strontium salts
to help rapidly reduce pain in cases of
dentinal sensitivity.
In patients particularly predisposed
to strong demineralisation, such as
those suffering from Sjögren’s syndrome, diabetes or dry mouth or undergoing chemo- or radiotherapy, and
wearers of orthodontic appliances,
patients with white spots or those
who have frequent caries, the additional
use of Curasept Biosmalto Mousse is
recommended. The foam is based on
amorphous calcium phosphate enriched with carbonate and fluoride and
is externally citrate functionalised. In
contact with saliva, the ACP-F complex
dissolves immediately, rapidly releasing
the active substances. In this way, a
large amount of calcium, phosphate
and fluoride is released directly on to
the dental surface and in proximity to
the demineralised lesions, while citrate
facilitates the penetration of the ions
inside the tooth. The result is a rapid
and intense remineralising action.
Curasept Biosmalto Mousse is
also recommended for children. To
guarantee an effective remineralisation process, the Curasept Biosmalto
Mousse should be used together
with products from the Curasept
Biosmalto toothpaste line, selected
according to the patient’s age.

Innovation and AI at the core of Planmeca’s imaging solutions
intra-oral radiographs. The new feature—Second Opinion—is being introduced as part of a collaboration with
service provider Pearl that will enable
the receiving of AI evaluations of intra-
oral radiographs directly in Romexis
for further examination and treatment
planning.
| Planmeca is showcasing numerous
product innovations at FDI World
Dental Congress in Sydney. Highlights
of this year’s event include major additions based on artificial intelligence (AI)
to Planmeca’s acclaimed all-in-one
Romexis dental software as well as to
the Planmeca Viso family of nextgeneration CBCT imaging units.
Planmeca Romexis is a flexible
and powerful software platform that
supports the most versatile range of
2D and 3D imaging as well as CAD/CAM
work. It is a tried-and-true, all-in-one
solution with features to satisfy the
most demanding needs, regardless
of specialty or clinic. At the World
Dental Congress, Planmeca will be
presenting several improvements to
the software and new features, all of
which are available for demonstration
at the booth.
Firstly, one of the most significant
additions to the Romexis 3D-imaging
module is the AI-based Romexis Smart.
This new feature automatically recognises and segments anatomies such
as those of teeth, nerves, jaws, airways
and sinuses. This not only speeds up
the daily workflow, but also provides
excellent visualisation of the case for
patient education.
Owing to the use of AI, CBCT images
and intra-oral scans can now be
mapped automatically as well, and
automatic tooth number recognition
allows for easy navigation of the teeth.
Simply click on the tooth number in the
tooth chart, and the software centres
all views on the tooth of interest.
With the introduction of Romexis
Ortho Simulator, the Romexis CAD/CAM
module has also received a major update which allows the user to simulate
potential treatment outcomes based
on intra-oral scans within minutes. Its
AI-based algorithm creates simulation
proposals for orthodontic cases, making
it easier to discuss treatment possibi
lities and showcase the potential of
clear aligner treatments to patients,
for example.
The Planmeca Romexis CMF Surgery
module for cranio-maxillofacial surgical
planning has received updates and
improvements too.
Finally, Romexis is getting a new
AI-based image analysis option for
A seamless companion to the
Romexis software is the company’s
flagship Planmeca Viso line of CBCT imaging units, which are also being represented at the World Dental Congress.
The powerful units come with advanced features for all users and purposes, providing 2D and 3D imaging
and meeting the most demanding
requirements of maxillofacial diagnostics. The units offer dental practices all
the imaging tools they need, and their
features include innovative patient
positioning, fantastic usability and outstanding image quality. The newest addition to the family is Planmeca Viso G3,
which facilitates premium imaging of
the whole dentition and comes with
the full benefits of the high-end Viso
technology.

Embracing the next century of growth
| Shofu was established in Kyoto in
Japan in 1922 by Kajo Shofu III, who
diversified from the Kiyomizu-yaki ceramics industry and insulator business
to manufacture the first high-quality
porcelain teeth for the Japanese market. Shofu has since achieved many
milestones and has developed a spectrum of value-added products over the
years, including spherical amalgam
and an extensive range of abrasives,
and is recognised today as a comprehensive dental manufacturer.
A focus on research and development and a commitment to quality,
being Shofu’s response to change
management philosophy in the
1980s, helped the company to develop a wide range of world-class,
innovative product solutions that en
26
hanced the company’s value, strengthened brand equity and fuelled its
growth. Shofu became the first dental company in Japan to list on the
Osaka stock exchange in 1989 and
later on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in
2007.
Diversification of the product range
to include clinical and dental laboratory products and a global outlook
have helped pivot its international expansion. The importance of local adaptation to cater to diverse needs remains
key to Shofu’s multiregional success.
Shofu Dental Asia-Pacific, a regional
branch of Shofu, has collaborated
closely with dental leaders, institutions and the dental fraternity in the
Asia Pacific region in order to under-

stand regional needs and daily clinical
and technical laboratory challenges.
Its aim has been to customise solutions
in order to overcome such hurdles and
help improve efficiency.
and followers by providing suitable
bioactive products that enable clinicians
to restore bespoke, beautiful smiles by
integrating the less is more practice
philosophy in their daily workflow.
Shofu’s commitment to excellence
extends to all levels, from product development, raw materials sourcing and manu
facturing to distribution along the entire
value chain, to benefit all stakeholders,
especially our regional partners and dental professionals. With the understanding
that beautiful teeth are a symbol of health
and happiness, the company embraces
its vision to continually provide proven
products for better dentistry.
Shofu partnered with the MiCD
Global Network and the Van Lang University in Vietnam to organise the MiCD
Regional Symposium in Ho Chi Minh
City, which took place on 23 June and
featured a select panel of renowned
speakers who shared their expertise and
best practices on MiCD, aimed at enabling participants to seamlessly adopt
the MiCD principles and to deliver holistic
aesthetic restorative treatment.
Shofu is committed to fostering
stronger ties with industry partners,
institutions, key opinion leaders and
dental professionals in order to support
continuing dental education, which is
critical for enhancing the quality of oral
healthcare.
Prevention of dental disease and
maintenance of oral health are critical
at both ends of the age spectrum, especially for the ageing patient population
with underlying medical conditions.
Shofu offers a wide array of bioactive
With the paradigm shift from invasive to minimally invasive treatment
modalities, there is increasing emphasis
on the preservation of the natural tooth
structure during aesthetic dental treatment. Shofu has supported the minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry (MiCD)
movement since its inception more
than a decade ago and is the official
partner of the MiCD Global Network.
The company believes in co-creating
solutions with MiCD leaders, advocates
restorative and preventive care products based on the proprietary surface
pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG)
filler technology, which imparts bio
active benefits such as anti-plaque and
antibacterial properties and acid neutralisation, giving increased resistance
to acids. This reinforces tooth structure
and helps clinicians render high-quality treatment to their patients.
Bolstered by our 100-year legacy of
quality, innovation and valued partnerships, Shofu is embarking on the new
century with a vision for brighter smiles
globally through the creation of the
highest-quality, cutting-edge product
solutions that enhance dental workflows and aid clinicians in providing
excellent patient-centred care.

Patients prefer Guided Biofilm Therapy
| The basis of good oral and
general health is a clean mouth.
Well-informed patients know this
and visit the dentist for professional prophylaxis regularly.
An ongoing global survey by
EMS on patients’ preferences
regarding the method used
showed that around 92% of the
76,000 patients who completed
the survey between May 2021
and March 2022 favoured
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT).
To date, the survey findings have
been confirmed by more than
250,000 participants.
The World Health Organization
has identified oral disease as a
key health problem.1, 2 Patients can
avoid developing diseases such
as caries and periodontitis by
adopting a healthy lifestyle and
implementing an effective personal oral hygiene routine to
remove plaque. 3, 4 Undergoing
professional prophylaxis is also
of great importance. Methods,
instruments and materials used
for this purpose should therefore
be state of the art.5
Method comparison
EMS’s GBT is a systematic, comprehensively documented clinical
protocol developed in collaboration with researchers and practitioners. Its aim is to clean all oral
surfaces as thoroughly as possible
using a minimally invasive method.6
In GBT, after disclosing of plaque,
the biofilm is gently removed with
the AIRFLOW handpiece.7 Only then
is the painless piezoceramic ultrasonic instrument PIEZON PS NO PAIN
used for removal of calculus. In
contrast, conventional professional
prophylaxis procedures focus on
removing calculus with invasive
sonic or hand instruments. The
subsequent polishing unnecessarily
removes enamel.8 In addition, in
order to save time, disclosing of
plaque is often neglected. As a
result, significantly more biofilm
remains compared with GBT, for
which a standardised disclosing
agent is used.9, 10
col administered the questionnaires
and provided the anonymised responses to EMS. The questionnaires
contained eight questions, covering
overall assessment of GBT, surface
smoothness achieved, usefulness of
disclosing plaque prior to treatment
and direct comparison with the
conventional prophylaxis method,
among others.
Discussion and conclusion
The survey finding that around
92% of patients preferred the
GBT systematic prophylaxis protocol
compared with the conventional
approach is consistent with that
of previously published studies.5, 11
Based on the risks and needs of the
individual patient, GBT is suitable
for both primary prophylaxis and
secondary prophylaxis for periodontitis and peri-implantitis therapy.
Owing to its particular practical
benefit, in combination with the
comprehensive scientific
documentation supporting
GBT, it is recommended

level of patient satisfaction found
by the survey leads to a very
good recall rate in daily practice,
and the protocol is efficient to
apply.
