interview
“Everyone has a role to play in tackling
antimicrobial resistance”: What’s yours?
| An interview with Dr Wendy Thompson.
Iveta Ramonaite, Dental Tribune International
necessary. We are equipped and
trained to treat dental infections
early, identifying potential prob
lems before they become infec
tions through routine check-ups
and preventive care. By nipping
issues in the bud, we can prevent
infections and thus reduce the need
for antibiotics, keeping them effec
tive for life-threatening situations,
both dental and otherwise.
A
ntimicrobial resistance (AMR)
is an increasingly critical
global health issue. Accord
ing to the World Health Organi
zation (WHO), bacterial AMR was
directly responsible for 1.27 million
deaths and contributed to 4.95 mil
lion deaths globally in 2019. In this
interview, Dental Tribune Inter
national speaks with Dr Wendy
Thompson, who is a dentist and
chair of FDI’s Preventing AMR and
Infections Task Team. Dr Thompson
shares insights on the vital role
antibiotics play in modern dental
practices, the dangers of over
prescribing and the urgent need
for stewardship within the dental
community. She also discusses the
importance of preventive care, the
responsibilities of dental professionals
and the upcoming UN General
Assembly meeting on AMR.
Dr Thompson, you are one of the
leading advocates for the safe
and responsible use of antibiotics.
Could you start by explaining the
importance of antibiotics in dentistry and why it is crucial to use
them only when needed?
Antibiotics are life-saving drugs
when people really need them, and
they must work effectively when
required. They underpin modern
medicine: without effective anti
biotics, many procedures would
simply be unsafe. Our modern way
of life relies heavily on antibiotics,
and we are already seeing life ex
pectancies being reduced globally
owing to antibiotic resistance. Dental
infections can lead to sepsis, which
is a significant concern. Therefore,
ensuring that antibiotics work is
crucial for patient safety.
Repeated exposure to antibiotics
promotes antibiotic resistance.
Could you explain why this could
be dangerous?
Repeated exposure to antibiotics
is dangerous because each time
you take an antibiotic, it kills sus
ceptible bacteria, but some bacteria
will always survive because they are
not affected by that particular anti
biotic. This can lead to overgrowth
of resistant bacteria or fungi, such
as thrush, which thrive when the
susceptible bacteria are eliminated.
For instance, C. difficile can colonise
the gut after antibiotics clear out
other bacteria, producing toxins
that can cause severe illness or

| Dr Wendy Thompson is a clinical
senior lecturer in primary dental care
at the University of Manchester
in the UK.
Globally, dentists are responsible
for about 10% of antibiotic pre
scribing, and studies have shown
that a significant proportion of
these prescriptions are unnecessary.
For example, studies in the US
show that up to 80% of antibiotics
prescribed by dentists are not
necessarily needed. The situation can
be even more pronounced in devel
oping countries, where the impact
of antibiotic resistance can be dis
proportionately severe. Infections
do not respect boundaries, so this
is a global issue. The adverse
outcomes of antibiotics, such as
anaphylaxis and Clostridioides difficile
infections, highlight the need for
judicious use of these drugs.
Dentists are high prescribers
of antibiotics, and misuse con
tributes to antibiotic resistance.
Dentists have a vital role to use
antibiotics only when absolutely

death. Similarly, if a patient with
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus
aureus (MRSA) is given antibiotics,
the susceptible bacteria are cleared
out, leaving the resistant ones to
proliferate, potentially leading to
life-threatening infections.
WHO emphasises patient advo
cacy to explain AMR to the public.
People often do not realise the true
cause of death in cases where resis
tance has played a significant role.
Vanessa Carter’s* story is a poi
gnant example of AMR. Her facial
prosthesis failed due to a MRSA
infection after multiple antibiotic
treatments for various injuries. Her
experience highlights the dangers
of repeated antibiotic exposure.
You are the lead author of FDI’s
white paper on dental antibiotics.
What role does the dental team
play in AMR, and how can they be
better supported in tackling the
issue?
The dental team’s role in tack
ling antibiotic resistance involves
three key areas from WHO’s national
action plan: raising awareness, pre
venting and controlling infections,
and antibiotic stewardship. Firstly,
raising awareness is crucial not only
within our professional circles but
also among the general popula
tion. All dental team members,
including receptionists, should be
knowledgeable about antibiotic
resistance. They should be able to
explain why antibiotics may not
be the best solution and the risks
involved, thus seeking to keep
patients safe.
Secondly, preventing and con
trolling infections is about more than
just disinfection and decontamina
tion. Dental infections are common
globally, and preventing them
through good oral hygiene, dietary
advice and timely dental care is
vital. By treating issues early, we
can avoid the need for antibiotics.
During the COVID-19 pandemic,
dentistry proved effective in in
fection control, showing that we
are well equipped to handle such
challenges.
Lastly, antibiotic stewardship
means prescribing antibiotics only
when strictly necessary. This re
quires access to time and resources
for proper dental procedures rather
than resorting to antibiotics as
a quick fix. WHO has guidelines
for dental conditions that may need
antibiotics, such as dental abscesses
and noma—a neglected tropical
disease that starts as gingivitis. Each
country should tailor these guidelines
to their specific context to balance
risks and benefits effectively.
To make FDI’s white paper more
accessible, we produced an inter
active online course and a pledge
committing to these principles for
national dental associations to sign.
We are currently analysing feedback
from these associations to improve
our approach further and will
be presenting the results in the
coming months.
This September, the UN General
Assembly will hold its second
high-level meeting on AMR, providing world leaders with the
opportunity to address the threat
of AMR to global health. Could you
tell us a bit about the significance
of this event and how it will contribute to reducing the spread of
infections that are resistant to
antimicrobial medicines?
The UN General Assembly’s
involvement in AMR highlights its
global importance. This is only
the fourth health issue that the
UN General Assembly has taken up,
after HIV/Aids, Ebola and non-
communicable diseases. The first
high-level meeting on AMR in 2016
recognised the severe threat AMR
poses to human health, animal
health and the environment.
The 2024 high-level meeting
will update the global action plan
on AMR, emphasising a One Health
approach that integrates human,
animal and environmental health.
This collaboration between WHO,
the World Organisation for Animal
Health, the UN’s Food and Agriculture
Organization and the UN Environment
Programme aims to address AMR
comprehensively. Ensuring that oral
health is included in this agenda
is crucial, as dental infections and
antibiotic use play a significant role
in AMR.
How is FDI preparing for this
meeting to ensure that oral health
is included in the antimicrobial
stewardship agenda?
FDI is working with various part
ners, including the World Medical
Association and the World Health
Professions Alliance, to ensure that
oral health is part of the AMR
agenda. We have had discussions
with WHO to determine how best
to contribute to this effort. At the
UN high-level meeting, we will ad
vocate for universal access to oral
healthcare as a crucial component
of AMR prevention and control.
We will also highlight the
effectiveness of dental infection
prevention and control measures
and the need for proper guidelines
to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
Educating the public and health
care professionals about the appro
priate use of antibiotics in dental
care is essential to combat AMR.
By raising awareness and promoting
best practices, we can play a sig
nificant role in reducing the spread
of resistant infections.
Everyone has a role to play in
tackling AMR. We must all work
together to keep antibiotics effective
for future generations.

interview
“We have long been committed to implementing
eco-friendly processes at Ars Salutaris”
| An interview with green dentistry advocate Dr Hrvoje Pezo.
Iveta Ramonaite, Dental Tribune International
What steps have you taken to
make your dental clinic more ecofriendly, and which has had the
most significant impact?
We have long been committed
to implementing eco-friendly processes at Ars Salutaris. We began
with fundamental initiatives, such
as installing solar panels, introducing water-saving systems and removing calcification without using
electricity, chemicals or salt. Additionally, we have upgraded to energy-
efficient lighting fixtures with motion
sensors and provided specialised
education and training for both our
employees and our patients.
We relocated the dental laboratory to the same building as the
clinic, an expensive step but the
benefits have been substantial.
This move has improved professional efficiency and significantly
reduced the energy used for transporting materials and facilitating
communication between the clinic,

n recent years, the global dental
industry has been increasingly
focusing on sustainability, recognising the need to reduce its environmental impact while maintaining high-quality patient care. As
part of this movement, Ars Salutaris,
a dental clinic in Croatia, has become a beacon of eco-friendly innovation, winning the prestigious
FDI Sustainability Award in 2023.
Dental Tribune International spoke
with co-owner Dr Hrvoje Pezo
about the clinic’s journey towards
sustainability, the challenges and
successes encountered along the
way and the role of digital technology in shaping the future of green
dentistry.
Dr Pezo, what prompted you to
incorporate sustainability into
your dental clinic, and what advantages have you observed as
a result?
Through my clinical work over
many years, I have been burdened
by the fact that we as dental professionals produce a huge amount of
waste, which is often not only biological waste but also waste that is
difficult to biodegrade or materials
such as amalgam that have a signif
icant impact on our environment.
Conversely, I am also delighted
that the modern digital workflow
reduces waste to a certain extent,
thus minimising our environmental
impact.
6
When talking about sustainable
dentistry, we often first think of
waste reduction, rational use of
resources and renewable energy
sources. However, the sustainability
story is extremely complex and
offers many more opportunities to
act in an environmentally respon
sible way.
At Ars Salutaris, we have developed a doctrine that focuses on
sustainability by engaging our employees and patients in addressing
environmental challenges. While
researching existing literature,
I found a lack of information on
how transportation choices affect
the accessibility of dental services.
This led us to consider how much
impact we could have by encouraging patients to walk, cycle or use
public transport when visiting our
clinic. Additionally, communication
between the dental laboratory and
the office, particularly when dealing with multiple prosthetic re
storations, significantly contributes
to environmental pollution. These
are processes that we may assume
are beyond our control, but that is
not the case.
From an economic and entre
preneurial perspective, incorporating
sustainability into a system ensures
process optimisation, and each
op
timisation contributes to progress towards environmental goals.
2024.world-dental-congress.org
By rationalising material consumption, we not only achieve economic value but also significantly
reduce waste. Unfortunately, our
efforts to incorporate green guidelines into our entire supply chain
have often not achieved the results
we are striving for. Therefore, it can
be challenging to choose between
suppliers with similar green agendas
who contribute positively to our
supply chain’s environmental impact.
Since Croatia is a small market, finding suppliers that meet our criteria
for quality, price and contribution
to green dentistry is particularly
difficult.
I am deeply concerned that
the dental industry does not
adequately emphasise sustainable
practices that could reduce its environmental impact. During the numerous congresses and exhibitions
I have attended, this topic has been
rarely addressed and only modestly
by a few individuals. This lack of
focus is troubling, and I believe our
profession is significantly lagging
in developing and implementing new, environmentally friendly
ideas.
Digital dentistry was once met
with scepticism by many dentists,
but it is now seen as a key enabler
of sustainable practices. What is
your opinion on the role of digital
technology, including the use of
artificial intelligence, in modern
dentistry?
I partially agree with ecosceptics.
While I support sustainability,
I believe that we cannot embrace
radical ideas if they compromise
quality or endanger our patients.
When analysing the actual contributions to sustainability in other
industries, I often find that the
outcomes do not result in genuine
ecological progress and may even
threaten our environment. Industries are very skilled at marketing
these ideas, and we as consumers
are not always able to recognise
this.
For this reason, we must exercise caution when implementing
modern materials and technologies in our profession. The benefits
of digital technologies and artificial
intelligence in patient treatment
are undeniable. However, we must
consider the real costs and justify
the price of these systems, as both
resources and clinic funds are
valuable and must be used wisely.
I frequently discuss this topic in
the context of the clinic’s policy
because the rational management
of resources in our supply chain is
a critical issue.
Further monitoring of the behaviour of new materials in the en
vironment after use is essential, and
I am pleased to see that the world,
especially the EU, is taking political
action on this issue. The increasing
use of acrylates for 3D printers,
zirconia instead of metals, new
composites, silicones and other
chemicals will certainly raise these
questions in the future.
waste, which can be conveniently
introduced during conversations
about oral hygiene or when discussing a dental treatment plan.
People would be surprised how
sensitive patients and the public
are to unnecessary food waste but
also to the impact of diet on our
oral and systemic health.
Eco-sustainability is gradually
becoming a standard concern
in dental practices worldwide. In
your opinion, what support is still
needed to facilitate the transition
to sustainable dentistry?
We still have a long way to go in
amplifying the eco-friendly impact of
our profession on our planet. As you
mentioned earlier, it requires a team
effort, not only by health professionals
and patients but also by the dental
industry, the media, politicians and
civil society organisations.
I am very grateful to Dental
Tribune International and FDI for
covering this topic. The visibility of
such ideas and the promotion of
individuals seeking to implement
change are vital in our society.
That support will open up many
more opportunities for sustainability that we encounter every day
without recognising them. Addressing seemingly simple questions about replacing gloves with
biodegradable ones and finding
a disposable cup that does not
contain any plastic foils or coatings
eventually becomes impossible, and
we very often give up on them.
Achieving sustainability requires
a team effort. How important is it
to train staff and educate patients
about sustainable practices?
Teamwork is something that
brings success to any endeavour,
including green dentistry. In establishing the framework, systems,
policies and procedures that shape
how the dental practice operates,
Ars Salutaris employed tools that
are widely recognised in health
economics to develop a doctrine
incorporating the elements of sustainability. Doctrine and strategy
are crucial components of any
organisation, representing core
values that are implicitly under
stood rather than debated. Patients
quickly recognise and embrace
these models, often integrating
them into their behaviour patterns
to varying degrees.
How effective is the FDI Sustainability in Dentistry interactive toolkit in providing actionable ideas
for implementing sustainable
practices in dentistry?
For the last 20 years, I have been
regularly attending the World Dental
Congress and am impressed by the
speed with which priorities and
goals within FDI policy are changing.
Recognising crucial topics on the
periphery of the profession, such
as green dentistry, positions FDI as
a world leader in driving change
and contributing to the public good.
Its influence extends beyond health,
embracing a wide range of innovative ideas. I believe that FDI’s involvement in sustainability and ecology
is crucial because it supports our
national organisations, which often
do not address these topics. FDI’s
tools for implementing these ideas
are not only useful but also globally
significant.
I often raise questions that seem
to have little to do with dentistry,
but their inclusion in patient communication tools gives excellent
results. Through our clinic and the
Red Cross of the city of Zagreb, I am
engaging in discussions about food

interview
“Oral health is a fundamental human right”
| An interview with Dr Elham Talib Kateeb on refugee oral health promotion.
Iveta Ramonaite, Dental Tribune International
Refugees’ right to health, in
cluding oral health, is affirmed by
international conventions such as the
International Covenant on Economic,
Social and Cultural Rights and the
1951 Refugee Convention. Current
global initiatives such as the World
Health Organization’s Global Strategy
and Action Plan on Oral Health 2023–
2030 and FDI’s Vision 2030 emphasise
the necessity of integrating essential oral health interventions into
primary healthcare and achieving
universal health coverage (UHC).
In light of these, there is a pivotal
opportunity to advocate for including
refugees in comprehensive primary
care packages.
them, there are 36.4 million refugees
—that number has doubled in just
seven years—the majority originating from developing countries that
already face challenges in healthcare infrastructure and prevalent oral
disease.
Could you discuss some critical
issues outlined in FDI’s policy brief
that are affecting refugee oral
health?
Ensuring oral health is a crucial
component of overall well-being,
especially for refugees, who experience a significant burden of oral health
issues, such as untreated dental caries, periodontal disease, oral infections and trauma. Addressing these
needs requires collaboration among
multiple stakeholders. Despite international commitments to UHC and
to safeguarding of refugees’ rights to
health, a significant gap remains in
providing adequate general health
and oral health services to refugees.
Challenges such as financial constraints, lack of trust and a shortage
of skilled healthcare professionals
are exacerbated in conflict settings,
where limited resources and population displacement further hinder the
delivery of health interventions.
Research indicates that refugees
experience higher rates of oral
health issues and encounter substantial obstacles in accessing dental services compared with other
vulnerable groups. Notably, 75% of
refugees reside in low- and middle-
income countries, where they are
confronted by significant barriers,
such as limited resources, cultural
and language differences, mistrust
and a shortage of skilled healthcare
professionals willing to serve these
populations.
A survey conducted by FDI in
2019 highlighted that only a small
fraction of respondent countries provided obligatory oral health screenings for refugees upon arrival and
even fewer offered oral health referral
services. Emergency oral healthcare
was the most common type of care
provided, whereas preventive and
therapeutic dental care were less frequently available. In nearly a quarter
of the countries surveyed, no oral
healthcare was provided. This underscores the need for stronger policy

O
n World Refugee Day, FDI
World Dental Federation unveiled a pivotal policy brief
titled Addressing Oral Health Needs
in Refugees: Policy and C ollaboration
Strategies. This comprehensive document, developed under the leadership of FDI’s Public Health Committee, which is chaired by Dr Elham
Talib Kateeb, and in collaboration
with the Office of the United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees
(UNHCR), underscores the urgent
need to tackle the oral health
challenges faced by refugees. In this
interview, Dental Tribune International speaks with Dr Kateeb about
the importance of coordinated efforts and strategic collaboration
to ensure that refugees receive essential oral healthcare, which is a
fundamental component of overall
well-being.
Dr Kateeb, why is it now more important than ever to advocate for
improved refugee oral healthcare?
Today, our world is witnessing
unprecedented levels of suffering and
displacement due to wars, conflicts,
natural disasters, oppression, discrimination and corruption. The nature of warfare nowadays is different
from before, and more than 90% of
casualties in any conflict are civilians.
Crises continue to displace millions,
depriving them of their basic rights
to security, clean water, food, shelter
and access to healthcare. According
to UNHCR figures, by the end of 2023,
more than 110 million displaced individuals were living in constant fear
for their lives and well-being. Among

development and international collaboration to integrate oral health
into primary healthcare systems for
refugees with the aim of ensuring
that they receive comprehensive care
without financial hardship.
Promoting oral healthcare for
refugees aligns with broader inter
national commitments to UHC and the
UN’s Sustainable Development Goals,
contributing to social inclusion,
equality and global health equity.
Investing in refugee oral health initiatives not only fulfils moral obligations
but also advances the health and
dignity of refugees worldwide.
We repeated the 2019 survey in
2024 and will present the results
in our congress session. We will also
discuss whether there has been any
progress in countries’ activities and
policies related to refugee oral health.
What solutions does the brief propose to tackle the challenges related
to refugee oral health?
To tackle the challenges related
to refugee oral health, the brief emphasises the need for policy changes
and the integration of oral health into
primary healthcare systems. FDI and
UNHCR in this brief advocate for
national and international policies
that ensure comprehensive healthcare
provision, addressing both acute
and preventive oral healthcare needs.
Recognising oral health as an essential component of overall well-being,
the brief highlights the importance
of workforce availability, training and
resource allocation tailored to refugee
populations. It also stresses the importance of developing research
systems to understand critical oral
health needs and track the impact of
interventions, supporting the appropriateness of care through the perspectives of refugees.
In addition, the policy brief details
the actions that need to be taken in
different phases of any refugee crisis.
In terms of preparedness and miti
gation, integrating oral health into
primary healthcare systems is crucial.
This includes increasing support and
funding from governments, international organisations and non-governmental organisations to strengthen
oral health strategies, especially in
low- and middle-income countries.
Developing culturally appropriate
oral healthcare programmes in collaboration with international organisations helps effectively address the
unique needs of diverse refugee pop
ulations. During emergencies, essential oral healthcare services should be
included in initial responses, focusing
on disease management and stabili
sation, education, prevention and the
accessibility of fluoride toothpaste.
Integrating oral healthcare into established public health programmes
ensures comprehensive care during
crises.
Post-emergency, the brief calls
for establishing mechanisms for collecting data on refugee oral health
status to inform evidence-based interventions and policy adjustments.
Empowering refugee communities
by involving them in decision-
making processes, health education
initiatives and advocacy efforts supports long-term sustainability and
resilience.

right for refugees—promoting equity
and access in refugee oral health”
at FDIWDC24. What will some of
the biggest takeaways from your
presentation be?
One of the key takeaways from my
presentation will be the emphasis
that oral healthcare is essential even
in times of displacement. The high
burden of oral disease among refugees, as documented in the limited
data we have, calls for concentrated
efforts to change policies, train the
workforce and improve research and
data in this area.
Oral health is a fundamental human
right, yet refugees often face significant barriers to accessing essential
oral healthcare. Addressing their oral
health needs is crucial for promoting
equity and protecting the most vulner
able populations, ensuring that they
receive necessary care regardless of
socio-economic or migratory status.
Integrating oral health into UHC
frameworks is essential for achieving
comprehensive healthcare for all,
including refugees. By including oral
health services in UHC schemes, governments and international organisations can ensure that refugees have
access to essential dental care without
financial hardship, contributing to their
overall health and well-being.
Improving oral health aligns with
several Sustainable Development Goals,
including Goal 3 (good health and
well-being), Goal 5 (gender equality)
and Goal 10 (reduced inequalities).
By prioritising refugee oral health,
countries can make significant progress
towards achieving these global development objectives and reducing
health inequalities.
In addition, our efforts at individual,
organisational and advocacy levels
must go beyond immediate relief.
We must champion justice, equality,
equity, freedom and peace to address
the root causes of conflicts and displacement. Although ambitious, this
mission is vital. As researchers, dentists and the public health community, it is our responsibility to commit
to this personal mission, contributing
to alleviating the suffering around
the world and building a future where
every community can thrive in health,
well-being and dignity.
How is FDI working to meet the oral
health needs of refugees?
Since launching the Refugee Oral
Health Promotion and Care Project
in 2018, FDI has been dedicated to
enhancing access to oral care services
for refugees globally and locally.
A key initiative was the 2019 survey
on need assessment, which gathered
responses from 78 countries, pro
viding insights into those countries’
activities and national policies related
to refugee oral health and the involvement of national dental associations in these activities. The survey’s
findings were used to develop a
interview
c omprehensive advocacy toolkit. This
toolkit offers practical guidance and
resources, policy recommendations,
clinical guidelines and best practices
for promoting oral health awareness
among refugees.
In addition to data collection,
FDI has fostered international collab
oration with organisations such as
UNHCR, the United Nations Relief and
Works Agency for Palestine Refugees
in the Near East, the World Federation
of Public Health Associations, the
Lancet Migration European Regional
Hub, the Sustainable Health Equity
Movement and the Framework Convention on Global Health Alliance.
We also worked closely with the
International Association for Dental,
Oral, and Craniofacial Research and
the World Health Organization’s oral
health department to address the
unique oral health challenges faced
by refugees and released five joint
policy briefs and statements to draw
attention to their needs. FDI also targets future dentists through lectures,
webinars and workshops offered to
dental students, residents and other
healthcare professionals to raise
awareness and push for advocacy for
improved policies and resources.
Collaborating with local and national dental associations, groundlevel charities and regional organisations has enhanced the impact of
these initiatives. By funding dental
missions and providing resources

and technical support for therapeutic
and preventive interventions, FDI
helps refugees receive the essential
oral healthcare they desperately need.
Four examples that will be presented
in detail in our congress session are
the FDI project with Pakistan Dental
Association to improve access to care
for Afghan refugees in Pakistan, FDI
support to Refugee Crisis Foundation
and Bangladesh Dental Society to
promote hand and oral hygiene
among children in the Rohingya
refugee camp in Bangladesh, the
FDI campaign for medical and dental supplies for Ukraine refugees in
host countries and FDI collaboration
with the Palestinian Dental Asso
ciation and Health-Point Foundation to fund a dental mission to
Middle Eastern refugees on the island
of Lesbos in Greece through the
FDI Smile Grant.
FDI plans to continue advocating
for better access to oral healthcare
among refugees globally and to
empower national dental associations
to get more involved with activities
and policies that promote better oral
health in this vulnerable population.
FDI is using all the means available
and drawing on all its partnerships to
achieve this goal.

Revolutionising oral healthcare with digital dentistry
| FDIWDC24 hosts two special sessions on the impact of digital technologies.
D
igital dentistry is revolutionising dental care with
cutting-edge technologies
that improve the accuracy and efficiency of dental treatments and
maximise the patient experience.
Tools such as intra-oral scanners,
CAD/CAM systems and digital
radiography enhance diagnostic
precision and treatment planning,
leading to fewer errors, better
treatment outcomes and reduced
patient visits. Digital workflows
also streamline v arious aspects of
dental practice, from diagnostics
to treatment execution, increasing
productivity and reducing turnaround times.
One of the key advantages
of digital dentistry is its ability to
customise treatments. With digital tools, dental professionals can
tailor treatment solutions, such as
implants and prostheses, to each
patient’s unique needs. This not
only enhances the effectiveness
of treatments but also improves
aesthetics, leading to higher patient
satisfaction.

been working in private practice for
26 years now and have faced many of
the possible challenges as a business
owner, clinical director and practitioner,
including navigating the transition
from analogue to digital dentistry
with all of its pitfalls, making challenging decisions amid incredible
competition and adversity, and ex
periencing all the good things our
profession has to offer.
2024.world-dental-congress.org
“Dentistry is about treating
one patient at a time with ethics,
responsibility and kindness.”
Ongoing learning is absolutely
crucial in dentistry. The dental field is
constantly evolving with new technologies, techniques and research
findings. As professionals, we must
stay updated to provide the best
care for our patients and to set a
positive example for our peers and
successors. However, this commitment to learning comes with great
sacrifice. It means time away from
friends and family, and while others
may be out partying or engaging in
leisure activities, you have to be
home hitting the books and studying
hard. However, these sacrifices pay
off later in life.
At FDIWDC24, I hope to share
with everyone that it is vital to invest
as much time as possible in learning
and acquiring knowledge to truly
succeed in dentistry. I often say that
the dental profession is a mix of being an athlete in high-performance
sports and an academic because you
have to stay physically and mentally
fit to have a long career and stay up
to date with everything that is going
on to stay ahead of the game.
In the same episode, you described
a dentist as a polymath. What do
you think are the core skills dental
professionals need and main prin
ciples of good dentistry that they
should adhere to throughout their
careers?
Core principles of good dentistry
include a commitment to patient
care, continuing education, ethical
practice and adaptability. Dentists
must be skilled in various aspects of
healthcare, stay curious and be open
to new knowledge, and prioritise the
well-being of their patients above all.
Additionally, we have to be engineers and designers and possess
good manual dexterity. We must
understand analytical and critical
thinking, finance, and strategic and
logistical planning. Being great communicators and salespeople and
maintaining a huge sense of focus to
manage the complexities of being a
dentist are also essential. It is not an
easy job, and mastering clinical skills
is only a small part of our daily tasks.
A huge amount of our time is spent
managing people, and as such, interpersonal and relational skills are of
paramount importance.
What skills or qualities do you hope
every young dentist will strive to
develop?
I hope that every young dentist
will strive to develop strong commu-
nication skills, empathy and a passion
for learning. Technical proficiency is
vital, but the ability to connect with
patients and understand their needs
is equally important. I also hope that
they will focus on doing a good job
first rather than getting famous and
rich quickly. This is a long game, and
most of the younger generation are
very attracted to what they see on
social media that does not portray
the profession in its true light.
Dentistry is about treating one
patient at a time with ethics, re
sponsibility and kindness. Doing an
excellent job is paramount, and you
cannot fast-track that. It is crucial to
have a lot of humility and patience,
not least at the beginning of your
career.
Finally, what is one wish you have
for the younger generation of den
tists, and what is one lesson that
more experienced dentists could
learn from them?
My wish for the younger generation of dentists is that they embrace
the principles of Slow Dentistry early
in their careers. Slow Dentistry emphasises taking the time to ensure
patient safety and comfort, focusing on quality rather than speed.
For more details on this approach,
I encourage young dentists to visit
the Slow Dentistry Global Network
website. It is a basic road map, but
if followed, it will be a strong foun
dation for a solid start in dentists’
careers. If a dentist goes on working
in a clinic that does not allow him or
her to follow these basic principles
that we advocate for on the website,
he or she might want to consider another clinic or start a revolution and
inspire the new boss to change!
For experienced dentists, there
is much to learn from the youthful
enthusiasm and innovative thinking of
young dental professionals. Embracing
change and new ideas can greatly
enhance our dental practice.

titled “Leadership in dentistry: Mindset for
success”, will take place on 14 September

interview
“Interprofessional interaction can improve patient care”
| An interview with Prof. Mark S. Wolff on the integration of dental electronic health records.
Iveta Ramonaite, Dental Tribune International
I
n a rapidly evolving healthcare
landscape, the integration of
medical and dental care is gaining
increasing attention. Prof. Mark S. Wolff,
Morton Amsterdam Dean of the School
of Dental Medicine at the University of
Pennsylvania in Philadelphia in the US,
brings a wealth of knowledge and
insight to this critical discussion.
In this interview, he delves into the
intricacies of merging these two fields
to enhance patient outcomes, especially
as populations age and medical complexities grow. He also discusses the
role of electronic health records (EHRs)
in bridging the gap between dental
and medical professionals and improving patient care globally.
Prof. Wolff, dentistry and medicine are
closely interwoven. Do you believe that
there is a need for further integration
of medical and dental care? If so, why?
Absolutely! There are many reasons why this is important. The first
is that people are living longer, they
have increasingly complex medical
conditions and they are being treated
with a multitude of medications.
Each of these may influence the ability
to deliver safe and ever more complex
dental care to our patients.
Interprofessional interaction can
improve patient care, delivering
better patient-centred care to more
patients. There are large segments of
patients who do not seek dental care.
EHRs will help health providers
recognise that a patient may have
neglected his or her mouth, helping
reduce emergency room visits, loss of
work time owing to dental pain and
even more severe sequelae in other
health outcomes.
How is FDI’s Integrated Electronic
Health Records in Dentistry project
contributing to enhanced inter
professional collaboration and inte
grated healthcare in dentistry?
The project aims to identify best
practices for and barriers to inte
grating dental and medical EHRs.
It will determine how and what
information should be captured
from health records to improve
patient-
centred dental care, addressing the overwhelming amount
of available health information for
dental prac
titioners. Additionally,
the project will identify what dental
information can help other health
practitioners enhance overall patient health, thus contributing to
improved oral health and overall
patient satisfaction.
Some countries, such as Estonia and
Denmark, already provide access
to integrated EHRs for patients.
Why should other countries consider
implementing similar systems?
The key to change is understanding best practices that may exist
already. We have the opportunity to
look at several countries and several
health systems that are already effectively communicating between
oral health and other medical systems.
This will help better inform our
processes.
What factors are slowing down
the integration of dental and
medical EHRs?
There are many barriers to integrating the dental EHR with the
medical EHR, not the least of which is
the fact that there are already many
different EHRs globally, both dental
and medical. These differences frequently
require new integrations with the
various existing systems. Another
difficulty is the cost. Practitioners in
many countries are responsible for
absorbing the cost of EHRs them-

selves. In other countries, there is
a national health plan that includes
all EHRs except for dentistry. The
integration may or may not be
mandated, provided or funded by
the government.
I will speak about the value of integrating dental EHRs with medical EHRs,
such as the ability to improve the quality
of care for all of our patients and the
opportunity for us to increase access to
much-needed dental care in the world.
You are lecturing on the perspectives
of integrating dental and medical
EHRs at FDIWDC24. What are the
key points you plan to discuss in
your presentation?
Editorial note: Prof. Mark S. Wolff will be one of the speakers
in the session titled “Perspectives on integrated dental
and medical electronic health records”, which will be held
on Friday, 13 September, from 11:30 to 12:30. The session
will take place in the Hamidiye hall on the B2 floor of ICC.

World Oral Health Day 2025
| New campaign to be revealed at FDIWDC24.
T
AD
he eagerly anticipated World
Oral Health Day (WOHD) 2025
campaign will be unveiled at
FDIWDC24 during a dedicated launch
event. The session will introduce the
2025 theme and feature case studies
and insightful presentations. Additionally,
the winners of the WOHD 2024 awards
will be announced during the session.
WOHD is celebrated globally every
year on 20 March. Its purpose is to
empower people by providing them
with the tools and knowledge necessary
to prevent and control oral disease, which
affects nearly 3.5 billion people worldwide.
Since its inception in 2007, the cam
paign has grown remarkably, reaching
millions worldwide and encouraging
them to look after their oral health by
adopting a good oral hygiene routine
and managing their risk factors.
Last year at the World Dental
Congress in Sydney in Australia, FDI
launched the new WOHD campaign
theme for 2024–2026, which is “A happy
mouth is ...”. This impactful tag line
aims to simplify oral health by clearly
explaining its benefits in an accessible
way. This year’s WOHD highlighted
the crucial link between oral health
and general well-being, garnering an
outstanding public response, involving
participation by 218 countries and
over 500 activities. Online, the initiative
attracted over 421,000 page views and
46 million video views. Thanks to this
tremendous engagement, WOHD made
a significant impact and successfully
launched Toothie, the beloved beaver
mascot, as the protagonist of an excit
ing movie-inspired campaign.
Entering the second year of its
three-year cycle, the 2025 campaign
promises to build on this foundation
with a new focus area that aligns with
broader developments in the global
health agenda, following on the adop
tion of the World Health Organization’s
resolution on oral health in 2021.
“Through initiatives like WOHD,
we aim to inspire individuals to prior
itise their oral health and experience
the holistic benefits that come with it,”
said Dr Anna Lella, chair of the
WOHD working group. “We are thrilled
to introduce this year’s campaign,
centred around the idea that pre
serving oral health does much more
than benefit just our mouths and
general health; it has an enormous
impact on our overall well-being too,”
she added.
The World Dental Congress is
renowned for gathering dental pro
fessionals from around the globe
and provides the perfect platform
for launching this impactful campaign.
It is an opportunity to inspire the
wider health community to mobilise
more action and improve people’s
lives together.
You are invited to attend this
s ession to learn about the new WOHD
theme and the campaign’s objectives,
learn how to utilise the vast array
of freely available resources and be
inspired to contribute to this global
movement. Every effort, large or small,
helps improve the oral health of
populations worldwide.
The WOHD 2025 launch event will
take place on Thursday, 12 September,
from 14:00 to 16:00 in the Hamidiye
hall on the B2 floor of ICC. For more

Governments get tough on sugary, fatty diets
| Initiatives promoting oral and general health worldwide.
Jeremy Booth, Dental Tribune International
P
oor diets are a leading cause
of non-communicable disease (NCD), and a growing
chorus of health bodies wants to
help consumers to make better
choices. The World Health Organization (WHO) in June launched a
new guideline on fiscal policies
that promote healthier diets, bolstered by scientific evidence that
industry levies and added taxes
in South Africa, Mexico and the UK
have resulted in reduced demand
for unhealthy foods and sugar-
sweetened beverages (SSBs), and
fewer paediatric hospital admissions for carious tooth extractions.
Covering Colombia’s new “junk
food law” and Malaysia’s sugar
advocacy plan, for example, this
article outlines some of the most
significant recent developments
in dietary regulations, based
on a series of interviews with
dental associations conducted
by FDI.
Norway adopts tobacco-
style advertising ban
In June, Norway’s parliament
passed a measure to ban the advertising of unhealthy foods and
beverages to children, a decision
that likens these products to those
containing tobacco or alcohol.
Commended as a significant step
forwards in improving oral and
systemic health in the country, the
ban will aim to cover all channels
of advertising to children and
young people, including social
media. The Norwegian Dental
Association (NDA) told FDI:
“Children are exposed to huge
amounts of marketing, including
for unhealthy food and drink.
Marketing works; that is why it is
necessary to regulate it to protect
children’s health. One of the great
game-changers is the use of social
media and influencers, which
means children are exposed to
this kind of marketing on channels
where parents have little insight
and control. Through this new
legislation, this can be regulated
and restricted.”
The NDA added: “We hope to
reduce the prevalence and incidence of obese people, people
with diabetes [and] people with
malnutrition and [to] prevent
tooth erosion and caries, and many
other things.”
18
It is expected that national
surveys and health data will reveal
benefits of the ban in adolescents
and young adults but also in the
older population. Legislators in the
country are developing a classification system to determine what
constitutes unhealthy food and
drinks, and the NDA says that it
should be based on WHO dietary
guidelines, such as those on the
intake of sugars and sweeteners.
The NDA said that it is important that the ban acts “to influence
health authorities to introduce
more systematic upstream regulations, not only to improve oral
health, but to improve general
health”. A similar ban was proposed
in 2012 and derailed by industry
actors, leading to a compromise of
self-regulation. “Not surprisingly,
this did not work,” the NDA commented.
Colombia and Malaysia
take different approaches
In November last year, Colombia
and Malaysia adopted different
measures that aim to achieve the
same goal: to reduce NCDs and
improve oral and systemic health
by improving their populations’ diets.
Colombia became one of the first
countries in the world to level
added taxes at ultra-processed
foods when it passed its junk food
law or “health tax”. The legislation
introduced tax hikes for a range of
ultra-processed foods and drinks
(such as sweets, SSBs, fried goods
and fast food meals), starting with
a 10% increase that will double in
2025. The law also aims to empower consumers to make better
decisions by introducing mandatory warnings on packaging that
highlight the amount of salt, added
sugars and saturated fats in the
ultra-processed products. Malaysia’s
sugar advocacy plan, instead, has
applied an increase in excise taxes
for SSBs and established sugar
reduction programmes for all age
groups. The plan involves state
institutions, non-governmental organisations,
parents’ groups and
village leaders.
Dr Franco Sassi, professor of
international health policy and
economics at Imperial College
Business School in London, told
The Guardian that Colombia’s
2024.world-dental-congress.org
new law had set a high standard.
He said, “Countries around the
world have been implementing
health taxes, for example, by taxing
tobacco or sugary drinks, but few
have extended them to processed
foods” and added that the combi
nation of financial and information-
related incentives was a model
that could be seen as an example
for other countries.
Colombia’s dental association,
the Federación Odontológica
Colombiana, told FDI: “The journey
to get this law approved was a
long one, starting back in 2016.
However, this process holds great
significance for the overall health
of the Colombian population.”
Malaysia’s approach represents
continued efforts to engage with
the food and beverage industry
to reduce sugar consumption, especially because the country has
the highest incidence of diabetes
in South East Asia. The Malaysian
Dental Association (MDA) commented: “A sugar advocacy plan
encompassing educational initiatives and collaboration with food
item manufacturers and traders
emerges as a crucial step towards
reducing sugar consumption and
addressing the pervasive impact of
[NCDs] on public health.”
“Though we received some
criticism from the nutritional
health sector as to why dentists
[were] advocating [for a] reduction
of sugar intake to tackle obesity,
diabetes and caries, it was well
received by the public, which may
have started the ball rolling against
excessive consumption of added
sugars to food and drinks,” the
MDA added.
Australian alliance
urges policy rethink
Australia needs to adopt a
tougher approach to curbing the
intake of unhealthy foods and
drinks. This is the message from
Rethink Sugary Drink, an alliance
of 21 Australian community and
health associations that includes
the Australian Dental Association
(ADA). The alliance wants the Australian government to apply a 20%
levy to SSBs in the hope that manufacturers will reduce the amount
of sugar in their products. The alli-
ance would aim to use the extra
taxes collected to promote and improve oral health across Australia.
Speaking to FDI, the ADA highlighted 2018 data showing that
SSBs were consumed at least
weekly by 41% of children and
daily by 6% of children. In the adult
population, 36% consumed SSBs
at least weekly and 9% did so daily.
According to national survey results, around 77% of Australians
support a levy on SSBs, provided
that the extra taxes be used to
combat obesity.
Having experienced some
pushback from the beverage industry, the ADA told FDI that partnering with other organisations
had helped to strengthen the message and ensure that it was heard
by lawmakers and the public.
“The evidence from countries who
have introduced a similar levy have
shown effect. The more countries
who advocate for the introduction
of a similar levy, the greater [the
evidence will be]. The ADA will
continue to advocate for a sugary
drink levy through its individual
advocacy and together as part of
the Rethink Sugary Drink alliance.
We encourage other [national
dental associations] to consider
partnering with similar-minded
organisations to create national discussion and influence in decreasing
sugary drink consumption with
the goal of improving their nation’s
health,” the ADA said.
UK soft drinks levy
“not a silver bullet”
Introduced in 2018, the UK’s
soft drinks industry levy (SDIL)
aims to reduce child obesity by
applying a staggered industry levy
to soft drinks sold in the country.
Given that sugar consumption is
the leading cause of caries, the
British Dental Association (BDA)
advocated strongly for the legislation
and supported further measures,
such as advertising restrictions
and clearer labelling.
The BDA told FDI: “Dental caries
[is] largely preventable, and the SDIL
is part of a package of measures
needed to address the complex
problem and overconsumption of
sugar and its effects. For example,
recent research published in
BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health
in November 2023 suggests that
22 months after it was implemented,
[the] SDIL was associated with a
12% reduction in hospital admissions amongst children aged 0 to
18 years.”
However, recent statistics from
the UK show that more needs to be
done, and the BDA told FDI that the
legislation was “not a silver bullet”.
The association cited 2022/2023
hospital admissions data showing
that admissions for carious tooth
extractions in children and young
people aged 0–19 years had increased by 17% compared with
the previous year. “In addition, the
decay-related tooth extraction episode rate for children and young
people living in the most deprived
communities was nearly three and
a half times that of those living in
the most affluent communities,” the
BDA said. In the same year, carious
tooth extractions cost the UK’s National Health Service £40.7 million
(€46.2 million),* and the SDIL was reported to have added £354.9 million
to government coffers.
“Looking at these results, overall there were positive responses
from those who campaigned for
the SDI; however, we all recognise
that further measures, including
the expansion of the levy, are
needed, and we continue to campaign for those and to support efforts
in reducing sugar consumption
and improving oral (and general)
health,” the BDA said.
An article published on 1 June
in the Bulletin of the World Health
Organization reported that UK sugar
sales from soft drinks fell by 34.3%
from 2015 to 2020 but that overall
sales of soft drinks in the period increased by 21.3%. The researchers
recommended that the value of
the SDIL be increased to encourage
more manufacturers to add less
sugar to their products and that
additional measures be adopted.
“To encourage further reformulation among the companies that
have already reformulated their
products, while also addressing
some of the increase in sales due to
aggressive marketing, we recommend
reducing the sugar thresholds,”
the authors wrote.

BeautiBond Xtreme by SHOFU: Etch, prime and bond in one step
Minimum film thickness,
maximum aesthetics
Owing to its special viscosity, BeautiBond Xtreme adapts
very well to surfaces and can be
applied economically and precisely. The adhesive film is only
about 5 μm thick, making this
adhesive with no filler and no
HEMA formulation the system
of choice, particularly for minimally invasive dentistry. Even in
cavities that are small, shallow
or close to the gingiva, it leaves
enough space for highly aesthetic
restorations that are reliably
bonded and indiscernible in the
visible zone.
| The trend in the development
of adhesive systems is towards
increased bond strength and
simplified clinical use. In pursuit
of these goals, SHOFU developed
BeautiBond Xtreme, a powerful
light-curing, self-etch all-in-one
universal adhesive for bonding
direct and indirect restorations.
A truly multitalented adhesive
When reliable bonding is
needed, BeautiBond Xtreme
will play to its strengths. An
innovative acid-resistant silane
coupling agent makes the
chemical composition highly
stable—and the product requires no additional primer.
This chemistry reliably bonds
a wide variety of restorative
materials—composites, precious
and non-precious alloys, glass-
ceramics, alumina and zirconia—
to enamel and dentine. Whether
dentine surfaces are wet or
dry, BeautiBond Xtreme bonds
equally well under both con
ditions.
Besides bonding direct and
indirect restorations made of
light-cured composites, BeautiBond
Xtreme can be used to repair
fractured restorations and seal
tooth preparations, for example.
For all etching techniques
BeautiBond Xtreme adapts
to users’ needs. Irrespective of
whether they are using a self-
etching, total-etching or selective-
etching technique, BeautiBond
Xtreme provides a dependable
bond.
BeautiBond Xtreme is designed to etch, prime and bond
quickly and reliably in one step,
making it an effective and durable alternative to multi-bottle
a dhesive systems.
Inconvenient work steps,
such as shaking or mixing and
repeated application, have been
eliminated to facilitate fast and
dependable bonding.
Storable without refrigeration
BeautiBond Xtreme does
not require special storage. The
adhesive is stable and can be
stored at temperatures between
1 °C and 25 °C without degradation. It does not have to warm
up to room temperature before use and can be used
immediately.
New ergonomic bottle design
The dispensing bottle has
been improved in terms of ergo-
nomics to allow opening, dispensing and closing with just
one hand. The special nozzle
design with smooth surfaces
and edges has been matched to
the viscosity of the material to
deliver very small drops. A 5 ml
bottle provides approximately
260 drops. This ensures economical dispensing and only minimal
loss of material.
BeautiBond Xtreme
and B
EAUTIFIL,
an unbeatable team
BeautiBond Xtreme can be
ideally combined with the
proven direct composite restorative products of the BEAUTIFIL
family. Whether used with the
injectable BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus X,

BEAUTIFIL II LS or the bulk-fill
system BEAUTIFIL-Bulk, BeautiBond
Xtreme reliably bonds the
restorations to the tooth structure.

“Prevention is often under-represented
at dental shows”
| An interview with Curaden’s Dr Ana Bokuchava on transforming oral health.
D
r Ana Bokuchava is a dentist and the international
marketing manager for
Swiss prevention pioneer Curaden.
In this interview, she shares the
company’s vision on advancing
oral health at FDIWDC24 and
how prioritising prevention remains a challenge in modern
dentistry.
Dr Ana Bokuchava, is it still
a challenge to grab people’s
attention with prevention?
The problem with prevention
is that it seems too easy. Prevention is the most important element of maintaining good oral
health but also the one that
seems most basic. At Curaden,
we aim to change the narrative
around prevention with our
iTOP method, which focuses on
perfect individual prophylaxis.
We train dentists and hygienists
to become real leaders in prevention who can coach their
patients to perfect oral health
in turn.

Dr Ana Bokuchava is an ex
perienced professional in the
dental industry.

Earlier this year, Curaden also

uniting thousands of dental
professionals who share our
mission to transform oral healthcare through prevention. In the
guide, 40 global experts share
their insights on prioritising
prevention, supported by the
latest research and World Health
Organization policies.
What can visitors expect at the
Curaden booth?
Prevention is often under-
represented at dental shows.
At FDIWDC24, we will therefore
offer a comprehensive blend of
sorely needed preventive education and the products that
go along with that. What dental
professionals increasingly need
are the tools and knowledge to
promote health and happiness
and maintain a healthy mouth.
Our products are designed
around four key pillars: being
attractive, accepted, effective
and safe.
At the Curaden booth, visitors
will find our typically vibrant,
colourful displays, as well as our
latest innovation: Aligner Foam,
designed to protect and enhance
oral health for aligner users,
orthodontic treatment and daily
oral care. We’ll also be show
casing the Hydrosonic pro
toothbrush, offering a free travel

there to present and share
details about the Aligner Foam
and more.
What is your favourite product?
My favourite product is
Curaprox’s CS 5460 toothbrush,
a nostalgic choice from my
early days as a practising dentist.
I remember its yellow handle
with blue bristles and how its
5,460 soft filaments felt on my
gums. It was a game-changer.
Over the years, I’ve discovered
many fantastic products, like our
interdental brushes and unique
calibration system. Today, the
Aligner Foam too has a special
place in my heart. It’s hard
to choose just one favourite,
as each product contributes
uniquely to our mission of
improving oral health.

Guided Biofilm Therapy
| Oral hygiene at home as part of oral prophylaxis.
Dr Neha Dixit, Switzerland
O
ral disease prevention consists
of two pillars: individual home
care and professional prophylaxis. For good long-term oral health,
both components need to be respected.
The evidence-based Guided Biofilm
Therapy (GBT) protocol by EMS has
adapted Axelsson and Lindhe’s systematic prophylaxis approach to today’s
scientific advances and technological
progress.1 As the most common oral diseases are associated with the presence
of dysbiotic biofilms,2 the continued
removal of these biofilms through appropriate home care and professional
measures is essential to maintain oral health.
For long-term oral health, patients need
a customised care package covering
professional biofilm and calculus management, as well as individual education
and instruction in oral hygiene.
offer ideal local conditions for biofilm
to become established and mature.
Interproximal biofilm remains after
brushing, particularly in the premolar
and molar regions.5 To prevent this,
interdental brushes are highly recommended, alongside dental floss
for crowded teeth. Professional instruction on how to use both correctly is
essential.
GBT with AIR-FLOWING, employing the
AIRFLOW Prophylaxis Master with
the AIRFLOW MAX handpiece—which
boasts the patented Laminar Flow
Technology—and AIRFLOW PLUS powder.
Any remaining calculus is removed
with the original PIEZON NO PAIN PS
or PI MAX instrument (Step 6).6
Risk factors
and oral hygiene
Is there such a thing as
perfect oral hygiene?
Regular mechanical removal of
biofilm usually helps keep the biofilm
in balance—in a symbiotic state. In
addition to avoiding risk factors such
as poor diet, smoking and stress, good
oral hygiene makes a decisive contribution to preventing a transition to
dysbiosis. The guidelines on gingivitis
prevention (currently undergoing revision) recommend manual or electric
toothbrushes supplemented by aids
for mechanical interdental cleaning and
rinsing solutions.3, 4 These are tailored
to the patient’s individual risk, personal
needs and manual dexterity.
Like other important aspects of
life, the key to good oral hygiene is
regular training. Disclosing tablets
can be part of a plan for effective
personal biofilm control. Regular use
helps patients learn to identify areas
where better cleaning is needed and
how best to go about this cleaning.
The clinical protocol of GBT includes
biofilm disclosure and patient motivation (Steps 2 and 3) as key to changing
behaviour on a lasting basis.
The cornerstones of continued
prevention of oral disease are good
oral hygiene and the professional
management of biofilm and calculus.
Both are supported by the best pos
sible control of risk factors as part of
systematic professional prophylaxis
through GBT.7 Individual advice, instruction and encouragement from
the practice team help patients become experts in their own daily oral
hygiene and thus achieve optimal
oral health in the long term.
Toothbrushes are unable to reach
interdental spaces. Such areas thus
Serving also as clinical quality control, this disclosure step is an essential
part of professional biofilm management. Only biofilm that is visible—
disclosed—is removed in Step 4 of

important historical site in Istanbul
by foot. For those wanting a more
relaxed and scenic experience, the

way to discover and explore the

sanctuary, which boasts a rich history that can be traced back to the
Byzantine Empire. Büyükada promises a retreat from the bustling
streets of Istanbul. Rent a bicycle to

historic streets, adorned with lavish
Ottoman-era mansions, and meander
along scenic pathways to stumble
upon the perfect spot to gaze out
over the Sea of Marmara. A popular

to the Istanbul Archaeology Museums
is absolutely essential. Established
in the late nineteenth century as
Türkiye’s first museum, the museum
complex is divided into three sections:
archaeology, Ancient Orient and
Islamic art. A sojourn through Istanbul’s old city is not complete without
a visit here, and to say the complex’s
treasure trove of relics is well stocked
would be an understatement: the
museums hold a large collection of
Ancient Greek, Roman and Turkish
artefacts, as well as objects discovered
in the Balkans, Africa, Mesopotamia
and the Middle East.
