INDEX Conferences and Exhibitions

Since its inception in 1996, AEEDC
Dubai has brought the most innovative minds and brands to the stage
and floor. Every year, the event unites
stakeholders from across the dental
spectrum to advance their knowledge
and network with like-minded peers.
With every edition, the organisers
aim to go beyond the usual approach
to continuing education. With all the
scientific activities, including pre-conference courses, hands-on workshops,
competitions and poster presentations,
it is an opportunity for participants
to become better dental professionals
and clinicians. They also gain valuable
continuing medical education credits.
Boasting hundreds of international
companies distributed over nine ex
hibition halls and 16 national pavilions (the largest being China, Italy,
Germany and South Korea), AEEDC
Dubai Exhibition provides a platform
to engage customers, demonstrate
products, drive brand awareness,
conduct face-to-face business and
make sales. But the networking pos
sibilities do not stop there: during the
coffee breaks, luncheons and AEEDC
Dubai Night activities, such as the
gala dinner, the event organisers
have allowed plenty of time for participants to exchange ideas and discuss the happenings of the day.
Tariq Khoory, AEEDC Dubai honorary chairman, said: “It is immensely
satisfying to witness the phenomenal

n The 23rd AEEDC was considered a success
by exhibitors, participants and organisers
alike. The three-day event, which was attended by thousands of people from 155 countries around the world, reaffirmed that the
exhibition offers an ideal opportunity for companies to showcase their dental innovations,
expand their businesses and seek potential
collaboration opportunities.

cation, improvement of skills and exchange of
technical expertise with aspiring dentists and
clinical practitioners. In this regard, AEEDC
Dubai hosted the GCC Preventive Dentistry
session, aimed at encouraging dental care
among those living in the Gulf Cooperation
Council region while also raising awareness
about the need to maintain good dental hygiene, particularly among children.

Commenting at the conclusion of AEEDC
2019, AEEDC Executive Chairman Dr Abdul
Salam al-Madani said: “We are indeed delighted to witness the successful completion
of yet another edition of the AEEDC Dubai
conference and exhibition, which has reached
many milestones over the past few years and
achieved a remarkable participation this year
as well by renowned dentists, specialists and
speakers from all over the world.”

In line with AEEDC Dubai’s goal of raising
the bar of excellence in dentistry in the region
and inspiring the regional and global dental
fraternity to reach new milestones, AEEDC
Dubai Night, held on the last evening at the
Grand Hyatt Dubai hotel, sought to recognise
the unique contributions of the leading figures in dentistry in the region. The acknowledgement reflects the achievements of dental
specialists and professionals who have laid
the groundwork for a robust and stable oral
and dental healthcare industry in the region.
During the ceremony, AEEDC Dubai presented the AEEDC Dubai Personality of the
Year Award to Major General Dr Raafat Riad,
chief of the Egyptian Armed Forces’ oral and
dental healthcare services, for his outstanding contributions in the field of oral health.

“On this occasion, I am happy to announce
that AEEDC Dubai 2019 surpassed our expectations and completed business deals worth
$3.1 billion and this is largely due to the continuous growth of healthcare infrastructure
in the GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] region,
massive investments in the regional healthcare sector and quick access to advanced
medical technologies. Also, I would like to
take this opportunity to thank our esteemed
guests, speakers, partners, exhibitors, visitors,
and the 1,500 ambassadors of AEEDC Dubai
from the region and the world who are supporting AEEDC Dubai to rank first by 2020
as the world’s largest dental conference and
exhibition,” Madani continued.
But it is not just the exhibition that made
2019 a stellar event in the Middle East, North
Africa and South Asia region. With so many
developments taking place in the field of
dentistry, the board members and organisers
recognise the need for world-class dental edu-

For the first time at the event, a series
of competitions and entertaining activities,
named AEEDC Dubai Stars, sought to foster a
competitive spirit among celebrity dentists, influencers, experts and industry professionals.
The schedule included a panel discussion by
experts, who shared their experiences, success stories, and lifestyle tips and tricks.
The expectations for a similarly successful event in 2020 are high. Madani stated in
his welcome message: “I wish you all a great
experience in Dubai and invite you to join our
efforts in making AEEDC Dubai the largest
dental gathering in the world.” 7

Children with Down’s syndrome have poorer oral health
 Improved medical care has led to a
higher life expectancy for individuals
with Down’s syndrome, resulting in
an increased need for dental care
among this patient group. With reported incidences of one in 319 live
births among UAE children compared with one in 602 live births
among expatriate children, Dubai
shows the highest prevalence of
Down’s syndrome in the Middle East
and North Africa region. Hence, researchers from Hamdan Bin Mohammed College of Dental Medicine at
Mohammed Bin Rashid University of
Medicine and Health Sciences in Dubai
have assessed the oral health status
of Down’s syndrome children in Dubai
in order to provide proper care for
them. They found that these children
generally have a poorer dental health
status than their peers.
For the evaluation, 106 Down’s
syndrome children and 125 children
in the control group, aged between
4 and 18, were recruited from special
needs centres and private and public
schools in Dubai. A dental examination to record decayed, missing and
filled teeth (DMF index) in primary
and permanent dentition, as well as
a simplified oral hygiene index and
calculus index, was carried out. In
addition, occlusal, dentofacial and

soft-tissue abnormalities, and erosion
were assessed.
“The number of teeth missing, decayed or filled [in Down’s syndrome
children] was significantly higher
than in healthy children in our sample,” co-author Dr Mawlood Kowash,
associate professor of paediatric
dentistry at the university, told the
newspaper The National. Overall, the
mean DMF index in the permanent
dentition was 3.32 for the Down’s
syndrome children, compared with
2.16 for the controls.
Regarding oral hygiene status,
the researchers did not find a considerable difference between the two
groups, whereas the calculus index
was significantly higher among children with Down’s syndrome. In addition, these children showed a significantly higher proportion of open bite
(60.0 per cent compared with 11.2 per
cent) and other occlusal problems
and a higher prevalence of tooth erosion (34.0 per cent compared with
15.3 per cent) than the control group.
“People with Down’s syndrome
can have a lot of health problems,
and the parents or guardians can become overwhelmed with that. Teeth
can come at the bottom of the list,”

Study compares 106 children with Down’s syndrome with 125 controls in Dubai.



Researchers have found that children with Down’s syndrome generally have a poorer health status than their peers and show a higher prevalence of dental caries.

said Kowash. According to him, the
discipline of special care dentistry
to treat patients with intellectual
disabilities has not yet evolved in
the UAE to the extent that it has
elsewhere.
“So we have to raise awareness,
we have to educate parents but also
our medical colleagues, so these patients can be referred to us and we
can treat them before cavities and
other problems develop. Awareness

is very, very important,” continued
Kowash.
Despite the high caries rate
among Down’s syndrome patients,
they had received more restorations
and dental treatment compared with
the control group, suggesting that
Down’s syndrome children had better
access to dental care. Therefore, the
research team recommends establishing “proper prevention and community oral healthcare programmes

that target special needs children
in Dubai” and conducting further
research in this field in order to gain
a better understanding of the patients’
oral health and treatment needs.
The study, titled “Oral health
status among children with Down
syndrome in Dubai, United Arab
Emirates”, was published in the
May/June 2019 issue of the Journal
of International Society of Preventive
and Community Dentistry. 

“Lasers should form part of every dental clinic’s armamentarium”
An interview with Dr Josep Arnabat-Domínguez, Spain.
n After graduating in medicine in
1981, Dr Josep Arnabat-Domínguez
attended the University of Barcelona
for two more years, completing his
specialisation in dentistry. He has
now been an associate professor at
the university’s dental school for over
25 years, but performs the majority
of his work at his private practice,
which he opened more than 37 years
ago and where he treats patients with
dental lasers daily. As a founding
member of the Sociedad Española de
Láser y Fototerapia en Odontología
[Spanish society of laser and phototherapy in dentistry], Arnabat-
Domínguez is considered an active
advocate in the field, and at AEEDC
2020, he will hold a lecture on laser-
assisted oral and dental treatments.
Dr Arnabat-Domínguez, the title of
your presentation is “Er,Cr:YSGG
laser-assisted oral and dental treatments”. Why did you pick this topic?
The title of my lecture was proposed by the scientific committee,
since we have been working with this
type of laser for more than 20 years,
both at the university and in our
private practice in Barcelona. At the
University of Barcelona, we have carried out various scientific and clinical
studies that support the correct use
of this type of wavelength for different dental treatments. That is why
I think it may be interesting for congress attendees to be able to see in
summary the different applications
of this type of laser for their daily
practice. We are going to show clinical cases in support of the applications, from various published scientific studies, in order to combine clinical experiences with the scientific
evidence that has published in journals of a high scientific standard.
What do you think are the main
advantages of the Er,Cr:YSGG laser?
What are its limitations?
We have been able to assess the
different advantages of this type of
laser technology. This type of laser

dentistry programme at the University of Barcelona. This master’s degree is offered within the framework
of the European Union together with
five other European universities, the
University of Liège (Belgium), University of Parma and Sapienza University of Rome (Italy), Victor Babeş
University of Medicine and Pharmacy
(Romania) under the name of EMDOLA
(European Master Degree in Oral
Laser Applications). These six uni
versities offer a coherent, up-to-date
European joint study programme with
the objective of sharing, increasing,
collating and extending competencies
in the field of oral laser applications.
We have published more than 25 scientific articles in journals indexed in
Journal Citation Reports, and we have
given lectures and courses in various
countries.

For Dr Josep Arnabat-Domínguez laser dentistry is the future. (Images: © Dr Josep Arnabat-Domínguez)

provides us with a wide variety of applications in dentistry, since it is a
very versatile one and can be used in
both hard and soft tissue in the oral
cavity. The reduction in the amount
of anaesthetic used and, in some
cases, the possibility of performing
some types of treatments without anaesthesia are advantages that must
be taken into account. Soft-tissue
treatments with the Er,Cr:YSGG laser
have been shown to produce a decrease in pain and oedema, which is
very important in the postoperative
period, as it significantly reduces the
need for analgesic medication. Also,
owing to the laser’s bactericidal property, postoperative infections are usually almost nil and the healing of the

surgical wound, which is usually by
secondary intention, is very effective.
Like any technique, it has its limitations, since it is a laser that is absorbed very superficially and is little
absorbed by haemoglobin.
What are the main objectives of your
lecture?
The main objective is to give a
general overview of the different applications of this type of wavelength
in the most common treatments performed by dentists daily. Therefore,
its applications in the field of conservative dentistry will be shown,
covering the restoration of cavities in
enamel and dentine in endodontics,
for which we will present clinical

cases accompanied by our latest scientific work published on this topic.
We will also cover the different applications in periodontics, as well in
both soft-tissue surgery and peri
apical surgery, and finally, we will
talk about the possibility of using this
type of laser in implantology, both to
perform the second surgical stage
and to treat peri-implantitis.
Comparing dental lasers from when
you started your career to now, what
have the greatest developments
been?
Since its beginnings in 1992,
laser technology has improved a lot.
I remember the first Er,Cr:YSGG laser
that we were lucky enough to be able
to use at the University of Barcelona:
it was a laser with very different
technical characteristics than today.
Technological advances over time
have resulted in smaller and much
more efficient lasers than in the past;
because of that, we have been able to
increase the number of procedures
that are performed with lasers in the
dental field. The fibres through which
the beam of laser light is transmitted
have been improved, being much
more flexible and manoeuvrable
than before, as have the different tips
and handpieces, which make it pos
sible to reach areas that were pre
viously inaccessible. The new radial
and lateral emission tips have sig
nificantly increased the treatment
results in different fields, such as
endodontics, periodontics and implantology.
What kind of training is available
for aspirant dentists to learn about
lasers from the start?
Currently, Dr Antoni España and
I together direct the master in laser

AEEDC Dubai 2020 · 4 February 2020

Is there anything else you would
like to add?
Nowadays, lasers should form
part of every dental clinic’s armamentarium. The advantages for our
patients mean that, if we want to give
the best possible treatment, the use
of this technology is essential. Now
adays in modern dentistry, where
there are many new technologies,
lasers have a very important role.
However, it is necessary for dentists
who use these technologies to be well
trained and have knowledge of what
a laser is, how it works and what type
of laser to use for each application,
since not all lasers produce the same
effects on different types of tissue.
Furthermore, the same laser can
produce different effects depending
on the parameters that are used and
the user requires knowledge of this.
Training is fundamental to make
proper use of laser to treat our patients. The industry has understood
this demand and currently, together
with various scientific associations
and universities, different courses
and congresses are being held to
train all those dentists who want to
learn how to use laser technology.
Finally, I would like to express
my gratitude to AEEDC for hosting
the World Federation for Laser Dentistry world congress at this event,
at which the invited speakers will
show to the dental community the
new advancements, techniques and
protocols that are currently being
used in laser dentistry. 7

WFLD 2020 DUBAI CONGRESS
As part of the conference programme, AEEDC Dubai is collaborating with the World Federation for
Laser Dentistry (WFLD) to showcase
the latest research in the field of
laser dentistry and to provide a learning
platform for dental professionals.

The digital revolution has begun.

n At AEEDC Dubai 2020, the Digital
Dentistry Society (DDS) is hosting
a three-day congress that features
23 lecturers who will be sharing their
knowledge about the entire digital
workflow in dentistry. New tech
nologies, like ceramic printing and
bioprinting, and future technologies
based on artificial intelligence will
form the focus of the meeting and
the protocol SCAN-PLAN-MAKE-DONE
will be a topic of discussion.
The DDS believes that sharing
validated and contemporary para
meters and workflows will result in
faster, more predictable and aesthet
ically improved results in digital
dentistry. The mission of this nonprofit society, which is currently run
by DDS President Dr Carlo Mangano,

is to be a source of reference for
digital dental technologies, to validate them through studies, to encourage their implementation in
a coherent workflow and to spread
knowledge about them through
education.
In an interview with Dental
T ribune International, former DDS Pres
ident Dr Henriette Lerner explained
that the partnership with AEEDC is
very important for both parties: “The
cooperation was born from the syn
ergetic vision that there is a need for
systematic education and for spreading technologies.” Lerner went on to
say that each major conference is a
chance for exposure. She added that,
as AEEDC is one of the largest platforms in the Middle East and Africa

region, DDS is “excited to partner
with this big player”. “Our DDS scientific vision is to target the research
and implementation of current technologies, such as printing, bioprinting, artificial intelligence and machine learning. This is the future of
our profession,” she answered, when
asked about the most exciting areas
in the change from analogue to digital dentistry.
Besides board members from all
over the world, the DDS network
includes national embassies and
partner societies in over 45 countries.
Additionally, a wide network of active and honorary members helps
with the provision of structured continuing education in the real and
virtual world.

Furthermore, the DDS works in
cooperation with Goethe University
Frankfurt am Main on a part-time
MSc. programme in esthetic dentistry (www.goethe-dental-school.de/
master-programs/msc-in-esthetic-
dentistry) and on an MSc. programme in dental technology
(www.goethe-dental-school.de/mdt).
The international programme has a
multidisciplinary focus and offers advanced academic training in the field
of dental technology. It is a 120 European Credit Transfer System part-time
programme, taught entirely in the
English language.

Dental profession to be localised, says Saudi labour minister
First phase will target localisation of a quarter of institutions.
n Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Labour
and Social Development Ahmed bin
Suleiman Al-Rajhi has announced a
decision, taken in partnership with
the Ministry of Health, to gradually
localise the dental profession in the
country. This is planned to happen in
two stages.
The first phase will target the localisation of 25 per cent of the institutions with effect from 26 March
2020, and the second phase will target the localisation of 30 per cent
of the institutions with effect from
20 August 2020. Arab News reported
that the ministry’s spokesperson,
Khaled Aba Al-Khail, said that the decision to localise the dental profession would apply to institutions

where the number of expatriates
exceeded three dentists.
The decision is in line with the
initiative to localise professions, one of
the ministry’s projects in partnership
with the Ministry of Health, the Council
of Saudi Chambers, the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties and the
Human Resources Development Fund.
According to the news outlet, “the aim
is to provide suitable job opportunities
for citizens in vital disciplines”. It
stated: “Al-Khail pointed out that the
ministry would take all necessary
measures to ensure the institutions’
commitment to implement the decision”.
This is not the first time that
doctors in Saudi Arabia have been
affected by such a law. In 2017, government hospitals were forbidden
to hire more expatriate doctors, as
too many Saudi medical professionals
were unemployed. 7

maxillofacial surgery in 2016, MSc
in 2009 and BDS in 2005. I currently
work in the Kuwait Army Hospital
and am the general manager of
32 dental clinics. I joined the KDA
in 2006 as a member of the social
committee and thereafter was head
of the scientific committee, treasurer and then general secretary,
and am now president of the association.
Could you please tell us about the
KDA and what it stands for, its major
activities and who it represents?
The KDA is the only association
that represents dentists in Kuwait.
All dentists working in the country
should join it to facilitate their work
in the country and to participate in
its scientific activities and share in
the benefits thereof.

The KDA has been active since 1974.
How has it developed since its foun
dation?
The KDA has developed scientifically and in many other related fields,
especially in the last ten years, and
this has been noted socially and in
the media.
What motivated you to accept your
appointment as president of the
KDA?
I had been a board member of
the KDA for quite a while already and
my colleagues’ decision to choose me
to represent them as president will,
I hope, place me in a better position
to serve the profession well.

As I mentioned, we are now
focusing more on our scientific programmes. We have weekly scientific
activities, such as lectures and workshops, and have started working with
CAPP [Centre for Advanced Professional Practices] to increase our scientific activity. Our main conference is
held every two years in November—
the next one will be this year—but
we are planning to hold it yearly. We
have also begun to organise the first

Kuwaiti dentists’ conference. The idea
is to have a conference with all the
speakers being from Kuwait only.
How do you view dentistry in the
Middle East, particularly in Kuwait
and the Gulf Cooperation Council
(GCC) region? What are some of the
key notable indicators we should be
aware of?
Dentistry in the GCC region has
developed more in the last five years

than ever before, to the extent that
we can be compared to countries in
Europe and America and indeed
worldwide. In Kuwait, we have many
achievers in the dental field and a good
dental culture and have attracted
many patients from different countries.
Our aim in the KDA is to increase
dentists’ knowledge and experience
by organising more scientific activities,
and I believe that we will develop
even more in the future. 7

n Dental Tribune MEA recently had
the opportunity to meet for a conversation with Dr Mohammad Dashti,
president of the Kuwait Dental Association (KDA), and asked him about
his new role and the KDA and its
future plans.

As general secretary of the KDA you
were actively involved in the asso
ciation. What has changed since you
became president?
Firstly, I changed the way we deal
with any matter related to dentistry
by communicating with dentists and
the ministries to solve it. I now focus
more on our scientific activities and
am working on new guidelines for
our profession.
Our readers are interested to learn
more about the KDA’s plans for the
future. What are your main goals,
and what does the association wish
to achieve?

The economy in Kuwait is thriving and so is the dental sector.

GSK and Neopharma launch first batch of UAE-made medicines
Emirate strives to become regional hub for pharmaceutical manufacture.

n GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a global health
care company, and Neopharma, a leading global pharmaceutical company
based in the UAE, have launched the
first locally produced batch of medicines.
The aim of the partnership is to create
manufacturing opportunities in the UAE.
The partnership, announced in
April 2019, established Neopharma as
GSK’s third-party manufacturer for
handling the secondary packaging process (the final manufacturing stage) for
six of GSK’s most prescribed medicines
in the UAE. This first batch includes
35,000 packages of medicine manu
factured at Neopharma’s plant in
Abu Dhabi, and these are to be readily
available to UAE patients within the
next few weeks.

The launch was attended by representatives of GSK, Neopharma, the British embassy and the Abu Dhabi Department of Health, among others.

AEEDC Dubai 2020 · 4 February 2020

Sameh el-Fangary, GSK vice president and general manager for the Gulf

cluster, said: “We are delighted to see
the outcomes of our partnership with
Neopharma already yielding results.
As a result of this collaboration, the
batch will reach UAE shelves two months
earlier than planned. This is the most
recent example of GSK’s commitment
to ensuring a continuous supply of our
high-quality, safe, and reliable medicines
for patients in the UAE to access.”
Dr B.R. Shetty, founder and chairman of Neopharma, added: “It is wonder
ful to witness another landmark moment in our collaboration with GSK.
We are delighted to partner with GSK
to be able to provide local patients
better access to medicines. By manufac
turing the medicine locally, Neopharma
has reinforced its commitment to maintaining global quality and manufacturing standards that are complying with
stringent regulatory requirements.” 7

Application process simplified
for dentists looking to work in Dubai

Dubai Healthcare City announced changes.
n According to the Dubai Clinical
Services Capacity Plan, the demand
for dentists in Dubai is expected to
increase by 156 per cent by 2025.
In a bid to avoid a significant shortage of skilled professionals, guidelines for general dentists from several
countries who would like to work in
the city have been amended.
Currently, Dubai Healthcare City
accepts dental healthcare professionals from more than 100 countries.
Dentists who are interested in working in Dubai are required to pass
an online examination, have at least
three years’ work experience and
possess the necessary English competency. In the new guidelines, general
dentists who have been certified by
the Joint Commission on National
Dental Examinations in the US,
the Australian Dental Council, the
National Dental Examining Board
of Canada or the Dental Council of
Ireland are now no longer required
to sit the previously mandatory examination.

In the study, Yannick Binvel, president for the global industrial market
at Korn Ferry, said that the talent
crunch that is predicted to hit places
like the Middle East is a political prob-

lem too. He explained that equal opportunities to learn and develop need
to be offered to everyone, and whether
individuals choose to employ such
opportunities is the critical factor. 7
AD

AEEDC, Booth 714, hall 7

Speaking about the new guidelines, Dr Ramadan al-Blooshi, CEO
of Dubai Healthcare City Authority—
Regulatory, explained that simplifying the application process for general dentists is a major benefit.
“A general dental practitioner is
trained to deliver a range of services,
procedures, and treatments, while
a specialist covers a narrower field.
Having a healthy number of general
dentists within our ecosystem allows
for the availability of faster appointments with less waiting time, helping
create a better patient experience.”
A 2017 study titled “National
survey of the oral health status of
schoolchildren in Dubai, UAE”, it
found that the prevalence of caries
in the 5- to 6-, 12- to 15-, and 15- to
17-year-old age groups was high, and
the researchers consequently recommended that a well-structured prevention programme be put in place to
combat the issue. In 2018, the Dubai
Health Authority launched DentOral.
As part of the initiative, a comprehensive health education programme for
the public, and schoolchildren and
their parents on how to look after
their teeth through proper brushing,
a healthy diet and regular visits to
the dentist was implemented. However, as awareness grows, so too will
the demand for dentists and the
workforce related to the industry.
In a 2018 study titled Future
of Work—the Global Talent Crunch,
management and consulting firm
Korn Ferry predicted that the global
skills shortage could result in un
realised annual revenue of US$8.452
trillion by 2030. In the study, it was
predicted that all European Middle
Eastern and African markets would
experience skilled worker deficits by
2030, resulting in unrealised output
of US$1.906 trillion across the region.

Researchers call for thoughtful waste management in dentistry
Dental practices should take steps to properly discard plastic, mercury, lead and silver.

n During Harvard University’s re
cent Worldwide Week, researchers
at Harvard School of Dental Medi
cine (HSDM) drew the participants’
attention to the correlation between
environmental health and oral
health through the lens of health
equity. The team believes that den
tistry has a profound impact on
our planet’s environmental health,
which, in turn, affects oral health.
Therefore, it is crucial to correctly
manage dental waste.
The team, led by Dr Donna
Hackley, an instructor in oral health
policy and epidemiology at HSDM,
found that a surprising source of
the pollution that compromises food,
water and air quality is the interna
tional dental community. In a recent
summary of their research, the team
cited plastic, mercury, lead and sil
ver waste among the most common
pollutants produced by the dental
industry. “These pollutants threaten
the health of organisms and humans,
especially the developing young, as
well as the stability of various econ
omies,” Hackley said.

ple, toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes
and toothpaste are frequently used
dental products that are typically
made of or contain plastic and are
difficult to recycle. “Globally, 23 billion
toothbrushes and their wrappings
are discarded every year,” the
team reported. “Toothpaste tubes
are also not recyclable, as they typ
ically contain an interior layer of
aluminium.”

patient chairs can generate up to
4.5 g of mercury daily and this may
pose a serious threat if the mercury
is improperly disposed of. Addition
ally, products consisting of silver
and lead are found in radiographic
materials, including films and devel
oper solutions, and are of particular
concern in countries that cannot
properly manage dental waste dis
posal.

According to the researchers,
plastic waste is a particularly com
mon type of dental waste. For exam

Mercury, lead and silver also
pose a threat to our ever-changing
environment. According to Hackley,

“The international dental com
munity must commit to preventing
and reducing dental waste. Any ad

Dental professionals are under increasing pressure to understand and adhere to clinical waste regulations.

verse environmental impact result
ing from our professional activities
disproportionately affects the most
vulnerable populations globally.
This is about equity. Thoughtful
waste management is no longer just
a nice idea, but a moral and ethical
imperative to protect the environment
and every organism living in it,”
Hackley concluded.
To tackle waste in dentistry,
Hackley and her team are encourag
ing dental offices to estimate the to
tal amount of domestic and medical

waste they produce and to deter
mine ways to reduce it. As new, en
vironmentally friendly products be
come available, Hackley hopes that
dental offices will find alternatives
to common plastic products. A pre
liminary waste audit conducted by
students from the university revealed
that primary sources of waste in
the preclinical laboratory include
gloves, disposable gowns, masks,
paper and paper towels.
Climate change has become an
omnipresent topic and was also on
the agenda at the 2019 World Health
Summit, which was held in Berlin
at the end of last year. It is one of
the world’s leading conferences
on global health issues and drew
300 speakers and 2,500 participants from 100 nations. One of the
speakers at the event was German
general practitioner Dr Eckart von
Hirschhausen, who addressed his
peers directly: “Doctors are there to
protect lives, to point out health haz
ards and, if need be, to transmit bad
news. And the bad news is that we
are destroying the livelihoods of
us humans on earth forever. Unfor
tunately, this is scientifically proven,
but by no means is everyone aware
of it.” 7

COMPOSAN LCM AND COMPOSAN LCM FLOW LIGHT-CURING MICRO-HYBRID COMPOSITES
n Composan LCM is a universal
light-curing micro-
hybrid composite
suitable for fillings
in the anterior and
posterior area and
the inlay technique.
Its high filler con-

tent and well-balanced resin matrix
guarantee minimal abrasion, low
polymerisation shrinkage, high compressive and transverse strength.

Perfect aesthetic results
Composan LCM convinces by
its great colour stability, excellent

polishing property, perfect adaptation to the natural tooth colour and
tooth-like brilliance. Therefore, restorations performed with Composan
LCM meet the highest aesthetic requirements of dentists and patients.

Also available
as a flowable version
Composan LCM flow is suitable for various indications, such
as minimally invasive preparation,
restoration of Class III–V cavities,
and extended fissure sealing.
Moreover, it is ideal for linings under composites owing to an easy
application and a perfect adaption
to the cavity walls/tooth substance. Composan LCM flow blocks
out irregularities of the cavity
floor and reinforces the bonding
layer. Owing to its elastic properties, the material is also highly
stress-absorbing. Its low viscosity
provides a good wetting capability
and highly aesthetic results. 7

n The international Istanbul Dental
Equipment and Materials Exhibition
(IDEX) is one of the three largest
trade fairs in oral and dental
healthcare in the Eurasia region.
IDEX 2020, the 17th edition of the fair,
will display the latest technologies
and innovations in this field from
9 to 12 April at the city’s CNR EXPO
in Yeşilköy. The exhibition welcomes
exhibitors and buyers from all over

REDEFINING ROOT CANAL TREATMENTS: DENTSPLY SIRONA LAUNCHES THE TRUNATOMY SOLUTION
n Combining Swiss precision and
advanced engineering, the TruNatomy
range offers clinicians a solution that
provides efficient performance and
increased respect for the tooth anatomy, combined with a smooth user-
experience.
TruNatomy’s unique combination
of features was developed in part
nership with skilled practitioners,
Drs George Bruder and Ove Peters,
leaders in the field of endodontics,

working in partnership with the
Dentsply Sirona’s Maillefer research
and development engineering teams.
TruNatomy capitalises on Dentsply
Sirona’s 130 years of experience in
manufacturing files like the ProTaper
and WaveOne Gold families. Combining
Swiss precision and advanced engineering, the TruNatomy range offers
clinicians a solution that provides
efficient performance and increased
respect for the tooth anatomy, combined with a smooth user experience.

Additionally, there is a growing
interest in maximising the preser
vation of dentine in endodontics
and TruNatomy addresses that need,
thanks to its slim, highly flexible alloy
wire and regressive taper. TruNatomy
enables clinicians to provide a smooth
predictable root canal treatment even
in cases with curved canals or limited straight-line access. TruNatomy
is available with matching Conform Fit
gutta-percha points, paper points and
irrigation needle.

“Our developments in consumables provide solutions to dentists’ challenges in filling treatment and endodontics as well as with the emerging
digital dentistry,” said Thomas Leonardi,
Group Vice President of Consumables,
Dental Product Group, at Dentsply
Sirona. “And, as a result we expect reduced chair time for our patients and
improved patient satisfaction.”
With a unique set of features,
TruNatomy offers a host of benefits,
including better performance and
more space for debridement and
debris removal thanks to a new file
design with an enhanced off-centred
cross section and a slimmer NiTi wire.
Its higher speed of operation provides
greater efficiency with less torque.
There is increased respect for
the natural tooth anatomy thanks
to its superior canal centring ability.
The instrument adjusts to the canal
(and not the other way around).

with an increased respect for the natural anatomy of the canal while preserving structural integrity. (Image: © Dentsply Sirona)

AEEDC Dubai 2020 · 4 February 2020

Preservation of the tooth integrity is achieved by the combination of
the file geometry, the slim wire and
its increased flexibility together with

a shorter 9.5 mm handle that perfectly fits micro-head handpieces,
making it possible to perform efficient root canal therapy without

n Curaden has launched
CURAPROX Perio Plus+. This pio
neering range is chlorhexidine, but
not as you know it—the mouth
washes, gel and toothpaste are all
naturally enhanced and promote
an approach with minimal side
effects. The secret? CITROX.

AEEDC, Booth 714, hall 7

Maximal effect...
Research led by Prof. David
Williams at Cardiff University in
the UK has proven the unique
synergy between chlorhexidine and
CITROX—a natural antibacterial agent
extracted from bitter oranges. “The
active agents in CITROX can attack
multiple sites of a microbial cell,
leading to improved deactivation
and making the agent effective at
inhibiting microorganisms known
to cause infections in the oral
cavity,” said Williams. “Our research
has shown that a combination of
chlorhexidine and CITROX was de
monstrably more effective at inhib
iting bacteria, compared with using
either of these ingredients alone.”

...minimal side effects
Perio Plus+’s unique mix of
 ITROX and polylysine—another
C
natural antiseptic—prolongs CITROX’s
substantivity in the mouth. Be
cause CITROX partially substitutes
the chlorhexidine, it is possible to
reduce the concentration of chlor
hexidine after the initial therapeu
tic dose, minimising possible chlor
hexidine side effects such as dis
coloration, taste disturbance and
irritation of the oral mucosa.
For this reason, the Perio Plus+
mouthwash is available in different
chlorhexidine concentrations, rang
ing from a bactericidal 0.20 % to a
bacteriostatic 0.05 % for adequate,
individualised treatment, while the
Perio Plus+ Support toothpaste con
tains a balanced 0.09 %. The 0.5 %
chlorhexidine gel is perfect for
localised treatment of wounds, in
fections or implant complications.
Moreover, the toothpaste, gel and
Regenerate mouthwash contain
hyaluronic acid, which promotes
tissue regeneration.

RAYPLICKER—THE BEST WAY TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT COLOUR
pictures taken with a mobile application, Rayplicker Pics App Solution.
Once the patient’s folder, which includes the production order, is completed and recorded, it is sent through
the cloud and/or printed. The laboratory, also equipped with the software,
instantly receives all the necessary
information via the cloud in order to
realise a prosthesis faithful to the order.
The software allows the dentist to follow up the order status in real time.

ous system. Parents should brush
their children’s teeth until they are
9 to 10 years old, as only thorough
hygiene prevents caries. This natural
toothpaste has been specially developed for children aged 6 to 12, the
main period of transition to the permanent dentition, for which special
toothpastes are required.

A pearly white smile is a must-have
attribute for everyone in the modern
age. However, it is almost impossible
to achieve for people with dental hypersensitivity, since hypersensitivity
is a contra-indication to both professional whitening procedures and
whitening toothpastes. The new
R.O.C.S. toothpaste was developed
by the WDS scientific laboratory
with the aim of improving the appearance of sensitive teeth. The
ingredients include calcium hydroxyapatite synthesised at our own
manufacturing plant using a unique
patented technology.
This non-abrasive toothpaste
(RDA = 40) quickly alleviates dental
hypersensitivity. It contains calcium
hydroxyapatite particles (which are
highly similar in structure to dental
tissue) of varying size, and these ensure a rapid decrease in sensitivity*
by sealing the smallest defects in
enamel and exposed dentinal canaliculi.
A quick and effective decrease
in sensitivity is achieved by one of
three mechanisms:
 mineral restoration of the dental
structures as a result of the presence of bioavailable calcium glycerophosphate, a source of calcium and phosphate ions;
 an instant decrease in the sensitivity of the teeth as a result of
sealing the smallest defects of
the enamel and exposed dentinal
canaliculi, ensured by the calcium

The transition to the permanent
dentition is a period of development
often accompanied by dental pathologies such as hypodontia, problems
with soft tissue and more significant
abnormal developments. Enamel
matures over several years after
eruption. During that period, teeth
are at risk of caries and frequent
mucosal inflammation, especially in
the case of improper toothbrushing.

“The Middle East is a very important and exciting market”
Interview with Matthias Wolf, Middle East and North Africa area manager at VOCO.

With outstanding product quality, the family-owned dental company VOCO has now developed into one of the leading manufacturers in the industry.

and are continually gaining new
partners. Trade fairs like AEEDC are
the ideal opportunity for us to make
new contacts and deepen existing
relationships. Therefore, we are very
much looking forward to AEEDC and
the important exchange with our
partners.

VOCO headquarters in Cuxhaven in Germany. (Images: © VOCO)

n On 1 February, Matthias Wolf from
Germany took over the management
of sales in Middle East and North
Africa for VOCO. For the previous
six years, he was VOCO area manager
for the UK, the Republic of Ireland,
Malta, Greece, Cyprus, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovenia, in which
role he gleaned profound knowledge
and experience of the company, including its products and internal procedures. In this interview, it is clear

that he is both highly motivated and
eager to take on the challenges of his
new position at VOCO.
Mr Wolf, how important is the Middle
East for VOCO, and how has the company’s past participation at AEEDC
Dubai shaped VOCO’s business in
the region?
The Middle East is a very important and exciting market for VOCO.
We have been growing here for years

What will VOCO’s product highlights
at AEEDC be? Do you have any
product launches or special booth
activities planned?
One of our product highlights
at the fair will be VisCalor bulk.
VisCalor bulk is the world’s first filling
material with thermo-viscous-technology, which has been specially developed for heating. This world first,
which we presented for the first
time at the 2019 International Dental
Show in Cologne, clearly conveys the
innovative strength and pioneering
role of VOCO. We are very curious to
see how this unique product will be
received by our trade show visitors!
In addition, we will of course present
other top products from various in
dication areas.

Can you tell us more about VisCalor
bulk?
VisCalor bulk is a globally unique
composite that combines the advantages of a flowable and sculptable
restorative. Thanks to our unique
thermo-viscous-technology, the material is initially flowable when applied
in the cavity and then becomes
sculptable within a few seconds. It is
a 4 mm bulk material, so the dentist
does not have to layer, thus saving
time. We offer the VisCalor Dispenser
with VisCalor bulk. This allows the
dentist to heat composite caps
quickly and easily with only one
device and apply them immediately.
What do you think makes VOCO
products so interesting for the Middle
Eastern market?
I think that the high quality
demands of customers in the Middle
East correspond very well to the
standards of VOCO. The family-run
dental company, located in Cuxhaven
(northern Germany), is one of the
leading manufacturers in the industry, both nationally and internation-

ally. All products are manufactured
at the headquarters and are therefore
100 per cent made in Germany. VOCO
produces dental products of the highest material quality and user friend
liness that meet the high demands of
the market.
Personally, what do you look forward
to most and why?
I am very much looking forward to
my new tasks and the numerous new
challenges. The countries, the people
and the cultures of the Middle East
have been inspiration to me for many
years and I am very excited about
cooperation with customers in the
region. In my work, I pursue close and
trusting relationships, since personal
contact is very important to me. AEEDC
is the ideal platform for making many
new contacts, learning more about the
individual wishes and needs of cus
tomers, and launching projects. 7

in a sugar-based syrup, kanafeh is
typically layered with cheese. This
sweet and savoury combination,
together with its crunchiness, gives
it a unique taste, which is why the
pastry has become a favourite
among locals in the UAE. It is best
served hot right out of the pan with
the cheese still stringy. Many variations of kanafeh exist, depending
