38th International Dental Show • Cologne • 12–16 March 2019

Latest products
IDS will be showcasing the most up-to-date
products and services currently available on
the dental market.

Final countdown to International Dental Show has started

Biennial Cologne event to present global state-of-the-art in dentistry once again.
By Dental Tribune International



With over 155,000 trade visitors from 157 countries attending, 2017 was once again a record year for IDS.

Digitalisation will remain the dominant topic in the dental industry in 2019.

 From 12 to 16 March, the world’s
largest trade fair for dentistry and
dental technology will be held for
the 38th time. The entire dental industry, including all international market leaders, will again be represented at the International Dental Show
(IDS) in Cologne in Germany. The organisers have announced the participation of around 2,300 companies
from over 60 countries, well over

70 per cent of which come from
abroad, indicating the growing level
of internationality at IDS. The most
represented countries among the exhibitors will be China, France, Italy,
the Republic of Korea, Switzerland,
the UK and the US.
Not only is the number of exhibitors larger this year, but owing
to the high number of registrations,
the organisers are anticipating that

IDS 2019 will be able to repeat the
excellent result of the previous
event in terms of the number of visitors too. Two years ago, 155,000
trade visitors from 157 countries attended.
In accordance with this high
visitor and exhibitor demand, a decision was made to expand the exhibition space into Hall 5, bringing
the show size to around 170,000 m²

in total. Besides a large food court,
Hall 5 will house, among others,
some of the stands held by larger
companies in the field of consumer
prophylaxis. Hall 5 is centrally located at the Koelnmesse grounds
and its integration into IDS means
that the entry boulevard can be utilised to reach nearby parking facilities, the bus station and the new
visitor car park.
Besides these arrangements, at
the official trade press conference
for IDS, which was held on 23 January in Bonn in Germany, speakers
and special guests discussed and
presented the market developments
and industry trends that will shape
the forthcoming edition of the show.
As the most important international business platform of the global
dental industry, IDS offers companies and experts from all over the
world unrivalled opportunities. The
demand for cutting-edge dental technology is increasing on a global basis, making it all the more important
for dentists, dental clinics, dental
laboratories and dental technicians
to remain up to date on treatment
possibilities and important trends
and applications.
At this year’s IDS, one of the focal themes—which is affecting all industries across the globe alike—is
digitalisation.
“[IDS is the] Davos of the dental
industry,” said Koelnmesse CEO Gerald Böse, likening the Cologne event
to the unassuming Swiss alpine town
that boasts mega fi nancial clout
through its hosting of the annual
World Economic Forum. For Böse, the
level of internationalism at the heart
of IDS and the quality and depth of
its industry coverage make it an obvious leader in worldwide dental
events. But this status now comes
with the challenge of accurately representing the digitalisation of dental practice at the exhibition.
This challenge is not without its
pitfalls, commented Dr Peter Engel,
president of Germany’s federal association of dentists (Bundeszahnärztekammer). “IDS will be—as it
already was in 2017—characterised
by digitisation, this time with an
even stronger emphasis,” he explained. Engel told press representatives that the advancement of digitisation cannot be stopped and
added the following caveat: while

being embraced, the progress of digitisation in dentistry must also be
critically evaluated. Engel mused:
“Which new digital technologies
are actually having a positive impact for dentists? What is a ‘must
have’, and what could be better
described as a ‘nice to have’?”

Engel commented that, for him,
it remains of the utmost importance
to approach the topic of digitisation
with careful consideration of its impact on the ethical principles of dental practice. “One can easily gain
the impression that new technologies are, by default, capable of replacing established ones,” he said.
Engel then pointed out the example
of the essential doctor–patient relationship, which, he concluded, is
unlikely to be replaced by digital
technologies any time soon.
While fully embracing the new
advancements in dentistry, the event
organisers made it clear that the
subtleties of dental practice will not
be forgotten on the show floor at IDS

2019. Summing up the discussion,
Mark Stephen Pace, Chairman of the
Board of the Association of the German Dental Industry, commented that
“trade fairs bring people together.
IDS is, as the worldwide leader in
dental exhibitions, always a nose
ahead.” Visitors to the show can also
expect a focus on 3-D printing, which
Pace called a “game changer that
could make dentistry competitive
once again.”
The market for 3-D printed products in dentistry is predicted to
grow by between 13 and 23 per
cent annually and reach a size of
US$25.7 billion (€22.5 billion) by
2030, according to a recent Koelnmesse analysis. This development
is expected to occur in two phases.

Koelnmesse CEO Gerald Böse (right) pointed out that IDS, as the most important international business platform of the global
dental industry, will offer companies and experts from all over the world outstanding opportunities.



The first, which revolves around the
reinvention of existing products, will
last until around 2020, at which
point innovative materials and optimised printing methods will allow
the dental industry to take on a pioneering role.
Visitors and exhibitors can already download the official IDS app
and begin to explore the halls before arriving in Cologne. The app,
which can be downloaded free from
the App Store and Google Play, offers users an interactive view of the
exhibition areas and a number of
tools designed to help visitors make
the most of their days at the event.
With the app, users can calculate
fast routes between booths and
halls and utilise the messaging

function to contact exhibitors before and during show hours.
Dental professionals can still
easily register in advance for IDS on
the IDS website. In addition to an
e-ticket, trade visitors will receive a
transport ticket for buses and trains
that are part of the Rhein-Sieg transport network, allowing them to choose
from attractive overnight accommodation in the outskirts of Cologne
and throughout the entire RheinRuhr metropolitan region and travel
to IDS using public transport free of
charge.
Over the past 80 years, the Association of the German Dental Industry through its Gesellschaft zur
Förderung der Dental-Industrie, in

“We and the whole of Cologne are looking forward to IDS”
Interview with Gerald Böse, CEO of Koelnmesse.
By Dental Tribune International
 IDS 2019 is expected to be even
bigger and more international than
the previous event in 2017. As the
dental world prepares to travel to the
city of Cologne for the 12–16 March
event, Gerald Böse, CEO of Koelnmesse, says new developments will
provide an even better trade fair experience.
The year 2017 was a record-breaker
for Koelnmesse, With more than
43,000 exhibitors and over 2.1 million visitors hosted at the company’s
trade fairs worldwide. What role did
IDS play in this success?
Yes, that’s right, regarding trade
fairs, 2017 was a totally successful
year, in which we not only reached
our ambitious growth targets, but
actually even surpassed them. In 2017,
we ultimately recorded a turnover of
€357.9 million, hosted 43,000 exhibiting companies from 119 countries,
and received over 2.1 million visitors
from 218 countries at our 82 trade
fairs and exhibitions. As the industry’s leading international dentistry
trade fair, IDS plays a very important
role in our trade fair portfolio.
With an increase of 12 per cent on
2015, IDS 2017 received more than
155,000 trade visitors. What are you
expecting in terms of visitors for
the approaching 38th edition of the
show?
The developments seen over the
last several years and the responses
to our visitor surveys indicate that
we can expect a high increase in
the number of visitors once again in
2019. We are optimistic that we will
once again be able to top the result
of over 155,000 international trade
visitors in 2019.
Have there been any changes to the
halls, facilities or services that you’d
like to share with our readers?
With the integration of Hall 5,
IDS has significantly expanded its
floor space again. The event will now
span a total exhibition space of over
170,000 m². The integration of Hall 5
creates the necessary capacity for the
high exhibitor and visitor demand.
Here, among others, several large suppliers of consumer prophylaxis pro-

ducts will be exhibiting. Hall 5 fits in
well with the natural flow of the trade
fair and is perfectly connected to the
boulevard entrance between Hall 5
and 10. The boulevard entrance will
be in use, as will the south, east and
west entrances. In addition, the integration of Hall 5 will further enhance
the overall quality of stay for visitors
to IDS: a food court can be found in
Hall 5.1, while the wide aisles and
light-flooded passages will provide
even better navigation and layout.
Furthermore, the smooth, visitorfriendly access guarantees a more
even distribution of visitors across
all of the exhibition halls.
IDS 2019 is offering a further
service that facilitates travel to IDS
for trade visitors and, what’s more,
makes it less expensive for them.
For the coming event, the IDS e-ticket
includes a free transport ticket that
allows holders to use public transport in the region of Cologne—for
the very first time, holders can also
travel throughout the entire RheinRuhr metropolitan region. That means
that trade visitors travelling from
the metropolitan area of Düsseldorf,
Duisburg, Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Mülheim and Dortmund who have booked
accommodation there or who are
flying into Düsseldorf can travel to
the trade fair in Cologne using regional express trains and other local transport options free of charge.
Visitors will appreciate that. Koelnmesse recently reported a significant increase in international IDS
exhibitor numbers. What can you tell
us about this trend?
Over the expanded exhibition
space, we are again expecting around
2,300 exhibitors from more than 60
countries, who will again be presenting the current trends of the dental
industry. Of these, over 300 companies, all of which satisfy the demanding IDS participation criteria, will be
taking part in the Cologne event for
the fi rst time. We—the VDDI/GFDI
[Association of the German Dental
Industry and Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Dental-Industrie] and
Koelnmesse—place great value on the
careful and healthy growth of IDS.
The quality of the exhibitors and visi-

Gerald Böse, CEO of Koelnmesse.

tors, as well as the amount and topicality of innovations on display, make
IDS the most comprehensive showcase and the liveliest and most significant marketplace of the dental world.
IDS 2017 had a focus on digital production and diagnosis methods. Will
we see another strong digital focus
this year, and what other aspects of
dentistry do you expect to come to
the fore?
Improved digital workflows and
additive manufacturing are at the
fore of international development being seen in dentistry. Digitalisation
is advancing at a dynamic pace. As
such, innovation cycles are becoming increasingly shorter. The innovative power of the industry becomes
particularly clear here, and digitalisation is extending across all segments of the dental world.
In relation to the current trade fair market environment, what can IDS exhibitors expect, in terms of buyers and
decision makers walking the halls?

Over 155,000 visitors from 157
countries, with 60 per cent of visitors
from abroad—the fi gures from the
last event clearly demonstrate where
the strengths and KPIs [key performance indicators] of IDS lie: in the
quality of the participants, on both
the visitor and exhibitor front. IDS
in Cologne is the global industry
platform; this is where the dental
world meets up. This status is synonymous with an exceptionally
strong presence of international decision makers.
What are the long-term prospects of
IDS, and what is necessary to keep
building on a successful event?
The development and success of
IDS over the past several years permits us to look positively ahead to
the future. However, nobody can afford to stand still in our industry.
That is why shortly after IDS 2019
we will get together with the GFDI,
the commercial enterprise of the
VDDI, the organiser of IDS, and
jointly work out how we have to

align ourselves in order to ensure
that we can continue this success
on a sustainable basis.
Lastly, IDS 2017 saw Cologne called
the five-day global capital of dentistry. With the dental world now
about to arrive in the city, how would
you describe what the host city has
to offer?
Even though business is the focus at IDS, visitors and exhibitors
will no doubt explore and enjoy the
cathedral city. The heart of the metropolis, with over a million inhabitants, lies in close vicinity to the fairgrounds, separated only by the
Rhine—the lifeline of the people from
Cologne—with its liberal, friendly
and cosmopolitan citizens. In addition to the cultural sights, which
span the city’s long history of Roman
settlement all the way to the present
day, the Cologne lifestyle can best be
experienced in the many restaurants, breweries and pubs. We and
the whole of Cologne are looking
forward to IDS. 

Game changer of 3-D printing:
Dentistry is a trendsetter
 New treatment modalities, new
forms of teamwork, new business
models—when it comes to 3-D printing, dentistry is one of the pioneers.
According to a recent analysis, the
global market for 3-D printing products will grow by an annual average of between 13 and 23 per cent
to reach a total volume of €22.6 billion by 2030. Regarding medical
technology in particular, the volume will grow to €5.59 billion by
2030. According to experts, this development will occur in two phases:
until 2020, there will be a prevailing focus on the reinvention of already existing products; after that,
the focus will turn to the development of innovative materials and
optimised printing processes. The
printing of frames through laserassisted processes is already established, whereas new dental frames
made of plastic materials are being
developed. According to market analysts, however, the possibilities
regarding orthodontic appliances,
prostheses, crowns, bridges, aligners and models are most promising.
In terms of prophylaxis, an individualised 3-D printed dental floss
holder is considered to be among
the most advanced developments.
When it comes to communication,

real-time images have already proven themselves. In this context, a
digitally modelled smile of a patient serves as the basis for a 3-D
printed silicone model. Furthermore, a robot has already successfully implanted two 3-D printed
teeth into a patient. Apart from
that, in order to reconstruct the
original form of a patient’s jaw after
oral tumour removal, it is already
possible to scan the defect and manufacture a template by means of 3-D
printing. This template then guides
the extraction of a bone block from
a different area of the body (for instance, the fibula), which is subsequently transplanted into the
oral cavity.
Today, there are a wide range
of different processes. These include
stereolithography, which is ideal
for manufacturing surgical guides
owing to its precision down to the
lower double-digit micrometre range.
There is also the digital light processing technique, which is characterised by its high speed: owing to
a one-time exposure instead of a
moving laser beam, each layer of the
object polymerises almost instantly.
Apart from that, the Polyjet process,
which closely resembles the functionalities of an office printer, can

achieve extremely high precision.
Within the context of both plastic
and metal printing, there is the selective laser melting technique, the selective laser sintering technique and
LaserCUSING. At IDS 2019, the entire spectrum of these processes will
be on display with a view to their already existing clinical applications.
In this regard, the exhibitors will be
happy to elaborate on the properties
of printable materials, software solutions and services, which are tailored to the needs of dental practices
and laboratories.
“Within the field of 3-D printing
technologies, many great things have
already been achieved that were not
yet foreseeable to their full extent
some years ago. It is now clear that
3-D printing is going to significantly
change digital workflows in the long
run,” said Mark Stephen Pace, Chairman of the Board of the Association
of the German Dental Industry,
ahead of IDS 2019. “Constant developments in the field result in new clinical, technological and economic
possibilities, which in turn lead to
innovative business models. There
is no better place than IDS 2019 to
comprehensively experience the resultant possibilities for one’s own
dental practice or laboratory.” 

Focus on long-term outcomes
of periodontal therapy
 As the top event for the dental
industry globally, IDS will present
the entire range of products avai lable on the market worldwide, with
a focus on periodontology. As such,
the upcoming IDS will offer an overview of both established and new
methods in periodontitis prevention
and therapy, specifically emphasi sing follow-up care through biofi lm
and recall management as integral
to long-term success.
“The coming IDS offers attractive innovations in many areas,
from the diagnostic process to the
supporting periodontal therapy,
through to periodontal surgery,”
emphasised Mark Stephen Pace,
Chairman of the Board of the Asso-

ciation of the German Dental Industry. With the growing need for care,
there are increasingly more effective options for the prevention and
treatment of periodontitis, he said.
“At the International Dental Show
in Cologne this progress can be experienced close up. With tangible
product innovations and direct contact with the respective manufacturers, IDS offers all visitors real
added value.”
IDS will showcase the entire
range of periodontal treatment products, including manual tools, ultrasonic and powder jet systems, periodontal probes and pressure-calibrated
alternatives, software solutions and
adjuvant therapies. The last include

laser-controlled methods, immune
modulation and the application of
antimicrobial substances. Beyond the
minimally invasive methods, surgical options, such as lobe operation
and soft-tissue grafts, will also be
covered. In addition, visitors will be
able to learn more about bacteria,
DNA tests and modifications, such
as leukocyte telomere length attrition, as well as assessment methods
for genetic periodontitis and tissue
destruction processes for accurate
treatment planning. Because regular
follow-up care is key to success in
periodontal treatment, particular attention will be given to recall and
supportive periodontal therapy and
monitoring. 

Digital endodontics:
IDS to showcase wealth of possibilities
 The success of endodontic therapy
depends on many factors, including
the detection of all root canals, their
hermetic seal and the nature of subsequent coronal care. How the latest innovations for the individual
treatment steps can be optimally
put to use will be shown at the 2019
IDS in Cologne.
Today, the success rates of endodontic treatments over a period of
ten years are typically more than
90 per cent. In order to optimise
treatment outcomes even further,
dental practitioners seek to use and
benefit from the best technologies
on the market. Digitally supported
endodontics has given rise to new

Now, development is moving in the
direction of virtually pre-planned
root canal therapy and guided endodontics (similar to implantation
guided by a surgical template).
Despite the digitalisation process, many proven products and
processes will, of course, retain
their importance. Therefore, they
are being progressively developed
and improved. Partially heat-treated
fi les, for example, are even more
flexible, which is an advantage in
anatomically complex cases. Furthermore, the use of lasers could
potentially make the disinfection
of prepared root canals even safer
in the future, such as PIPS (pho-

fi lling of the canals and, if necessary, the creation of space for a
root post.
With the support of software
and 3-D radiographs, planning for
procedures is continuously becoming easier. This boosts the safety of
treatment and improves long-term
outcomes. On the monitor, the dentist can now visualise the root canals from top to bottom. The software proposes fi les of the right
sizes, matching gutta-percha points
and much more. This technology
also offers the possibility to virtually simulate the treatment in
advance. There is also the possibility
of a division of labour, with the

Dynamic digitalisation:
The laboratory of the future at IDS 2019
 There are stable long-term trends
and fast-paced ones when it comes to
digital dental technologies, and dental technicians who combine these
two profit the most. A visit to IDS 2019
will definitely help to gain a comprehensive overview and make unerring
decisions with an eye to the future.
A number of innovations in the area

of digital technologies have made the
processing of specific materials possible or economically attractive. Today,
it is possible to manufacture crown
and bridge frameworks that are made
from zirconia, lithium disilicate, hybrid ceramics, high-performance plastics, and alloys that either contain gold
or are free of precious metals.

In terms of manufacturing choices,
dental laboratories have become very
flexible: they can decide whether to
produce in-house or outsource tasks
to laboratory partners or external industrial services. Today, even custom
abutments can be manufactured inhouse or ordered from an external
manufacturer or supplier. Regarding
fi xed dentures, CAD/CAM systems
have become well established in the
past several years, and new possibilities in CAM of removable dentures
are constantly being created. For instance, complete, duplicate and immediate prostheses can be manufactured in the dental laboratory by
means of computer-supported procedures, allowing the dentist to continue performing the work tasks with
which he or she is most familiar.
Just like prosthetics, orthodontics is considered to be a relative newcomer to the digital playground, compared with other dental fields. These
days, dental laboratories contribute
to dental treatments by providing virtual set-ups. In doing so, bracket positions can be set, for instance. Subsequently, the dental technician fabricates the respective appliance and
creates the transfer tray by means of
a 3-D printer. This procedure brings a
wide variety of creative possibilities
to the dental laboratory: occlusal
splints, surgical guides, custom
trays, orthodontic appliances, or
provisional crowns and bridges—
virtually everything can be manufactured using 3-D printing technologies. If in accordance with the
guidelines for Class IIa medical devices, the respective appliance can
be used for printed short- and longterm provisionals. Furthermore, printed
alloys, such as cobalt–chromium,
give access to new applications,
such as digital model casting prostheses. 

At-home tooth straightening boom raises concerns

 To the unaware consumer, it almost sounds too good to be true:
straighter teeth without a single dentist appointment through a method
that is also quicker and more affordable than conventional orthodontic treatment.
Just recently, the US-based
start-up SmileDirectClub, in which
clear aligner maker Align Technology
owns a 19 per cent stake, raised
US$380 million in a new funding
round, valuing the company at
US$3.2 billion.
Competitors with similar business models can be found all around
the world, such as EZ Smile (Australia), Your Smile Direct (Ireland)
and Easy Smile (Hong Kong). All
these companies follow a similar process: a potential patient fills out an
online questionnaire to assess
whether he or she is an eligible candidate for at-home treatment. Depending on the result, the customer can
buy an impression kit, take the impressions at home and send them to
a laboratory, which will then create
a set of plastic aligners.
By eliminating the in-person
visit to an orthodontist, remote tooth
straightening services can be offered

at a cost that is up to 60 per cent
cheaper than care provided via an
orthodontist using a clear aligner
system.
Despite the advantages of athome treatment, dental professionals are worried about this trend.
In an interview with the Sydney
Morning Herald, Vice President of
the Australian Society of Orthodontists Dr Howard Holmes said: “If
there are gum issues, gum disease
or broken fillings, they won’t be detected, and when you start moving
teeth, those problems can become
worse. Even if the immediate results
seem good, the teeth and bite may
not be in a stable position and move
back, and there could also be muscular and jaw problems.”
Despite the possibility that failed
at-home aligners may result in even
more costly remedial treatment, EZ
Smile founder Ed Ambrosius believes that dentists are scaremongering: “We are simply doing the most
minor cases of teeth movement and
would never consider treating anybody that requires complicated dental techniques. The risks are extremely low. We have rejected many
more cases than we’ve taken on.” 

Upcoming IDS puts emphasis on technology and teamwork
 Over the past 20 years, dentists
and dental technicians have experienced the new possibilities continually being created by digitalisation.
The key to success in exploiting
these innovations has been and will
continue to be the interaction between the members of the treating
team. In this regard, IDS will offer
comprehensive concepts, valuable
tips and stimulating discussions.
The particular excitement of
dentistry lies in the unique combination of medical, technological and
aesthetic aspects in the discipline.
The day-to-day work has become
more diversified and sometimes
challenging over the past decades,
both in the practice and in the dental technician’s laboratory, owing to
multifaceted requirements. A particularly effective means of meeting
these demands has been the intensification of collaboration between
dentists and dental technicians.
The conditions for collaboration
are better than ever, because digitalisation allows spatial and time limits

to be overcome. Radiographs, model
scans, and a wide range of different
working and planning documents
can be produced in the practice and
the laboratory within seconds for
evaluation and discussion purposes.
At the same time, overlapping digital
workflows in more and more areas
are increasingly facilitating cooperation between dental professionals.
The sheer number of options
and thus possible combinations is
increasing further in terms of both
materials and production. Especially
in the case of digitally aided manufacture, 3-D printing is expanding
the choices and opening up new possibilities for teamwork between dentists and dental technicians. The specific realisation of this depends on
the practice’s clientele, the existing
equipment, and the personalities
and individual approach of the dental professionals concerned.
“The International Dental Show
will comprehensively present the
current state of development of materials and processing methods, as

38 th International Dental Show 2019

well as new opportunities for optimal collaboration between the dentist and dental technician,” said Dr
Markus Heibach, Executive Director
of the Association of the German

Dental Industry. “At IDS, digital systems, planning tools, and different
production options and their application within the team can be experienced first-hand and in a diversity

that cannot be found anywhere else.
My tip to all visitors is to talk to your
dental technician or dentist in advance and visit the International
Dental Show as a team!” 

New tech, bundling and commoditisation are affecting the future
of restorative dentistry products
By Graeme Fell & Jeffrey Wong, iData Research
n The global market for restorative
dentistry products is experiencing
persistent growth despite an interesting and contradictory set of market factors. This growth is primarily
being driven by the rising market
penetration of dental implants, as
well as CAD/CAM-produced prostheses and final abutments. While discount pricing, commoditisation and
product bundling have limited revenues, the growing acceptance of and
demand for dental implants and
new restorative products will sustain market growth.

Strong growth trends for
restorative dentistry
The dental implant and final
abutment market is expected to ex-

perience strong growth over the
next few years, even in more penetrated markets such as Europe and
the US. The market is growing in
response to increasing demand
from dentists, particularly general
dental practitioners, who are placing implants in greater numbers.
Consumer awareness of implantsupported restorations is also
growing owing to effective marketing and positive patient outcomes.
In the US, marketing campaigns
aimed directly at the patient are
being run on a national basis, and
implant-supported restorations are
gaining recognition in emerging
markets.
Typically, final abutments fabricated using CAD/CAM technol-

ogy have commanded a significantly higher price than have
standard stock abutments, but substantial price declines and streamlined production methods have
resulted in CAD/CAM products
gaining an increasing share of the
final abutment market. The average selling price of a CAD/CAM
abutment has notably declined in
the US over the last two years
alone. The efficiency of CAD/CAM
technology is improving owing to
major investments in equipment
by the foremost implant companies. These improvements will inspire greater use of CAD/CAM
technology and drive the market
for these higher-priced final abutments.

Growing implant technology
markets
Surgical guides for implant
placement have attracted increased
attention in recent years, resulting
in high levels of market growth. The
adoption rate of surgical guides is
expected to grow, and surgical
guides will be used in a significant
percentage of implant placements,
particularly in more developed dental markets. Markets for treatment
planning software and dental implant instrument kits will also continue to grow with the procedural
volume increase, but are limited by
the number of complimentary units
bundled with large implant purchases. The dental implant instrument kit market consists of specialised products used to perform dental
implant procedures, such as drills,
reamers, ratchets and inserters/retrievers. Instrument kits are bundled because they are important for
successful implant procedures, especially for dental specialists who
place hundreds of implants per year.
Geographically, emerging markets are continuing to adopt implants at an increasing rate. Double-digit growth in the Asia Pacific
region can be found in China and India, alongside encouraging acceptance of digital dentistry.

Commoditisation and other
market limiters
The dental implant market experienced a shift towards more affordable products in 2018, with established premium brands facing
increased competition from their
low-cost counterparts. The growing
demographic of general dental practitioners who place implants has
prompted new consumer preferences, such as less brand loyalty and
more price sensitivity. Therefore, implants in the value (mid-level) and
discount (most affordable) pricing
brackets are attracting new customers who are less likely to differentiate between the numerous brands
currently on the market. In emerging markets, greater value is being
placed on affordability, thus speeding up this transition. In addition,
lower-priced implants are more popular in countries that are home to
several discount and value implant
producers, such as Israel and South
Korea.
The various product bundles offered by dental implant companies
will apply additional downward
pressure on revenues. Treatment
planning software and dental instrument kits are not the only products
being given away free. Regenerative
products such as dental bone graft
substitutes and barrier membranes
are also being bundled with implant
orders. Moreover, the regenerative
market itself is experiencing a
strong commoditisation trend across
allograft, xenograft and synthetic
products. Despite regulatory pressure in some markets, the global
market for dental regenerative prod-

38 th International Dental Show 2019

ucts involves established competitors, small local suppliers and now
nearly every major implant company. The commoditisation of dental
implants has applied negative pressure on revenues in recent years,
and will continue to do so until 2025.

The competitive landscape
for dental implants in 2019
Established global premium implant companies such as Dentsply
Sirona, Nobel Biocare, Straumann
and Zimmer Biomet have long been
the dominant forces in the global dental implant and final abutment markets. That being said, the competitive
landscape is becoming ever more
crowded owing to the rise of value
and discount implant brands. Value
and discount competitors are especially popular among the new wave
of general dental practitioners practising implantology, who show less
brand loyalty and are more likely to
seek to minimise treatment costs.
Premium companies have adapted
to changes by pursuing acquisitions
of companies that sell more affordable implants, thus maintaining their
brand image while still expanding
their market coverage into segments
with high growth potential. Two examples of this are Straumann’s acquisition of Neodent and Dentsply
Sirona’s acquisition of MIS Implants.
Under the Danaher umbrella, Nobel
Biocare operates alongside its midpriced counterpart, Implant Direct.
In July 2018, Danaher announced it

Oral health means more than just good teeth
The current state of the oral care system in Europe.
By Dr Nigel Carter, OBE, Chair of the Platform for Better Oral Health in Europe and Chief Executive of the Oral Health Foundation

© Oral Health Platform

 Although recent decades have
seen incredible progress in the prevention of caries in the general population, good oral health for all is
still not a reality in today’s Europe.
The Platform for Better Oral Health
in Europe is working to promote
best practices in oral healthcare
and prevention and to identify robust oral health data to highlight to
policymakers the importance of
tackling persisting disparities in
oral health across and within EU
countries.
In today’s Europe, having decayed, missing or filled teeth remains the norm rather than the exception. Inequalities in oral health

and dental care across EU countries
have dramatically increased in recent years, which is unacceptable in
the twenty-first century. Years of
austerity measures and ever-growing pressures on health and social
care budgets have had a significant
impact on dental care systems in Europe. While some EU countries have
implemented effective prevention
policies, others are still struggling to
give oral health the place it deserves
in their public health policies.
Our focus has been to showcase
the evidence that oral health is a determining factor for quality of life
and essential for well-being. As
such, oral health is an integral part
of general health. Moreover, the
economic burden of oral diseases is
severe for EU member states, estimated at 5 to 10 per cent of public
health expenditure in high-income
countries, according to the World
Health Organization. Beyond the direct health and economic impacts,
poor oral health has indirect consequences, such as a reduction in productivity due to lost workdays and
poorer educational attainment due
to lost schooldays.
Oral health inequalities constitute a significant public health
problem, and action is required at
the policy level on the broader so-

cial and environmental determinants of health. Addressing the
burden of oral diseases requires a
holistic, but comprehensive and integrated policy response across Europe. If successful, prioritising improvement of oral health across
Europe will lead to healthier EU
citizens by helping to prevent and
protect against other diseases. In
addition, it will result in a reduction in overall healthcare expenditure for treating other chronic diseases.

Integration of oral health
into public health policies
The platform for Better Oral
Health in Europe is a joint initiative of the Association for Dental
Education in Europe, the Council
of European Chief Dental Officers,
the European Association of Dental Public Health, the Pan-European Region of the International
Association for Dental Research
and the Oral Health Foundation.
The platform has 16 associate
members, covering many specialist societies within dentistry, and
its work is supported by the Wrigley Oral Healthcare Program and
GlaxoSmithKline.
The platform’s goal is to create a
common European approach to im-

proved oral health outcomes through
research, education, promotion and
access to care. In order to raise
awareness of the role that oral
health plays in general health, the
platform currently focuses on two
specific work streams that fall neatly
within the competences of the European institutions:

• Economic burden of oral diseases: dental care expenditure
and productivity loss
• Link between oral health and
other non-communicable diseases:
oral cancer
• Health inequalities: educational
and occupational inequalities in
oral health.

Including more oral health
data in Health at a Glance:
Europe

Collecting and sharing best
practices in oral healthcare
across Europe

Over the past two years, the platform has worked to identify a number of key health indicators that collectively reflect a range of important
and relevant oral health outcomes
and has been advocating to the European Commission and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development for their inclusion in
upcoming editions of the Health at a
Glance: Europe report series. The
platform has identified the following
four indicators, which are deemed
the most robust currently available
from a methodological standpoint,
while also covering a wide geographical range of European countries,
thus allowing for cross-continent
comparison:
• Oral health status: dental caries
prevalence (DMF index) data for
12-year-olds

The platform has been working
on developing a systematic method,
in line with the criteria used by
the European Commission’s Joint
Action on Chronic Diseases programme, to collect best practices in
oral healthcare, with a focus on promotion and prevention across Europe. The platform is about to issue
a call to collect best practices, with
the objective of developing a renewed and more comprehensive
European repository of best practices in oral healthcare. By providing good examples of programmes
that address oral health issues, we
aim to support better-informed policy- making.

edelweiss aims at shaping the future of dentistry
with function and aesthetics

n The dental think-tank edelweiss
dentistry is known to have pioneered the only direct biomechanical veneering system that has overcome the disadvantages of organic
fillers, which are commonly used in
composite veneers. Using the lasersintered concept, this technology has
dramatically reduced the natural
shortfalls of composite and thereby
enhanced aesthetics and function.
The product range varies from
ultrathin anterior and occlusal
enamel shells to root canal posts
with build-ups and even a novelty in
paediatric dentistry: integrating
composite crowns instead of conventional metal crowns or zirconium
crowns. This enables a safe and easy
treatment, creating healthy smiles
for children.
Never before has it been feasible to directly create the natural
shape and youthful luminance of a
tooth so easily and perfectly in only
one appointment. Its versatile area
of application, together with its
time- and cost-saving procedure,
makes edelweiss DIRECT SYSTEM a
sound investment in the future with
the best interests of the patient in
mind.
The philosophy of edelweiss
dentistry is simple: making dental
treatments easy and affordable for
patients and dentists alike while
following ethical aspects of modern
treatments, which is achieved by respecting the principles of biocompatibility and bio-aesthetics. This all
together allows minimally invasive
treatments. Restoration and optimisation are carried out while considering and preserving the healthy
tooth structure. The function and
aesthetics are reconstructed with
a highly filled nano-hybrid composite very similar to the tooth
substance—a concept that clearly
speaks in favour of non-restorative
or additive techniques. This makes
the DIRECT SYSTEM from edelweiss
the state-of-the-art for modern and
minimally invasive aesthetic dentistry.

The translucent VENEER and
OCCLUSIONVD shells, as well as the
PEDIATRIC CROWNs represent the
anatomical basis for individual or
complete dental reconstructions. After a successful splint therapy, the
OCCLUSIONVD, where “VD” stands
for vertical dimension, can be adjusted individually and be used adhesively as non-prep Overlays to solve
functional problems.
The edelweiss POST & CORE system achieves in adhesive bonding
with the tooth, from root to crown a
biomechanical monobloc. The posts
have a conical shape for better post
space adaptation. The translucency of
the fibre-free post, supported by the in
the build-up integrated lens design, allows uninterrupted light transmission
for complete polymerisation. Moreover, the opaque build-up in dentine A1
comes in different anatomical forms.
Like VENEER and OCCLUSIONVD
shells, edelweiss PEDIATRIC CROWNs
are made of a laser-sintered barium
glass, rendering them both antibacterial and plaque-resistant. Unlike conventional pediatric crowns, edelweiss
PEDIATRIC CROWNs have the same
flexural modulus as natural teeth and
that is why the antagonist teeth will
not be damaged. The mesial and distal
margins of the edelweiss PEDIATRIC
CROWNs follow the natural gingival
line of the primary teeth and imitate
these teeth in both form and function.
The prefabricated, bio-aesthetic morphology allows for a quick and safe
treatment.
You can achieve the maximum
aesthetic results—that are also minimally invasive—in just one appointment. No matter the dental situation,
edelweiss has the right restauration
for it. Try the edelweiss products at a
hands-on station at the company’s
booth and convince yourself.

We speak dental and digital!
n Since its founding in
1961, Müller-Omicron has

spoken and understood the lan
guage of dental. A medium-sized
company, it specialises in the de
velopment, production and distri
bution of dental materials for den
tists and technicians. In more than
70 countries, users benefit from the
outstanding ease of use and price–
performance ratio of the products,
which are made in Lindlar, Ger
many. These include an extensive
range of impression materials (A- 
and C-silicones), bite registration
materials, laboratory silicones and
a completely new disinfection pro
gramme, with a focus on wipe dis
infection. All disinfectants meet
the latest requirements of the VAH
and all EN standards, including
EN 16615. In order to keep up with
the ever-increasing digitalisation

of the dental market, Müller-Omicron
now also speaks digital. Through
out the last two years, the company
has been intensively involved in
developing light-curing resins for
the additive manufacturing of den
tal objects such as models, cast ob
jects, occlusal splints and drilling
templates. The result is the new
material class of LC-print model,
cast, tray and splint. All LC-print
variants are suitable for all DLP
printers. At IDS 2019 (Hall 4.2,
Booth J090), LC-print and other
news will be presented to trade
professionals for the first time. “We
are all excited about the response
and look forward to a large number
of visitors,” said the marketing and
export manager of the company,
Jens Günther. 7

XP-endo: 3-D solutions for root canal treatment
n Having launched its first revo
lutionary 3-D instrument, the XPendo Finisher, four years ago,
Swiss manufacturer of innovative,
high-quality endodontic solutions
FKG Dentaire is now introducing
the latest application expansion to
its total therapy system: XP-endo
Solutions.
XP-endo Solutions consists of
two different files: the XP-endo
Shaper and the XP-endo Finisher.
Both expand at body temperature to
achieve safe and easy management
of root canal therapy while preserv
ing dentine.
Together with the introduction
at IDS 2019 of XP-endo Retreatment,
a new clinical sequence focused on
more efficient retreatment solutions,
XP-endo Solutions delivers a com
plete system to both practitioners
and patients in initial treatment
and retreatment management and
requires fewer files.
A complete system: the XP-endo
Shaper, with its snake-like shape, is

primarily dedicated to canal shap
ing. Thanks to its adaptive core and
a 1 per cent taper associated with a
guiding tip, the XP-endo Shaper
can shape all types of canals with
greater safeguarding of the original
shape of the root—from regular
structures to the most complex. The
XP-endo Retreatment clinical se
quence utilises the XP-endo Shaper,
which acts like a corkscrew, to re
move filling material from the canal
with extreme precision and effi
ciency.
The XP-endo Finisher is de
signed to provide optimal expansion
properties through a minimalistic
design that ensures smooth and ex
traordinarily efficient cleaning of
root canal walls. The XP-endo Fin
isher is available in two sizes:
ISO 025 and ISO 030 (Finisher R),
both with a 0 per cent taper. The Fin
isher R (Reinforced) dedicated to re
treatment cases and the smaller ver
sion (Finisher) intended for initial
treatment use.

XP-endo Solutions is by far the
most complete system available for
3-D endodontics today,

offering highly adaptive, less in
vasive treatment solutions with fewer
files: Endo Done!

“anaxdent is at the forefront of the 3-D printing revolution”
An interview with Andreas Kopietz, founder and CEO of German dental materials specialist anaxdent.
By Dental Tribune International

Mr Kopietz, one of the focus areas of
IDS 2019 will be 3-D printing, which
is considered a game changer in
dentistry, according to the event organisers. What are your expectations for the show in this regard?
Yes, it will be a game changer and
we are prepared. We share knowledge and information with our customers on all aspects of 3-D printing
and enable them to transition their
businesses from an analogue to a digital workflow where it makes sense.
That will result in more consistent delivery of high-end dental appliances
to the benefit of patients. It will also

improve the profitability of their laboratories, which in turn enables sustainable dentistry in the long term.
I want customers to leave in the
knowledge that anaxdent is at the
forefront of the 3-D printing revolution and they can rely on us, as always, to provide the best solutions
and products for their laboratories.
Your company has recently signed
a distribution agreement with the Silicon Valley-based digital 3-D manufacturing company Carbon. Could you
please briefly comment on this?
Before we signed with Carbon,
I travelled globally over the last three
years to research and understand the
best available 3-D printing options for
our customers on which to base this
decision. I see anaxdent and Carbon
fitting with our ethos of best practices, best products—like our pink composite anaxgum that sits well in the
workflow for the production of printed
dentures. We believe that together
we are offering anaxdent customers

a 3-D printing solution using Carbon
technology that is unrivalled.
In dentistry, new additive manufacturing technologies seem to be taking
over from conventional milling technologies. What are the main differences between the two with regard to
quality, price and application in dentistry, and are both still needed?
I believe there is a place for both
technologies in the market, as no single
technology has the capability of delivering custom-made medical devices
across all dental indications. I foresee a
hybrid approach in the future, in which
laboratories will adopt new technologies to the benefit of workflow, consistency and improved patient care, while
maintaining the critical knowledge and
experience of dental technicians in delivering a unique, custom-made aesthetic medical device. Even if you have
the best equipment, you need the skills
of analogue techniques and the experience of a well-educated dental technician to make it happen.

 Ahead of IDS 2019, Dental Tribune
International met with Andreas Kopietz, CEO of German dental materials specialist anaxdent. In this interview, Kopietz, who founded anaxdent
in 1999, shares his opinion on the implications of 3-D printing technologies
for dental laboratories and explains
why his company is best positioned to
guide customers in this development.



Andreas Kopietz, founder and CEO of anaxdent.

One of the major topics in 3-D printing is printable material. How is
anaxdent approaching this issue?
We are working with our key partners in the development of flowable
printable materials that will cover a

minilu’s tenth
anniversary surprise
minilu.de is celebrating its tenth anniversary with special offers and
a competition with thousands of prizes.
 “We identified the opportunities of
online trading at an early stage, but
wanted to be more than your runof-the-mill online warehouse. We
wanted to stand out from the crowd—
with minilu and a special design
in pink,” explained minilu.de CEO
Veith Gärtner. “minilu soon found
her way into the hearts of surgery
and laboratory staff.” The concept,
after all, was hard to resist: fast delivery of products from brand manufacturers at amazingly low prices.

Wide selection and
expert training
Today, minilu.de offers one of the
widest selections in a web shop. With
more than 45,000 listed items, it
serves customers in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. Besides its
store offering, it provides live webinars and video tutorials via the

number of indications, and anaxdent is
best positioned to deliver these solutions to the market as soon as they become available. Come and see us at our
booth at IDS, where we will be demonstrating the first steps in our concept. 

Unveiling the latest coup of
minilu.de, Gärtner said, “We’re going to roll out a user-friendly inventory control system, the minilu WaWi,
in March 2019, which will make it
easier to manage stock. It will let surgeries and laboratories keep an eye
on their stock and manage it effortlessly.” minilu WaWi will simplify
reordering as well, as the system
uses consumption statistics to let
users know when stock is low and
suggests appropriate product orders. “Stocks can thus be replenished
within the shortest space of time with
the ease and speed customers expect

from minilu.de,” emphasised Gärtner.
In doing so, minilu WaWi helps to
avoid material bottlenecks, saving
time and money. You can also use
the minilu WaWi system to record
articles from other suppliers.

Online, thus always up to date
As the system is fully integrated
into the minilu shop, no software
needs to be installed at the surgery.
Material due for removal or transfer
can easily be scanned via a mobile
app. The whole process is online, so
everything is always up to date. Practical tutorials quickly teach users
how to operate the system. This latest addition to minilu.de’s services
demonstrates again that the company is deserving of its reputation as
a friend of surgery and laboratory
staff. 

TBR—A game-changing
implant manufacturer

Focus on demanding
materials and high quality
n Since its establishment in 1925,
German company EVE Ernst Vetter
has developed into one of the leading
providers of rotary polishing instruments. With over 100 employees,
EVE offers both dentists and dental
technicians a comprehensive range of
grinding and polishing instruments
with particular emphasis on high
quality. These include demanding
materials such as composites, cera
mics, zirconia and lithium disilicate.
In collaboration with leading material
manufacturers, its range is under
continual development. Under the slo-

n The TBR Group is an international company with headquarters
in Toulouse in France, the European capital for astronautics. We
have specialised in the design,
manufacture and marketing of
unique dental implant, aesthetic
and equipment solutions for over
30 years. We aim to become an irreplaceable partner to dental professionals around the world and
share the same ambitions—to offer
patients the best possible functional and aesthetic restorations—
and are here to support your
s ervices with high-quality products.
Providing dentists with the
unique technology of the Z1 implant, we concentrate our effort on
being the right partner for dentists,
boosting their practices thanks to

innovative products with unique
benefits for their patients.

Z1—The unique tissue level
implant with a zirconia collar
The philosophy of the Z1 is
clear: it was specifically designed
to suit the anatomy of every patient.
It is the only tissue level implant
that adapts selected materials—
zirconia and titanium—to the surrounding tissue. Several generations of Z1 implants have succeeded
each other with the same goal: to
bring our users the highest-level
technology, surgical protocols, cli
nical outcomes and cost-effectiveness. United around this incom
parable game-changing technology,
Z1 users can rapidly learn how to
benefit from its advantages, ensuring peace of mind and total confi-

gan “Perfect surfaces”, EVE aims to
further optimise the areas in which
it has already excelled and to tap into
new industrial segments. In addition,
the company operates a certified
quality management system for the
development, production and sale of
medical and industrial products.
EVE products are available worldwide and are distributed via a network of experienced trade partners.

dence in the quality of their implant
services.
Unlike other dental implants,
which often involve several surgeries,
the Z1 implant combines these two noble and biocompatible materials for
better healing and long-term success
of the treatment. The Z1 implant is
placed in one procedure in the dental
practice, thus protecting the patient’s
gingivae. Only the Z1 offers an aesthetic, protective and long-lasting solution thanks to the ceramic at tissue
level, which mimics the colour of the
patient’s teeth—a benefit that patients
understand and love!
For all these reasons, the Z1 is as
unique as each patient’s smile!

GC focuses on quality, aesthetics
and ease of use

 In anticipation of the company’s
100 th anniversary in 2021, GC is
presenting an entirely new design
for its IDS 2019 booth, which is itself defi nitely worth a visit. It has
been created by the famous Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, who
also designed the New National
Stadium in Tokyo for the Summer
Olympic Games to be held in 2020
and many other famous buildings
all around the world. Its sophisticated, unusual design is inspired
by the tradition and aspiration for
quality of Japanese culture, providing the perfect backdrop for GC’s
presentation. At the booth, visitors

can receive further information on
the company’s product portfolio.
The latest material innovations in
ceramics, resin composite and
glass hybrid technology will be on
display, as well as the newest CAD/
CAM and digital solutions. A preview of the product highlights will
be shown at GC’s exclusive press
conference on Tuesday. The benefits of GC’s products can be experienced fi rst-hand during the
hands-on courses and laboratory
demonstrations held at the booth.
Additionally, internationally renowned dentists and technicians
will be presenting on current top-

 Over the past 20 years, low-temperature hydrogen peroxide plasma
sterilisation has been used for sterilising heat-sensitive and extremely
delicate medical devices, such as robotic surgery system components.
This exclusive technology ensures
maximum safety for healthcare professionals, patients and the environment: the sterilisation process byproducts are non-toxic oxygen and
steam. However, the large footprint
and the high price of these sterilisers in particular have restricted
their use to the most demanding hospital complexes.
After three years of continuous
development and large-scale investment by internationally recognised technology partners, the
Plasmapp—imported into Europe
by Helvemed—has revolutionised the field of small sterilisers
and introduced STERLINK to
the market, along with its
STERPACK pouches and
STERLOAD cartridges.
The low-temperature treatment provided by Plasmapp
systems ensures gentle sterilisation even of the most
delicate instruments,
thereby extending their
useful life and reducing the
high costs associated with
their maintenance and repair.
Turbines and contra-angles can
now be sterilised without steam

at only 57 °C in just seven minutes,
in complete safety and according to the
latest European guidelines. According to the cycle selected, there is a
time and productivity gain of between
50 and 90 per cent compared with
conventional steam sterilisers. The
sterilised instruments can then be
reused immediately.

A whiter smile starts with a CLICK
 BlancOne CLICK introduces a
new concept in tooth whitening,
allowing—for the first time ever—the
combination of dental hygiene ses-

sions with effective tooth whitening. Owing to its unique and innovative photochemical technology,
the BlancOne CLICK low-concentra-

tion bleaching gel (16 per cent carbamide peroxide) is activated in
just ten minutes, and no protection
needs to be applied.

38 th International Dental Show 2019

BlancOne CLICK is easy, fast
and effective, creates no sensitivity and is very cost-effective—
only €10 per treatment for the
dental clinic! It represents the perfect entry-level treatment to tooth
whitening and is a powerful marketing tool for the dental office.
It can be offered at the end of any
procedure, avoiding the need to
book a separate appointment, and
allows the clinic to set up lowcost promotions to attract new patients.
For optimal long-term results,
BlancOne has developed four strategies and additional treatments for
whiter smiles:
1. Repeat treatment with CLICK
every two to four months. It is very
mild on enamel and most patients
prefer paying for a low-cost (usually
around €50) treatment multiple
times per year.
2. Offer patients BlancOne Touch,
which is similar to CLICK, but more
intensive. Three applications are
performed in one session for more
shade improvements and a longer
lasting result. You can repeat this
once or twice a year.
3. Deliver immediate results inoffice with CLICK. Afterwards,
BlancOne Home can be used for
follow-up. Available in both day

(16 per cent carbamide peroxide)
and night (10 per cent carbamide
peroxide) versions, BlancOne Home
offers a three-in-one treatment, remineralising enamel with hydroxyapatite and nourishing gingivae with
hyaluronic acid.
4. BlancOne Xtra is a homebased maintenance programme that
consists of BlancOne STICK, a tooth
whitening pen (16 per cent carbamide peroxide), and BlancOne
DUETTO, a set of two different toothpastes providing intensive surface
whitening and 360° care of enamel
and soft tissue.
The range also includes BlancOne
ULTRA, a high-concentration gel
(35 per cent hydrogen peroxide)
to treat discolorations such as tetracycline staining and teeth of a very
dark shade.
Launched in Italy in 2016,
BlancOne has quickly become the
preferred choice of Italian dentists,
dental hygienists and their patients,
growing in sales 20 times faster
than the rest of the Italian in-office
tooth whitening market during the
fi rst half of 2018.

Citrox: A closer look at Perio Plus+’ secret ingredient
 The unique formulation of
CURAPROX’s new Perio Plus+ series
is largely thanks to the work of two
men: Christoph Fiolka, a chemist
specialised in oral care products, and
Howard Thomas, a prolific microbiologist with a passion for natural health
products, who sadly passed away this
past October. The chlorhexidine-based
formula of the series’ mouthwash,
toothpaste and gel was improved
with a natural supplement to optimise treatment results. The new formulation’s secret ingredient? Citrox.
“We were looking for a natural
antibacterial to use in dental products,” says Richard Thomas, managing director of Curaprox UK and
Howard Thomas’s son. “There were
only three main existing ones that
were very old and they all had a
number of negative aspects. In 2004,
I came across the substance we now
call Citrox, and immediately started
thinking about its benefits from a
dental point of view.”
Howard spent the following
thirteen years trying to understand
exactly how the bioflavonoid reacts
and what exactly makes it such a
potent antibacterial. The first Citroxbased mouthwashes followed shortly
afterwards and proved to work
amazingly well. Shortly before his
death, Howard updated the Citrox
formulation and presented it to
Christoph, who perfected it and developed the Perio Plus+ product
series.

Howard’s legacy
“During the Perio Plus+ project,
I mostly worked with Howard. I always experienced the collaboration
as very exciting, instructive and constructive,” Christoph says. “Howard
had already studied a variety of Citrox’ features and applications, so
needless to say, he had an incredible
wealth of experience. I received three
basic formulations for the mouthwash,
the gel and the toothpaste from him,
which I then expanded to a total of
six recipes and adapted to meet our
needs, such as creating a more
pleasant taste. Also, the combination
of Citrox and polylysine, another natural antibacterial, keeps Citrox in
the mouth for a longer period of time
and actively prevents irritation and
tooth discolouration, two common
side effects of purely chlorhexidinebased products. There is still a lot of
Howard’s approach in the formula,
if not mostly his, and his formulations
are the basis for the entire Perio Plus+
range.”

A natural alternative
With a move towards more natural products in the market, Citrox sets
a new gold standard. “The substance
is sourced from bitter oranges, which
people have been using as food for
centuries,” Christoph explains. “This
means that people have already gotten used to the ingredients and no side
effects are expected.” As subsequent
cytotoxicity studies have shown, this

Christoph Fiolka, developer of the final formulation of the Perio Plus+ product series.

is exactly the case. What’s more, there
seems to be no resistance to the product range, which makes the introduction of Citrox even more exciting,
as it could theoretically limit the use
of antibiotics and the rampant problem of antibiotic resistance.

“Citrox ticks all the boxes”
“Apart from being all-natural, organic and hypoallergenic, the beauty
of Citrox is that it is very effective at
killing bacteria at very low levels,”
Richard says. “Citrox ticks all the

boxes. Most importantly, it has the
amazing ability to break down biofilm,
the beginning of all oral disease.” As
a result, Citrox, combined with chlorhexidine, is more effective than chlorhexidine on its own. Take plaque
for example—bacteria hide in plaque.
Citrox breaks down the biofilm and
the remaining bacteria are left exposed to the chlorhexidine, which is
why Perio Plus+ is more effective than
any other antiseptic that only uses
chlorhexidine. Or as Richard concludes: “It’s a double whammy.”

 This patent-pending device is the
first of its kind, using near-infrared
technology to rapidly warm composite compules. At the touch of a button, Phasor is able to heat any composite material to 65.6 °C in under
one minute, and sustain a constant
temperature throughout the entire procedure, unlike conventional
war mers. Materials remain highly
sculptable, non-sticky and easily
shaped.
Dentists are continually looking
for innovations that improve patient
outcomes while shortening chair

Firstly, heat significantly lowers the
material viscosity, thereby improving adaptation and polymerisation,

 The fi rst manufacturer of dental
units in southern Italy, Miglionico,
was founded in 2000. Today, we sell
dental units in over 40 countries
worldwide. We work with high-quality materials such as polyurethane,
glass, ceramic and stainless steel
for maximum hygiene and durability. The units are made in Italy and
the entire production process takes

Produits Dentaires to introduce new irrigation needle at IDS 2019
An interview with Marketing and Communication Director Alexandre Vieira about IrriFlex, a new-generation irrigation needle.
By Dental Tribune International
 Produits Dentaires (PD), a familyowned company that has built a strong
international brand synonymous with
Swiss quality, will be launching new
products and introducing its new digital corporate identity at IDS 2019. According to Marketing and Communication Director Alexandre Vieira, the
event will mark the beginning of a
new era for the company. One of the
products that will be launched is
IrriFlex, a new-generation irrigation
needle that Vieira says performs powerful and complete irrigation of the
root canal.
Produits Dentaires will be launching a
number of products at IDS. The company’s R & D departments must have
been busy leading up to the event.
Indeed, the team that has worked
on these projects did a fantastic job.
We are proud to announce that IDS
will see the global unveiling and
launch of five new products from PD.
We will be introducing a new PD MTA
White formula, a new range of PD
paper points, a new range of PD guttapercha points, EssenSeal, an exclusive
root canal obturation sealer featuring
tea tree essential oil (melaleuca), and
IrriFlex, an innovative irrigation
needle that will set a new standard
in root canal irrigation.

Let’s focus on the IrriFlex needle.
Can you tell us about its design?
IrriFlex is a new generation of irrigation needles designed to enable
more effective cleaning and disinfection in root canal therapy owing to its
unique flexibility and exceptional

smear layer and biofilm—in areas impossible to reach with conventional
metal needles. The needles are made
in Switzerland, produced in a clean
room certified ISO 7, and delivered in
individually sealed pouches designed
for single-patient use, thus maximising
safety. With this new needle, PD helps
general dentists and specialists to perform root canal irrigation more efficiently, comfortably and safely.

What is different about IrriFlex?
The IrriFlex needle solves
a common problem for dentists:
how to irrigate complex root canal systems completely and efficiently. Combining a soft
polypropylene
body

with a unique lateral solution delivery, PD has designed a
closed-ended 30 gauge needle that can
easily adapt to the canal anatomy, irrigate effortlessly and clean areas previously impossible to reach. The result
is enhanced cleaning and irrigation
for a more efficient and comfortable
treatment compared with conventional metal needles.
How does the needle perform in
cleaning and irrigation, and what
treatment benefits does it offer?

PD’s patented needle design
encompasses two side
vents, positioned back
to back at the tip for
powerful lateral irrigation, and the
design has a tapered shape to
match root canal prepa ration, unlike metal needles. The four per cent
tapered design maximises the shear
stress along the root canal walls to
improve mechanical cleaning effi cacy.
The IrriFlex needle safely performs powerful and complete irrigation of the root canal to improve re-

What does IrriFlex tell us about the
company’s growing portfolio?
IrriFlex is the cornerstone of our
expansion strategy in the dental irrigation segment. Our expertise in the
design and manufacture of plastic injection moulded parts has opened
doors to new opportunities in R & D.
We are exploring new concepts towards improved removal of hard and
soft deposits from root canals.
IDS is now just around the corner.
What else can readers expect to see at
the PD booth?
IDS is an excellent opportunity for
PD to meet with dental professionals

Vector celebrates its 20th anniversary
 The key factor in the development
of periodontal disease is the presence
of periodontal pathogens in the gingival pocket or in the peri-implant sulcus. A central element in the treatment of this disease, for which there
are many different causes, is the subgingival removal of biofilm and calculus with simultaneous preservation

lation, conventional sonic and ultrasonic instruments produce vibrations
in removing deposits. This leads to
irritation and loss of substance on the
root surface. The introduction of the
Vector principle by Dürr Dental in
1999 represented a real breakthrough
and revolutionised periodontal therapy. The high standards of the three

method is that it gives therapists the
option of using a polishing suspension with the rinsing fluid. The addition of this hydroxyapatite-based polishing suspension aids the removal of

of regenerative tissue.
For decades,
cleaning the periodontal pockets with hand instruments was regarded as the method
of choice. This was often associated
with great time and effort for the
therapist, and the procedure was
often painful for the patient. However,
over time, an increasing number of
dentists concluded that the invasive
removal of calculus and infl amed
tissue may actually hinder regeneration. This prompted the world of dentistry to seek alternative solutions.
Sonic and ultrasonic instruments
established themselves as an alternative to the classic hand instruments
for gentler cleaning of the root surface
without sharp instruments. The purpose was to achieve effective cleaning
while preserving regenerative tissue.
Depending on the direction of oscil-

units available today (Vector Paro
with Paro handpiece, Vector Scaler
with Scaler handpiece and Vector
Paro Pro with both handpieces) are
the result of a unique history of development by Dürr Dental as a pioneer in
the field of linear vibration deflection
both in the past and in the future.
Thanks to the 90° deflection of the
ultrasonic vibrations, the instruments
in the Vector series only move axially
parallel to the root surface, which
enables vibration-free and minimally
invasive treatment. This allows clinically efficient and atraumatic treatment using ultrasonic energy. The
linear direction of movement and the
large selection of individually shaped
instruments make it easier to work
even in anatomically difficult-to-access
areas. The tooth substance is preserved and the biofilm and hard deposits are removed thoroughly yet
more gently than with any other sys-

by Dürr Dental optimises the polishing and reduces hypersensitivity
after the treatment by sealing the
dentinal tubules, thus minimising
the transmission of stimuli. In recent
years, the Vector system has gained
a firm place in periodontal maintenance. The unique technology is a
reflection of Dürr Dental’s systembased approach, evident in all the
divisions of the company, in keeping
with its motto: “The best, by design”.
The major anniversary of the Vector
system this year not only stands for
20 years of successful periodontal therapy with a unique complete system
for subgingival and supragingival applications, it is also a milestone for the
further development of the system.

Check out the newest intraoral scanners, including 3DISC’s Heron IOS, at IDS
n In March, IDS opens its doors to
exhibitors and dental professionals
from all over the world. Dentists at
tending to gain an overview of the
market for intraoral scanning and
digital dentistry will experience a
complete showcase of scanners. With
this amount of diversity, how can a
dentist navigate this rapidly deve
loping marketplace? To help with this,
3DISC provides, from our experience,
the top five selection criteria to keep
in mind:
1. Technical features: Open ar
chitecture and the ability to scan in
OBJ, STL and PLY offer the flexibility
to work with any open-platform soft
ware. Overall accuracy and digital
scan quality should also be consid
ered.
2. The weight, size and ergonomics of the scanner impact its daily use.
3. The learning curve and ease of
use are relevant for both time in
vested in each scan and training staff
to operate the scanner.
4. The range of restorations your
practice needs, and whether this re
quires an advanced or less advanced
model should be considered.
5. The price model is key, as
some solutions come with an addi
tional data plan and ongoing costs,
such as licence fees. With a one-time
affordable payment, you can in effect
redirect the cost for impression mate

rial to pay off part of your intraoral
scanner investment.
Another way to gain more knowl
edge is to look for independent re
search in the field. Industry players
often work with scientific teams who
provide valuable independent re
search to both dentists and manufac
turers. 3DISC recently joined a study
in digital dentistry at Aarhus Univer
sity to contribute to the research and
gain important knowledge and feed
back for the future development of
our Heron IOS. The purpose and re
sult of the study is to help general
practitioners navigate in this field,
by providing independent scientific
research.
“We cooperate with many manu
facturers of scanning devices, and we
put all scanners through a standard
test protocol, investigating different
aspects of digital dentistry in prostho
dontics,” Dr Yasser Haddadi of Aarhus
University’s Department of Dentistry
and Oral Health told 3DISC. “By test
ing the scanners clinically, as well as
in laboratory settings, we gain and
share that knowledge with manufac
turers to improve and expand the dig
ital field.”
3DISC then asked Haddadi to
give his take on the current situation
of the competitive landscape:
“The intraoral scanning field is
very competitive and dynamic and

has been for some years. Previously,
there was a huge gap between the
field leaders and the newer scanners,
but I believe the new players are ra
pidly catching up,” he said.
So, don’t miss out on the new scan
ner solutions on display at IDS—there’s
sure to be the right solution for you.

At IDS, 3DISC is showcasing
Heron IOS, one of the newest in
traoral scanners on the market. A
compact colour scanner weighing
only 150 g, it is easy to use, ergo
nomic and available at a one-time
affordable payment with no addi
tional costs. If a reasonable price,

e rgonomics and simplicity in daily

Direct stratification composite veneers
By Dr Jordi Manauta, Italy
Introduction
n In the past, the most frequent
concerns related to dentistry were
healthy teeth and an attractive smile.
The demand for aesthetic and conser
vative dentistry has increased signifi
AD

cantly in the last decade owing to pa
tient desires. Nowadays, aesthetics
matters—perfect smiles are a must,
and it has been proved that they in
fluence the patient’s self-esteem and
psychosocial well-being.1

Based on scientific statistics
and clinical data, direct stratifi
cation composite veneers offer a
valid solution for aesthetic reha
bilitation in the anterior region.
Less expensive than a traditional

ceramic solution, direct stratifi
cation composite veneers can be
performed in a single treatment
session and can be modified during
the stratification process to meet
the patient’s needs.

Additionally, the evolution of
standard and nano-filled compos
ites has led to improved mechan 
ical properties and wear resis
tance. 2, 3 A recent meta-analysis of
prospective studies on anterior
composite restorations showed a
median overall estimated survival
rate of 84.6 % after five years of
clinical service. 3
Most common complications re
lated to direct stratification com
posite veneers are fracturing, caries,
staining, colour deterioration and
change in surface roughness.3, 4, 5, 6, 7
However, the easy repair properties
of composite materials may solve
these complications. Furthermore,
direct restorations do not need
enamel roughening, as etching with
phosphoric acid is enough to im
prove bond strength.

Technique
Direct stratification composite
veneers entail the direct application
of one or more layers of composite
resin directly to the tooth structure.
The composite is then sculpted to
the desired colour and shape, allow
ing aesthetic restoration to be gen 
erally accomplished in a single
appointment.8
Different tools can be used to re
store the correct shape and the emer
gence profiles of anterior teeth. Pre
viously, the most common procedure
for restoration using direct stratifi
cation composite veneers entailed
the restoration of interproximal and
cervical margins in two different
steps, using two posterior matrices
for the interproximal margins and a
matrix band cut to a specific shape
for the restoration of the cervical
area, respectively.
In the case we report on in this
article, we opted for the new Unica
anterior matrix from Polydentia, as
it simplifies the procedure, allow
ing the dentist to directly restore
the emergence profile and cervical
and interproximal margins in a
single step. Employing this new
matrix, the tooth’s surfaces are
first prepared and cleaned to ac
commodate the composite veneer.
The matrix is then positioned on
the teeth and fixed in place. Usu
ally, plastic or wooden wedges can
be used to ensure a proper fixing
of the matrix. As an alternative,
for example in the case of wide
Class III restorations where the
wedge placement could compro
mise the interproximal profile by
collapsing the matrix into the ca
vity, a liquid dam (e.g. myCustom
Resin, Polydentia) can be used to
hold the matrix in place.
Composite stratification is then
performed. First of all, the emer
gence profile is restored followed
by modelling of the palatal walls.
A rough tooth morphology is then
reconstructed with the application
of one or more layers of composite
and sculptured with one or more
layers of composite. The final shape
of the tooth is then contoured using
burs, abrasive discs and polishing
appliances.

Case report
The patient, a 52-year-old wo
man, came to our attention dissatis
fied with her smile. She presented
with maxillary anterior teeth with
an inadequate anatomy and a frac
ture of tooth #11. The clinical exa
mination revealed caries-free teeth
and satisfactory oral hygiene. After
the anamnesis and clinical exam

ination, we decided to proceed
with four direct composite veneers
on all central and lateral incisors
u sing a fully adhesive and additive
technique with minimal prepara
tion.
The following images of this
case illustrate the direct composite
veneering procedure using the new
Unica anterior matrix.

Thanks to the evolution of com
posite materials, direct stratification
composite veneers are nowadays
a valid, quick and less exp ensive
solution for aesthetic rehabilitation
in the anterior region. Successful
aesthetic and functional results are
nevertheless strongly dependent on
the operator’s understanding of ad
hesive processes and his or her
sculpting ability.

Different tools and procedures
can help the clinician to properly
restore the emergence profile. Among
these, the new Unica anterior ma
trix stands out because of its sim
plicity and versatility, allowing the
dentist to quickly and easily restore
both cervical and interproximal
profiles at the same time, greatly
reducing the chair time and bringing
aesthetic restorations within every
one’s reach.

Handy Surgery:
Beyond the simple dental unit

 In recent years,
the importance of
dental clinics specialising in surgical treatments,
and maxillofacial
surgery in particular, has increased. However, the equipment
that was available on the market
was unable to keep up with this rising trend.
With the Handy Surgery product
line, Tecnomed Italia was able to replicate the most important characteristics of a real operating room, producing products inspired by a dental
unit, but with more advanced functions.
Made entirely in Italy and designed to meet all the needs of a polyclinic, this product range is ideal for
AD

specialised medical clinics that offer
a wide range of services, including
dental, cosmetic, dermatological, gynaecological and otolaryngeal treatments.
Handy Surgery is synonymous
with:
– Versatility—the equipment and accessories can be adapted to the individual needs of each clinic.
– Linearity—the minimal design and
materials that are used give the entire range a professional and
streamlined visual look, sending a
message of cleanliness and safety
to patients.
– Exclusivity—the entire line has two
patents that certify its uniqueness
and level of innovation for professional orthodontic treatments and
more.

The main feature of the product
line is the Morpheus dental chair.
Due to its four motors, it can easily
be transformed into a surgical bed,
adapting itself to a dental professional’s every need. Aspirol and
Maycart, the water group and the
quiver, respectively, both with a cart,
represent maximum versatility and
can be approached or moved away
from the intervention area. Thanks to
the Quadriled lamp, the area of intervention is highly illuminated and free
of shadows, plus, it is as handy as a
dental lamp.
Would you like to become a distributor of the Handy Surgery line?

OXY Implant Fixo line
 The Fixo line consists of one-stage implants, ideal for the
surgeon planning an
immediate loading
procedure. The onepiece body integrates
a multi-unit abutment with an angulation of 0°, 17° or 30°, in order to resolve the lack of parallelism consequent to the insertion of implants
with different inclinations. In consequence, Fixo is safe, as the absence
of a connection between the implant
and the abutment helps avoid problems resulting from bacterial infiltrations and micro-movements.
The chamfer is of a considerably
reduced size. In the morphologically
worst case (17° angulation of the multiunit abutment platform and 2.0 mm

with the consequent
safeguard of the bone
quantity.
The connection
between the prosthesis and Fixo is realised
with an M1.8 screw,
which is 2.5 mm in length and can be
tightened to a torque of 30 Ncm. In
this way, the problem of the possible
breakage of the small M1.4 screws
conventionally used for screwed prostheses, owing to the considerable masticatory loads, is prevented.
Considering the perfect coaxiality of the multi-unit abutment
and implant monobloc and the reduced diameter of the chamfer, Fixo
is easy to use with the most popular
guided surgery systems. With these
characteristics, during its insertion,

collar), in rotating Fixo around the vertical axis its outermost point is on a
4.8 mm diameter circle, compared
with the 7.0 mm diameter obtained in
the same way with a conventional
multi-unit abutment and implant system. This means that, even in the most
unfavourable situation, Fixo can be inserted without the use of bone mills,

there is no interference with the guiding sleeves positioned in the surgical guide. The template is easily removed at the end of the intervention.
Fixo is available in diameters of
3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 mm and lengths of
10.0, 11.5, 13.0, 15.0 and 17.0 mm.

Ultimate patient comfort
 Your practice revolves around
your dental chair, with every patient sitting there whether for a
check-up or an implant. If your
dental chair is designed to suit the
space and workflow of your practice, it can make a significant difference to the efficiency and level of
service that your patients receive.
This is particularly important for
dentists with a large number of restorative cases, where the patient may be
in the chair for a prolonged period.
Advanced and comfort-focused dental
equipment, such as the A-dec 500, can
help keep patients comfortable and relaxed, even during long procedures.
The A-dec 500 has a pressuremapped, contoured back-rest—without thick upholstery—for superior patient comfort and shoulder and elbow
support provided by armrests that

pivot forward, ensuring you have uncompromised access to the oral cavity.
A-dec’s award-winning A-dec 500
LED dental light, with its bright daylight-balanced light temperature and
unique cure-safe mode for working
with composites, contributes to an ergonomic working environment. The
broad spread of light and innovative
stadium effect from the overlapping
LEDs minimises shadowing, and the
softly feathered light pattern reduces
eye fatigue.
If you are looking to invest in
new dental equipment this year,
make sure to stop by the A-dec
Booth D010 at IDS, located in Hall
11.1, to discuss the most ergonomic
options for your practice.

W&H sets new standards in periodontology with NIWOP
An interview with Bernhard Eder, W&H product manager pf prophylaxis and periodontology.
By W&H
 In 2018, W&H unveiled the “No Implantology without Periodontology”
(NIWOP) treatment workflow. With
this workflow, W&H highlights the
importance of a healthy periodontal
condition prior to implantation.
In this interview, Bernhard Eder,
W&H product manager of prophylaxis and periodontology, discusses
why W&H is setting new standards in
periodontology and which advantages users can expect.

Mr Eder, could you please give us a
brief overview of NIWOP?
Millions of people worldwide are
affected by periodontitis. It has been
scientifically proven that this chronic
illness leads to complications when
implants are used. In extreme cases, it
may even lead to the loss of implants.
The importance of a stable tissue condition is sufficiently well-known, but
more emphasis must be placed on the
necessary periodontal pre-treatment
and follow-up care processes. Under
the term “NIWOP”, W&H has developed a holistic workflow, which represents the best possible treatment plan
for patients, in a simplified process.
Could you please give us brief insight
into the development of the NIWOP
workflow?
For years, W&H has been
strongly represented in the dental
implantology sector by devices, such
as Implantmed and Piezomed. The
sharing of experiences with many
expert implantologists and periodontologists was also an integral
part of it. One issue that was raised
during many discussions was the

Bernhard Eder, W&H product manager of prophylaxis and periodontology, discusses why W&H is setting standards in periodontology and which advantages users can expect.

previously mentioned connection
between periodontitis and peri-implantitis. For this reason, W&H has
decided to use NIWOP to address the

issues of prophylaxis and periodontology application areas, along with
those of oral surgery and implantology. I would like to point out that

“No Implantology without Periodontology” is not a W&H invention, but
the bottom line of numerous scientific
publications. During the development
of the detailed NIWOP workflow, W&H
has been supported by several experts, including Dr Karl-Ludwig Ackermann and Prof. Ralf Rößler.
Which target groups is NIWOP aiming
at?
NIWOP is aimed at all dentists
working in the field of implantology
and dental hygienists who provide
pre-treatment and follow-up care. In
the field of follow-up care in particular, dental hygienists play an important role as they contribute significantly to implant preservation.
What advantages can users expect
from the suggested workflow?
Of course, NIWOP cannot guarantee successful treatment. However,
evaluations by scientific publications
have shown that treatment carried out
according to the NIWOP workflow can
significantly increase implant success.
Which W&H products would you recommend for an operation according
to the NIWOP workflow?
W&H is the only manufacturer
that can provide products for every
single step in the NIWOP workflow.
During implantation, particular emphasis should be placed on Implantmed and Piezomed surgical devices. The functionalities of Implantmed are perfectly adapted to the requirements of implantologists when
inserting implants. In addition, the
W&H Osstell ISQ module provides in-

formation on when is the correct time
for loading an implant. In addition,
when bone blocks or lateral windows
are being prepared for augmentations,
Piezomed, along with Implantmed,
bones can be treated gently and effectively. Special instrument tips for the
piezo-surgical preparation of the implantation site are also available.
In terms of pre- and post-treatment, the Tigon+ Piezo scaler is a highlight. Tigon+ is easy and comfortable
to use and treats the patient with a
warm fluid. This minimises the irritation of sensitive teeth and increases
patient compliance. The Piezo scaler
tip range is adapted to the many requirements of periodontological treatment and the supportive periodontitis
treatment and biofilm management.
A special PEEK-coated tip is available
for the gentle cleaning of the implantborne crown during a check-up.
The professional mechanical removal of plaque and biofilm is also an
integral part of the pre- and post-treatment process. This is where the new
Proxeo TWIST LatchShort polishing
system comes into play. The working
height of the system is 4 mm lower
than that of standard latch systems.
For users, this means more mobility
in oral cavities.
How can interested users find out
more about NIWOP?
W&H will be taking the NIWOP
process to a number of trade fairs and
congresses in 2019. The IDS 2019 in
Cologne must be highlighted, of course.
In the meantime, there is also

What else Cologne has to offer
Are you a night owl? Do you enjoy fine art? Do you have a sweet tooth or crave fried foods?
A detour into the heart of Cologne can fulfill these and many other desires.

is definitely worth spending an
evening at one of these.
During IDS, you should also consider taking a break, every once in a
while, to rest your feet. And what better
way to do so than by enjoying a piece
of homemade pie and a cup of hot coffee? Visit the cosy and slightly hidden
Kaffeebud Ehrenfeld (www.kaffeebud.
net) to find out what a “third wave” coffee is. If you’re looking for something
a little less fancy, you might prefer
Cafecafe Ehrenfeld (www.cafecafe.de).
With coffee close to its heart, this café
offers refuge from the hustle and bustle
of the Rhine metropolis in the form of

Cologne in the day
Yes, the landmark of the Rhine
city might be the Cologne Cathedral, but Cologne has so much more
to offer. For instance, a trip to the
Heinzelmännchen fountain, the city
hall, or the Melaten cemetery is
highly recommended. The last covers an area of over 435,000 m2 and
features many impressive memorials and tombs. If you want to get
to know Cologne from a completely
different perspective, however, then
the “So wor et fröher” district tour
could be something for you. The
tour explores Cologne’s red-light
district as it was during the sixties
and seventies in the area between
Eigelstein and Friesenviertel. The
Kölner Lachexpedition, in contrast,
could be considered quite the opposite to this lascivious trip into the
city’s past (www.lachexpedition.de/
touren/koelner -lachexpedition).
The sightseeing tour, initially developed by Klaus-Jürgen “Knacki”
Deuser, among others, offers a unique mix of informative anecdotes
and entertaining comedy. Lastly,
you can experience the traditional
brewhouse culture of Cologne fi rsthand in a 2-hour tour that includes
all kinds of local breweries—both
well-known ones and local secrets
(www.koeln-brauhaustouren.de). In
terms of both history and taste, it

creamy lattes and authentic New Yorkstyle cheesecake—also not to be overlooked is the breakfast, which includes
homemade spreads that come highly
recommended.
Just a couple of blocks down the
street is a locale that will appeal to
you if you have a predisposition to
nostalgia: Café Schwesterherz offers
a quaint coffee-house vibe and a familiar living room atmosphere (www.
schwesterherz-koeln.de). If you are
longing for a holiday feel, however,
a visit to Sabor ’ermoso is just the
ticket: between surfboards hanging
on the walls and little Spanish delicacies, the cappuccino in this café
tastes almost twice as good. Located in the south of Cologne, Sabor
’ermoso is the perfect place to unwind and recharge your batteries
after a busy day of dental business
in the halls (saborermoso.com).

Cologne at night
Enjoy your stay at Cologne even
after the doors of the IDS trade fair
have closed. After all, you will be in
one of Germany’s most vibrant and
charming cities. As the sun goes
down, Cologne reawakens in a different light: after hitting a “Büdchen”
kiosk for a beer—or two—to go, locals
will make their way to their favourite
Kölsch-serving bar, so why not join
them?

38 th International Dental Show 2019

The trendy bar Zum scheuen Reh
is located next to the Köln West train
station and is perfect for starting the
evening: get to know some Cologne
locals while enjoying a couple of long
drinks and the live music on offer in
the bar’s outdoor area (www.zumscheuen-reh.de). Every Thursday is
Gin & Tonic day and glasses are
served for only €2—different brands
of gin can be tried for an extra €1.
Afterwards, you can hit Bumann & SOHN, which is close to the
Ehrenfeld train station. It is here
that beer garden atmosphere meets
urban industrial vibes, and where
the dynamic, alternative flair of the
young district can be felt best
(www.bumannundsohn.de). Coming
early pays off!
The next destination is STAPEL.
BAR, which is located within walking
distance from Bumann & SOHN at
the heart of the Helios district. At
STAPEL.BAR, you can buy freshly brewed Gaffel Kölsch from the barrel and
experience a colourful music programme, including DJs, live acts and
local artists (www.stapel.bar). Are you
intrigued by the original steel dartboard? Then this is also the place for
a casual round of darts. If you are in
the mood for dancing, you can spend
the rest of the night in the northern
part of Cologne between Ehrenfeld
and Nippes, at the Odonien nightclub
to be exact. Apart from concerts,
plays, flea markets and open-air film
showings, you can dance to predominantly electronic club music in the
midst of obscure metal sculptures
and impressive fireworks.

Arts and culture
As far as arts and culture are concerned, Cologne has a great deal to
offer. In the special exhibition “Andy
Warhol—Pop goes art”, the Museum
für Angewandte Kunst Köln is presenting a private collection not previously shown to the public. The exhibition features sketches and drafts
and almost every record cover de© lliya Mitskavets – stock.adobe.com

 Heinrich Böll, Jacques Offenbach,
Konrad Adenauer and Anne Will—
their stories could not be more different and yet they all share one thing:
their birthplace. Cologne, which is
considered to be the stronghold of
both the German carnival tradition
as well as the art trade, has something for everyone. With all of the
cultural and culinary offerings that
characterise this always-laughing city,
you will certainly get your money’s
worth once the IDS halls close each
day. Read on for tips and suggestions
for fulfilling your thirst for urban adventure!

signed, conceptualised and produced
by the artist. Moreover, the WallrafRichartz-Museum is showing 130
loaned works from well-known collections and museums in the US and
Europe. The survey exhibition “Once
upon a time in America” features
pieces from over 300 years of American art, including works by Edward
Hopper, Mark Rothko and Jackson
Pollock. In addition, the “Under the
magnifying glass” exhibition at the
Museum Schnütgen is highly recommended, as is the anniversary exhibition “All under heaven”, which celebrates 40 years of the Museum für
Ostasiatische Kunst Köln.
However, an insider tip is to visit
the Museum Ludwig at the Cologne
Heinrich-Böll-Platz. The gallery, which
resembles the Tate Modern in London in terms of its artistic content,
is exhibiting works from British artists David Hockney and Richard
Hamilton until April 2019. Further information on the exhibition schedule
can be found online (www.museumludwig.de).
In addition, if you enjoy watching
historical retrospectives, previews or
premieres of independent film productions, then the Filmforum NRW is
for you. The entrance is situated on
the south side of the museum (www.
filmforumnrw.de). Another highlight
for cineastes is the ODEON: the cosy,
retro-style movie theatre often shows
interesting European art-house productions (www.odeon-koeln.de).
Theatre-goers can attend the premiere of Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe at the Freies Werkstatt Theater Köln on 15 March (www.
fwt-koeln.de). And music lovers can
enjoy concerts by the talented Electronica musician RY X in the Carlswerk Victoria on 13 March and Manfred Mann’s Earth Band in the
Kantine on 16 March.

Food and drinks
Whether you are interested in
music, literature or history, Cologne

and its peculiarities are best explored
with a full tummy. For quite some
time now, an unofficial institution of
the city has been the falafel. Usually,
it is freshly made with coriander or
parsley (either Lebanese or Syrian
style) and fried to perfection. In Cologne, these spicy chickpea balls
taste like nowhere else in Germany—
preferably with a giant spoon full of
tahini. Try it yourself: take a stroll
down Venloer Street in the young, vibrant district of Ehrenfeld and see
how long you can resist the smell of
the various oriental bistros and cafés.
The best falafel can be found at the
traditional Habibi (www.habibi-koeln.
de), in doughnut shape at Vegan Food
Revolution (www.vegan-food-revolution.de), at Beirut while enjoying a
beautiful view over the Rhine (www.
beirut-restaurant.de) or at the authentic Libanon Restaurant (libanonrestaurant.metro.bar).
In case, however, your tastes are
more carnivorous, then you should
pay Karl Hermann’s a visit. Also located on Venloer Street, here you
will find high-quality burgers with
freshly minced and succulently
grilled meat patties—free from antibiotics—in a fluffy brioche bun (www.
karlhermanns.de). If you still have
some room left afterwards, you can
hit Frittenwerk Köln for some delicious homemade fries (www.frittenwerk.com/koeln). Enjoy ones made
from regular or sweet potatoes with
chive-and-cheese topping. Whatever
you choose, make sure to also try the
lemon aioli and the homemade guacamole. Naturally, humans are no
goats and these large amounts of
salt need to be counteracted somehow, which is why a visit to one of
the Kölsch-serving traditional restaurants is a necessity. Enjoy a
chilled Kölsch beer like a true local
at Bierhaus en d’r Salzgass or Weinhaus Vogel, where not only simple,
authentic Cologne food is served,
but the spirit of the city can be experienced. 

Passport and Visa
Schengen regulations mean EU
nationals do not require a visa to
enter the Federal Republic of Germany. Additionally, passport holders of 62 other nations may enter
the country without a visa for business and travel purposes and remain for up to 90 days. All other foreign nationals must hold a valid
visa to visit the country. Visit the
website of the Federal Foreign Office for the most current information: www.auswaertiges-amt.de/en

Getting to Cologne
Travellers from around Europe
and further afield can get to Cologne
by air, rail or car. Cologne Bonn Airport is served by most European and
international airlines and is located
just outside of the city. Düsseldorf
Airport is 65 km from Koelnmesse
and the European aviation hub of
Frankfurt Airport is located around
180 km from the fairground.
Travellers arriving by air can
take advantage of special prices being offered by the IDS official airline, the Lufthansa Group, and those
travelling by rail can make use of discounted fares offered by the German
train service, Deutsche Bahn. See the
IDS site for comprehensive travel
information: www.ids-cologne.de

Airport transfer
The IDS organisers recommend
that visitors use rail services to reach

Cologne
and Koelnmesse from
the Cologne
Bonn, Düsseldorf
and Frankfurt airports. Cologne Bonn Airport has its
own train station, and Line 13 on
the suburban railway or the Regional Express will bring visitors to
the Köln Messe/Deutz train station in around 12 minutes. Taxis
depart from the airport at Terminal 2, and a fare to the city costs
between €25 and €30. A rail journey from Düsseldorf Airport to
Cologne will take about an hour,
and the Cologne main station (Köln
Hauptbahnhof) can be reached from
Frankfurt Airport in just over
50 minutes using Germany’s highspeed ICE trains. See the IDS travel
link already given for detailed information.

Banking and currency
Germany uses the euro as legal
tender and the exchange rates as at
17 January were €0.87 to US$1,
€1.12 to £1 and €0.00807 to ¥1. Buy
local currency at reputable exchange offices, located at airports
and most train stations, or banks.
Credit card usage in Germany is not
as prevalent as in other countries
and is limited to larger department
stores, hotels, petrol stations and
some restaurants. Debit cards are
more widely accepted, but some
businesses and restaurants only accept cash. Ask at the counter before
being seated. Banks are generally
open during business hours on
weekdays.

Medical insurance
Germany has a high standard of
medical care, but emergency treatment for non-EU citizens can be
costly. A health insurance policy for
IDS visitors and exhibitors from
abroad is highly recommended.

No Implantology without Periodontology.
Some things do belong together: Just as the Yin needs the Yang,
Implantology needs Periodontology. Because, otherwise it would
be incomplete.
