IDEM Singapore makes grand return this year
Leading Asia Pacific dental exhibition and conference finally back to its in-person format

From 19 June to 19 August 2020,
IDEM was conducted online for the
first time owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related restrictions
on in-person events. According to the
organisers, 3,615 attendees from
54 countries and 304 exhibitors from
36 countries participated over the
period. The conference featured a
mix of 27 conference sessions, both

and an online business matching
programme.
As for the virtual exhibition part
of the event, Koelnmesse reported
that 80% of the companies who showcased their products expressed that
they are likely to recommend IDEM
to their colleagues and friends and
are likely to return to another event

organised by Koelnmesse and the
SDA. A total of 6,658 booth views in
the digital exhibition hall were generated during the period.
In January 2022, Koelnmesse
and the SDA announced the postponement of this year’s IDEM Singapore to October owing to the travel
and safety restrictions in place at
the time in the Asia Pacific region.
They stressed the importance of dental industry professionals being able
to travel to Singapore to attend the
event in person.
Now, IDEM 2022 participants
can look forward to a comprehensive
and exciting event programme. This
includes a full-day SDA masterclass
featuring a lecture, titled “Implants
in Stage III and IV periodontitis patients: Benefits and risks”, delivered
by Prof. Maurizio Tonetti from the
Shanghai Jiao Tong University School
of Medicine in China.
The trade exhibition is taking
place in a 14,000 m2 exhibition hall and
showcasing approximately 500 exhibiting brands from over 30 countries,
including more than 40 new international exhibiting companies participating for the first time in IDEM.
In addition, the exhibition is hosting
long-standing pavilion partners from
Germany, Switzerland and the US, as
well as returning and new sponsors.
Attendees can also look forward
to a symposium held by the Asso-

ciation for Oral Health Therapists
(AOHT) in Singapore in collaboration
with IDEM. The symposium brings
together two cornerstone events, the
AOHT annual congress and IDEM’s
Dental Hygienist and Therapist
Forum.

New IDEM highlights
IDEM 2022 features an exclusive
on-site Singapore Speaker Series covering a carefully curated selection of
topics on comprehensive, conservative
approaches to dentistry.
“We have curated a slew of exciting conference sessions for IDEM
2022 and are excited to introduce
one of the brand-new programmes,
the Singapore Speaker Series, to

live and pre-recorded, conducted by
28 local and international speakers.
The online conference covered a
wide array of topics, which provided
something for every dental practitioner. The digital event also featured
several networking activities for all
attendees, including three networking
nights, a leader board competition

“As organisers of IDEM, we are
excited to bring back the exhibition and
conference in person after four years.
While continuing education has been
ongoing digitally, based on feedback
we have received from our partners,
exhibitors and delegates, the in-person
experience cannot be replaced. A
physical event will ensure that participants will once again get to connect
face to face with speakers, exhibitors
and peers to learn about the latest
developments in dentistry,” said
Mathias Kuepper, the managing director of Koelnmesse.

Bay Sands in Singapore under the
theme “Building Resilience in Dentistry”.
Organised by Koelnmesse and the
Singapore Dental Association (SDA),
IDEM 2022 features over 30 scientific
conference sessions, including hands-on
workshops, a full-day masterclass and
exhibits, complemented with hybrid
elements to ensure a holistic experience
for all participants.

showcase our local speakers. The
IDEM conference will provide participants with the opportunity to learn
about the latest in clinical research
and pick up practical skills as well,”
noted Dr Lawrence Yong, president of
the SDA.
Additionally, the event is providing IDEM360+, a new digital community platform that offers participants
more opportunities to network, connect, share and learn information before and after IDEM 2022. IDEM360+
enables participants to do business
matching, find networking opportunities with the on-site lead generation feature, book meeting slots,
watch on-demand content and more.
IDEM360+ also marks a shift towards sustainability for IDEM. In a
bid to reduce bulk printed materials,
the IDEM360+ digital platform and
app can be used as an all-in-one tool
for scheduling and navigating the
event.
Finally, attendees have the opportunity to experience the Innovation
Arena, a novel initiative that aims
to nurture young companies to grow
with IDEM and assist even those in
non-dental industries to expand their
network at IDEM 2022. The Innovation
Arena features insightful presentations showcasing the latest innovations and products targeted at the
dental market.

Programme highlights at a glance
Hands-on workshop

 Presenter: Dr Christopher Ho, prosthodontist
from Australia
 Date and time: 7 October, 9:00–12:00
Dr Ho will share step-by-step procedures
to allow participants to master direct resin
restoration via practical hands-on experience.
Participants will learn how to perform predictable adhesive procedures, select shade for different materials, utilise different opacities of composite resin to sculpt a multilayered restoration
replicating natural aesthetics, and visualise
the anatomical form and morphology
of teeth. Additionally, participants
can expect to learn simplified and
predictable techniques for direct
placement, how to establish optimal
posterior contacts with correct contours and how to finish and polish
composite resin to a lustre finish.

 Presenter: Dr Johnathan Wee, endodontist
from Singapore
 Date and time: 8 October, 14:00–17:00
Dentists often find that the canal anatomy is not
completely obvious, even with standard radiographs,
and the diagnosis can be confusing when clinical and
radiographic evidence do not correspond. The use
of CBCT in endodontics has been considerably less
widespread than in prosthodontics and surgical planning. CBCT is capable of being a serious force multiplier in endodontic diagnosis, planning, treatment
and evaluation. Dr Wee will present the prevailing
evidence and tips on how to employ CBCT equipment
and capabilities to make endodontic outcomes even
more predictable for dentists in this workshop.

interview

In-person IDEM 2022 to provide forum for robust exchange of ideas
© Koelnmesse Singapore

An interview with Matthias Kuepper, managing director of Koelnmesse in Singapore. By Iveta Ramonaite, Dental Tribune International

“We are beyond excited to host IDEM 2022
in person after four years.”

Mathias Kuepper is happy to welcome attendees to the in-person IDEM 2022, which will take place from 7 to 9 October at a new venue.

 Mathias Kuepper is the managing
director of Koelnmesse and has been
helping to organise IDEM 2022, which
is Asia Pacific’s leading dental show,
for nearly a decade. Owing to the
SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the last edition
of the biennial event took place online.
However, this year, IDEM is back to
its beloved in-person format, although
it will continue to offer some digital
elements throughout the event. In
this interview with Dental Tribune
International, Kuepper talks about
event highlights and the selection of a
new location and discusses the tremendous value that IDEM has for the
dental industry.

What is the message behind the
title?
With this year’s theme, we hope to
provide a forum for a robust exchange
of ideas as we navigate new challenges and explore the latest market
trends. Our aim is to maintain competency, update and upgrade our knowledge and skills, and ensure relevance
in our attendees’ clinical practice.

Mr Kuepper, IDEM 2022 will be held
at a new venue, Sands Expo and Convention Centre at Marina Bay Sands
in Singapore. Why did you choose
this specific location?
Based on our experience from the
past in-person editions of IDEM, which
were held across multiple floors, we
found that consolidating the exhibition and activities on one floor is more
convenient and accessible for our
exhibitors and attendees. The move of
IDEM 2022 to a larger exhibition hall
at Sands Expo and Convention Centre
also serves to mark a significant
milestone for us as we welcome more
sponsors, exhibitors and speakers
and expect more local and regional
attendees after the past four years of
hiatus caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

We are committed to maintaining
high standards and providing our
participants with the best experience
for their professional development in
order to meet the changing requirements and challenges of today’s dynamic environment.

The theme for this year’s event is
“Building resilience in dentistry”.

connect face-to-face with speakers,
partners, prospects and peers in order
to learn about the latest developments
in dentistry. In the meantime, it has
given us more time to rethink formats

Although held in a physical format,
IDEM 2022 will also feature some
hybrid elements. Why do you think
this is necessary?
IDEM360+ is a digital community
platform that adds another layer of
experience to IDEM. The platform
allows participants to do business
matching, find networking opportunities using the on-site lead generation
feature, book meeting slots, watch
on-demand content after the actual
event day and more. IDEM360+ digital platform and app will also be
available after the event, and the
trade exhibition will continue running
virtually as part of the IDEM360+
Community. Attendees can continue
to access useful information for their
practices, and exhibitors can continue to engage and follow up with
visitors beyond the event days.

opportunities and business growth to
all participants. We are excited to be
introducing a new programme, the
Singapore Speaker Series, to showcase
our local speakers. There is also a new
initiative that aims at nurturing young
companies from the dental industry,
called the Innovation Arena, which
will permit entrepreneurs to grow
their network and explore different
business opportunities with IDEM.
This year, there is an increase in new
exhibiting companies participating for
the first time in IDEM, and we look forward to the dynamic and fresh ideas
that these companies will add to the
already robust exhibition.

What is unique about IDEM, and
what should the attendees most look
forward to this year?
As the leading dental exhibition
and conference in the Asia Pacific
region, IDEM gathers dental brands
and experts from all around the world
at one venue and offers networking

our first step towards this goal, the
IDEM360+ digital platform and app
will be used as an all-in-one tool for
networking, scheduling and navigating
the event, replacing the need for bulkprinted materials like exhibition and
conference guides, venue maps and
even name cards. 

Would you like to add anything else?
We are hoping to move towards
being a more sustainable event, starting with this edition of IDEM. Taking

In this new edition, participants
to IDEM 2022 can expect digital elements throughout the event. This will
allow the participants to extend their
learning beyond the event days and
offer ample networking opportunities.

Owing to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the on-site IDEM 2020 was
cancelled and the event was held
online for the first time in its history.
How do you feel about coming out
of the pandemic and returning to
the traditional in-person format this
year?
We are beyond excited to host
IDEM 2022 in person after four years.
Although we hosted IDEM digitally
during the pandemic, we have heard
from sponsors, exhibitors and attendees that IDEM in a physical format
is an experience like no other. They
find it more effective and efficient to

and to create more opportunities
for businesses and attendees. Thus,
we will be launching the IDEM360+
Community platform in the hope of
building a one-stop digital platform
for the Asia Pacific dental community
to connect and exchange ideas from
any location.

Asian MICE business outperforms Europe
An opinion piece by Dr Björn Kempe, Singapore
shows great resilience to deglobalisation pressures.

The ASEAN market promises excellent business opportunities. There
are free trade agreements in place, and
ASEAN is destined to become one of the
world’s powerhouses. It has over 500 million citizens and a strong rising middle
class, which will have a positive impact
on dental business in the region. The
Philippines, Thailand and Singapore are
already offering first-class dental technologies and services to their citizens,
and travellers worldwide also enjoy
these destinations for medical treatments.
I believe that Indonesia and Vietnam will
be two major players and that the dental
market will grow massively in these
countries in the coming ten years.

 Welcome to IDEM Singapore 2022!
Here, you will find that trade shows
perform much better in Asia than
in Europe. Although the International
Dental Show (IDS) re-opened its doors
in 2021 in Cologne in Germany, the
show was only able to attract 40% of
its original participants. IDEM 2022 in
Singapore is one of the best and largest
dental shows in the whole of Asia at a
capacity attendance of almost 100%.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in
2020/21, many trade shows were not
able to take place and only reopened
at the end of 2021 or 2022. The global
trade show calendar got a bit mixed up.
Organisers tried to compensate for their
losses by offering hybrid and virtual
events. However, it is apparent that
in-person events are the preferred choice
and what exhibitors and visitors are
really looking for.
In general, the European exhibition
market opened up more slowly than the
Asian one. Many shows in Europe are
only welcoming back around 50%–60%
of their original participants, whereas
in Asia, the reopening traded at 80%–90%
of the 2019 numbers for many organisers. In my opinion, one of the reasons
for the strong demand in Asia is that
Asia is a strong regional market and depends little on Europe or the US. In addition, the current logistical issues, inflationary pressures and geopolitical issues,
including the current Russia–Ukraine
war, are not pertinent to Asia and have
a heavy impact only on Europe.
Although most of the skies are
open and business travellers can already travel freely without COVID-19
testing requirements, in most Asian
countries, the exchange between Europe
and Asia remains limited. The increase
in exhibitors and visitors comes from
local or regional markets. At IDEM,
you will witness a strong turnout of
Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN) dental industry leaders and
perhaps fewer European ones, since
ASEAN has high economic power and

I expect that the global trade show
market will return to normal by 2024/25.
European and German trade shows will
take longer to recover. IDS will take
place in 2023, but China has still not
announced the reopening of its market.
Japan has recently opened for business
but not yet for tourist travel. We need
to wait and see how the pandemic will
develop in the coming third winter.
One thing is certain: exhibitions have
proved to be the right platform for
industry leaders to come together.
In-person events are even more important now than in 2019, and I am sure
that many marketing departments will
slowly realise that money spent on
trade shows is perhaps more valuable
than money spent on social media or
other channels.
We are very excited about the next
decade and strongly believe that Asia,
the US and the Middle East could be
the three most important trade show
markets in the future. Europe is on
the verge of losing its competitive advantage to other regions. It all depends
on how Europe masters the crisis.
However, I believe that the time of global
mega-shows is over. It is now time for
regional heavyweight shows like IDEM.
You are at the right place! 

Dental imaging market: Product innovation to stimulate demand
A report by Dr Kamran Zamanian and Ali Shakerdargah, Canada
opportunity for manufacturers to
enter the market. The market is predicted to grow alongside the ageing
population and the increase in number and significance of dental imaging product innovations.
Overall, the global dental imaging market was valued at less than
US$2.5 billion (€2.2 billion) in 2021,
and the European market was valued
at slightly above US$500 million.
The global market is expected to
grow moderately, and the European
market is expected to experience a
slight decline. 

market trails behind that of North America. (Images: © iData Research)

 Dental imaging is a crucial part of
oral care, and the volume of imaging
procedures is predicted to increase
as the global population ages and
experiences more dental problems.
According to the latest market insights from iData, harmful consumer
behaviours and artificial intelligence
(AI) are also expected to have an influence on the growth of the dental
imaging market.

One of the main trends in the
dental imaging market is a shift
towards AI and data insights to improve patient care. AI-driven technology can provide a personalised
dental solution that fully adjusts to
the specific clinical needs of each
individual patient.
Research and development in
AI technology has taken place mostly
in dental radiography, and this new

Increased prevalence of harmful
consumer behaviours, such as regular increases in sugar and fatty food
consumption and inactivity, may
result in dental caries. As a result, the
overall volume of cosmetic procedures
to restore normal oral and dental
health is expected to rise.
Traditionally, 2D dental imaging
machines have been used as the
main tool for capturing an image
of the mouth prior to procedures;
however, 2D machines have a huge
limitation in depicting the shape
and form of mouth, as looking at a
3D object in 2D is not very accurate.

The global dental imaging market saw less than two million procedures performed in 2021, and the
European market accounted for less
than 400,000 of them. The total
volume of procedures is increasing
every year, and most of that growth

ket, followed by the intra-oral radiographic imaging market. Most companies direct their funds towards
research and development in the
CBCT market owing to its leading
position.

About the authors
The use of CBCT in the dental
industry is expected to increase as a
result of the rise in need for cosmetic
surgeries.

An ageing population
requires more dental imaging
Dental problems can occur at
any time in life, but the probability
of their occurrence has a strong positive association with advanced age.
In other words, as you get older, you
are more likely to have dental and
oral problems. Age-related dental
problems include, but are not limited
to, periodontitis and root and coronal
caries.
Globally, there has been a shift in
population dynamics. For example,
across Europe, a significant proportion of the population is now geriatric.
People in this age category require
more extensive dental care, for example for the provision of implants and
overdentures or for the treatment
of age-related conditions. As the
number of people in this age bracket
needing these procedures increases,
dental professionals will require
more advanced dental radiographic
devices.

COVID-19’s impact on
the dental imaging market
The global and European dental
imaging markets experienced a
steep decline in 2020; however, the
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
on the dental imaging market are
expected to vary by market segment. During the pandemic, nonessential visits to dental clinics were
not possible, and this limited the
ability of manufacturers to sell their
products.
is in the CBCT segment. As a result
of the COVID-19 pandemic and the
shutdown of dental offices, the total
global market experienced a sharp
decline in 2020 but had almost fully
recovered by the end of 2021. Global
market growth has been relatively
steady in recent years as a result of
product innovation and the ageing
population.

Innovation driving growth
in dental imaging market
The CBCT market is the largest
segment in the dental imaging mar-

technology is establishing its role as
a smart assistant that brings dentists
a number of benefits. These include,
but are not limited to, being able to
quickly and easily identify problems,
having automated and more precise
diagnostics for dental radiographs
and receiving suggested treatment
plans.
The use of AI technology in
dental imaging is expected to grow
rapidly and become one of the
main drivers of the dental imaging
market.

Therefore, the complication rate of
dental procedures was higher before
the availability of 3D dental imaging
tools.
The birth of CBCT scanners was
a revolution in the dental industry,
as it enabled dentists to capture
3D images and see the mouth from
any angle. CBCT helps dentists to
visualise the structures without the
need of superimposition, and this advancement helps dentists to identify
a patient’s issues more clearly and to
adopt a better treatment.

Crucially, the COVID-19 pandemic
reduced the number of dental procedures in 2020, and this reduction was directly tied to respective
countries’ hospital and clinical
prioritisations. Urgent procedures
were performed, but patient safety
necessitated meticulous preparation.

interview

“Everyone has the power to become an innovator”
An interview with Dr Sumita Mitra. By Franziska Beier, Dental Tribune International

r Sumita Mitra has dedicated more than 30 years to the development of dental materials.
D
(All images: © European Patent Office)

n Dr Sumita Mitra is a chemist and
awarded dental materials inventor.
During her career at 3M, she developed a unique nanomaterial-based
dental filler, for which she received
the European Inventor Award 2021.
This material and numerous other
inventions of hers in the field of dental materials have been patented.
Dental Tribune International spoke
with Dr Mitra about how a bunch of
grapes inspired her research efforts,
about the greatest advantages of her
developed material and about how
she gives back to the next generation
of inventors.
Why did you decide to go into chemistry
and how did you become concerned
with dental materials?
From a very early age I was fas
cinated by different materials. I often
wondered what makes one material
different from another—things like
why paper is different from wood, or
why fabric is different from our skin.
I learnt that the answer is in the
molecules—it is chemistry that is the
central science that defines materials.
I was so awestruck by the subject that
I made up my mind to study chemistry
in depth. I would often visit my father
in his laboratory and peer over his
shoulders as he did his chemistry experiments. After I joined the 3M company,
I got an opportunity to join its Dental
Products Laboratory to develop new
polymer matrices for dental composites.
I jumped at that prospect and spent
most of my career there, developing
many new materials technologies,
including the development of nanotechnology for use in dentistry.
You have developed a nanocomposite
restorative material (Filtek Supreme,
3M), that has already been used for
more than 1 billion tooth restorations.
How did you come up with the idea
of using nanotechnology?
Until the late 1990s dentists
wanting to perform natural-looking
tooth repairs relied on a combination
of two separate materials. Microfills
were aesthetically pleasing but too
weak to be used for stress-bearing
regions of the incisal edges and for
selling teeth in the posterior region
of the mouth. Less attractive hybrid
and microhybrid composites were

stronger, but lost their shine and
became rough from brushing and
chewing. This was both inconvenient
and expensive for dentists and their
patients. So, we wanted to create one
material that would not only be
strong and durable but also have the
long-lasting lustrous beauty of natural
teeth.
I realised that the key problem
was that the existing filler technology
used to reinforce dental composites
had limitations. Around that time,
nanotechnology was an emerging science. I hypothesised that developing
nano-particle technology for use as
dental fillers could allay most of the
problems and afford us a universal
filling material. This is because nano
particles are much smaller in size than
the wavelength of light and thus could

provide unique aesthetic properties.
In addition, nanoparticles had the
potential of providing mechanically
strong materials. With this idea, and
with the help of a team of 3M scientists,
I set about the task of developing
suitable nanofillers and incorporating
them into a resin matrix to generate
nanocomposites with superior characteristics. Our initial approach was to
make tiny nanoparticles of several
sizes, but this approach was disappointing since it did not provide all
the desirable characteristics, especially
the required rheology or handling
properties needed by dentists. I realised that this was because we needed
nanoparticles of a wide size distribution to get packing efficiency in the
composite. It sounds simple but was
not easy to achieve with the initial
nanoparticles.
The decisive idea for the material
was inspired by a particular fruit.
Could you tell us more about this?
The breakthrough moment came
as I was looking at a cluster of grapes
in a bowl. If one observes a bunch of
grapes, there are grapes of different
sizes, some small and some large, with
the small ones fitting in between the
gaps created by the large ones, leading
to optimum use of space. Also, the
sizes of the bunches can vary greatly—
there can be clusters of five, 20 or
100 grapes, and so on. If one or two
individual grapes are plucked out,
the overall cluster doesn’t change that
much. My theory was that we could
first assemble the nanoparticles into
nanoclusters of wide size distribution
and then combine them with individual
nanomeric particles to fill any voids to
provide a synergistic mix that could

Dr Mitra at the 3M Innovation Center in Minneapolis in Minnesota in the US.

Would you please explain how the

some of its greatest advantages for
dentists and their patients are?
The 3M Filtek Supreme product
is an uncured composite paste, which
comes in a number of shades that
make it possible to exactly match the
patients’ dentition. After using a dental adhesive, the dentist places the
composite and shapes it according to
the required anatomy, finally curing it
in place by a short exposure to blue
light. The greatest advantage is that
the material is very versatile and can
be used in all areas of the mouth—
anterior, posterior, and on incisal or
molar surfaces. It is highly aesthetic
and has the shine and opalescence of
a natural tooth. It is extremely durable

Artificial intelligence may automate design of biomimetic single-tooth protheses
New experimental study from Hong Kong explores AI in dentistry
 Even with the support of modern
CAD/CAM technology, creating a
dental prosthesis is still rather timeconsuming, resulting in more chair
time and high costs for patients. To
facilitate the design of molar crowns,
researchers from the Faculty of Dentistry
at the University of Hong Kong (HKU)
and the Department of Computer
Science of Chu Hai College of Higher
Education in Hong Kong collaborated
to develop a novel approach using
artificial intelligence (AI).
When asked what inspired the research, lead author Dr Walter Yu Hang
Lam, clinical assistant professor in prosthodontics at the Division of Restorative
Dental Sciences at HKU, told Dental
Tribune International: “Some patients
sense a very subtle hair-thin high spot
on their dental prosthesis. Therefore, in
the dental curriculum, a significant proportion of time is dedicated to occlusion
theory and clinical training to provide
a dental prosthesis that fits the patient’s
mouth. My colleagues and I hoped to
figure out a solution for improved treatment efficiency and patient experience.”

In order to restore the patient’s
original appearance, masticatory function and general oral health, dental
protheses should have the same occlusal morphology and 3D position of the
natural teeth. These can be deduced for
a missing tooth from those of the surrounding dentition because the teeth
of an individual are all controlled by
the same set of genes and exposed to the
same oral environment. The researchers hypothesised that AI could thus
generate the design for a single-tooth
prothesis based on the characteristics
of the remaining dentition.
The research team used a machine
learning approach called a generative
adversarial network (GAN) to train and
validate their AI system and have tested
it on 175 participants. The system was
able to reconstruct the shape of a natural
tooth and automate the process of dental protheses design based only on the
digital model of the patient’s dentition.
“The 3D GAN algorithm was selected due to its superior performance
on 3D object reconstruction compared

for both of them. Dentists will spend less
time on registering jaw relationships and
chairside adjustment, greatly facilitating
the entire treatment process and enabling them to take on more cases.”
He continued: “Patients will spend
less time and money on the treatment.
In addition, the dental prostheses they
receive will fit better to their remaining
dentition and are thus less likely to
cause jaw problems.”

Hong Kong researchers have demonstrated that their AI system could generate the design of a
molar (red) based on the features of the remaining dentition (dark grey). (Image: © HKU)

with other AI algorithms. In the preliminary study, 3D GAN was able to
rebuild similar shapes to the original
teeth for 60% of the cases. It is expected
to mature with more AI training data,”
commented co-author Dr Reinhard
Chun Wang Chau, research assistant
in the Division of Restorative Dental
Sciences and of Applied Oral Sciences

and Community Dental Care at HKU, in
a press release. For future research, the
team proposes to investigate whether
the presence of opposing teeth will help
the AI to generate a more natural tooth.
Asked about the advantages of this
method for dental professionals and patients, Dr Lam said: “It’s less time-consuming

According to Dr Lam, the research
group hopes to make the AI technology
available for dental professionals within
the next five years, after having tested
its accuracy further in simulated and
clinical scenarios. Moreover, the researchers believe that the method may
be applied to the fabrication of crowns
for other teeth and of multi-unit restorations in the future.
The study, titled “Artificial intelligencedesigned single molar dental prostheses:
A protocol of prospective experimental
study”, was published online on 2 June
2022 in PLOS ONE. 

3D printing more accurate than milling
Japanese study indicates 3D-printed dental crowns are of higher quality than milled crowns
© Marina Grigorivna/Shutterstock.com

 Using the exact same dataset and
an industrial 3D digitiser to identify
deviations, researchers at Tohoku
University Graduate School of Dentistry
in Japan found that producing a
crown by digital light processing (DLP)
3D printing results in a better-quality
product than can be achieved through
milling.
CAD/CAM-produced milled crowns
have proved a popular alternative
to traditional metallic restorations in
recent years, thanks to the better
wear and aesthetic qualities of resincomposites. However, the new study
indicates that advances in DLP printing can offer dentists a far better product in terms of less wastage and higher
accuracy than has previously been
available.

Compared with the milled crowns
created during the study, the DLP-printed
crowns were consistently more accurate
and had fewer marginal discrepancies.
The researchers noted that, particularly
at the crown cusps, the milled crowns
had a higher rate of dimensional deviations and that, when offset correction
was attempted on the internal surfaces
of the milled products that had negative
deviations, grooves would result.
DLP-based 3D printing achieved a
higher level of dimensional fitting accuracy and high trueness, regardless of
the abutment shape. When it comes to
milling, the trueness is very dependent
upon the material properties, and those
which are more brittle, such as ceramics and polymer-infiltrated ceramics,
are prone to chipping during processing,

meaning that too much milling can
result in a lower-quality piece.
DLP also provides a broader possible range of fitting accuracy than can
be provided by milling.
The researchers noted that future
studies could evaluate the fracture
resistance and biocompatibility of
3D-printed crowns as permanent prostheses and that additional research utilising different printing parameters and
fabrication systems would be useful.
The study, titled “Comparison of the
accuracy of resin-composite crowns fabricated by three-dimensional printing and
milling methods”, was published online
on 6 July 2022 in Dental Materials Journal,
ahead of inclusion in an issue. 

China caps cost of dental implant treatment
Health authorities in China want to make dental implant therapy cheaper
© aslysun/Shutterstock.com

 The National Healthcare Security
Administration (NHSA) has taken
steps to lower the cost of dental implant treatment at public hospitals
in China, including placing a price
cap on medical service fees per tooth.
The administration hopes that lowering the cost of implant treatment will
further improve China’s quality of
living standards, particularly as its
population ages.
The NHSA will cap the medical
service fee per dental implant placed
at public hospitals at CNY 4,500
(US$631), making it significantly
lower than the fees of CNY 6,000
to CNY 9,000 that are currently
charged. Centralised bulk procurement of dental implant consumables
at a provincial level is also planned,
which one expert said could result in
a 25% reduction in price.
According to the English-language
newspaper China Daily, the NHSA
holds that excessive treatment fees
have long hampered the field of dental implantology. The NHSA drafted
regulatory measures aimed at reining in fees for implant treatment and
sought feedback from the public in
August. China Daily reported that
around 90% of the 230 submissions
received supported the measures and
that the remaining 10% expressed
concerns.
Public submissions that were
shared with China Daily included
statements such as “We don’t want

dental implant surgery in China is
estimated to be less than 10,000.
The manager of a private hospital
in Beijing opposed the lowering of
service fees and stated: “It is the cost
of consulting a professional dentist
that makes up the bulk of the price—
roughly 40–50%.” The manager stressed
that the skill of the surgeon was very
important.
Announcing the price cap in a
later article in China Daily, the NHSA
said that it would first be enforced
at public hospitals and that requests
for a higher maximum price would
be permitted in those parts of China
that have higher labour costs. Regional healthcare authorities would
help to expose institutions that insist
on “overpriced products” and that
do not participate in bulk procurement programmes, the newspaper
reported.

dental clinics” and “We are looking
forward to the campaign because
stomatology departments charge very
high fees”.
The newspaper highlighted the
plight of one 82-year-old patient who
had had four dental implants placed
at private hospitals in the past two
years. The patient said that the implant portfolio that she was offered
featured consumables from the US,
the UK and Germany and that

the cost of the implants ranged
from a few thousand yuan to over
CNY 30,000 (US$4,208). The patient
settled for value implants made in
South Korea which incurred a total
treatment cost of around CNY 5,500
per tooth. The patient commented:
“I would certainly pick more expensive ones if I were younger. But as I’m
over 80, I think these cheaper ones
will suffice.”

in favour of the proposed changes
pointed to the risk and complexity
of the surgical work performed by
implantologists. One submission said
that the sector should not be stigmatised and added: “The impression
that the service is overpriced primarily stems from a lack of qualified
dentists. More effort should be devoted to training before considering
a move to cut prices.”

According to financial news publisher Yicai Global, standardised
pricing would also be introduced for
dental crown treatments and bone
grafting surgeries. It added that implementing the bulk procurement
of dental implants would be challenging owing to the fact that most
dental implant clinics are privately
run. Citing figures from China
Insights Consultancy, Yicai Global
said that around 21 dental implants
are placed per 10,000 inhabitants in
China, compared with 630 in South

Researchers conduct successful trial of needle-free dental anaesthesia
New device developed and trialled by researchers in New Zealand
seven days, healing and gingival tissue
response at the extraction sites was
evaluated and deemed to be uneventful regardless of the technique
used.

 Dental anxiety continues to be a
significant impediment to patients
receiving dental care, and minimally
invasive approaches have grown in
popularity. A new collaboration between researchers from the University of Otago, University of Auckland
and the Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand has resulted
in the trial of a device that delivers
dental anaesthesia without the use of
a needle, and the results have been
promising.
The proof-of-principle study included eight participants who each
required bilateral maxillary tooth
extractions as part of their treatment
plan. Their respective levels of anxiety
and discomfort were recorded before
receiving anaesthesia via the needle-free device and through the traditional approach. According to study
co-author Prof. Andrew Taberner of
the Auckland Bioengineering Institute at the University of Auckland,
the device, which is driven by a silent
motor, is unique in that it has been
designed specifically for use in dentistry and not adapted from any other
medical purpose.
“All other dental jet injectors use
springs or compressed gas to power

Prof. Paul Brunton, lead author
of the study and pro-vice-chancellor
of the Division of Health Sciences at
University of Otago, highlighted that
dental anxiety remains a significant
barrier for accessing dental care and
that a common cause of fear is “the
sight of a needle during local anaesthetic delivery”.
“Even though this was just a
proof of concept trial, this device
certainly could reduce or eliminate
anxiety due to needle phobia,” he
added.

the drug is delivered,” Prof. Taberner
commented in a press release. “Moreover, this study was the first time
I have seen anyone jet-inject through
a slender wand that is a bit like a

three-in-one tool, and can easily be
introduced into the back of the
mouth.”
After the extractions had been
conducted, all patients expressed
their preference for the needle-free

anaesthesia delivery, and six of the
eight participants stated that their
extractions with this device had
been free of pain. The remaining
two participants required additional
anaesthesia delivered through traditional methods. Over the following

DIGITAL SOLUTIONS FROM AMANN GIRRBACH LEAD THE WAY INTO THE DENTAL PRACTICE
 With its Ceramill Direct Restoration
Solution (DRS), Amann Girrbach has
extended its integrated digital workflow to the dentist and thus closed
the communication gap that existed
between the dental practice and
the laboratory. The new digital
workflow from Amann Girrbach has
been designed to enable interdisciplinary future-oriented collaboration
and streamlined production processes that enable same-day dentistry.
In this process, both partners
contribute their core competencies
in order to provide patients with
definitive and functional prostheses
in a more timely and less complicated
way. The delivery of smaller units is
possible on the same day, depending
on the local distance between the
two partners.
Depending on the type of collaboration that is desired, three team
workflows are available in combination with the corresponding Ceramill
DRS Kits. In each case, the central
basis of these workflows is AG.Live,
a new digital platform that provides
the infrastructure and patient case
management procedures to support
a level of consistency and efficiency
that was previously unattainable.
As such, AG.Live takes communication and collaboration between the
practice and the laboratory to an
entirely new level.

necessary is the physical delivery of
the restoration to the dental practice,
and this is possible on the same day
in cases of simple restorations. Such
timely delivery can lead to a better
dental experience for the patient
and could ultimately attract new patients to the practice and generate
more orders for the laboratory.
If the preferred material is zirconia, the High-Speed Zirconia Kit, consisting of Zolid DRS zirconia and a
corresponding Ceramill Therm DRS
sintering furnace, can optimally support the laboratory in fabricating
straightforward zirconia restorations
on the same day.

Virtual platform AG.Live creates
freedom, more efficient processes
and greater customer proximity
With AG.Live, Amann Girrbach
has started the largest digitisation
offensive in the company’s history.
This web-based portal for collaboration
between laboratories and dentists
offers comprehensive digital services
at all levels. For example, AG.Live is a
central tool for digital case management, networking, infrastructure, material management and support services. It is also a knowledge database
that will gradually replace the company’s previous C3 customer portal.

On the one hand, the platform
networks machines and materials in
the laboratory, thereby simplifying
processes and increasing quality and
reproducibility. On the other hand, the
greatest advancement is that AG.Live
connects the growing global network
of dental professionals who are operating digitally. This bridges the interdisciplinary gap between dentists
and dental technicians and facilitates
future-oriented cooperation. Furthermore, within this network of optimised
and new partnerships, participants
can focus on their strengths and better
position themselves on the market.

Extending the digital Ceramill CAD/
CAM workflow to the dentist
The Ceramill DRS Connection Kit
is the basic entry-level option, with
which dentists and laboratories can
already take full advantage of digitisation. It consists of a Ceramill Map
DRS intra-oral scanner, the associated scan software and the connection to AG.Live. Any order data, including all the required information,
can therefore be shared with the
laboratory seamlessly and in real
time via AG.Live. This eliminates the
need for handwritten job sheets and
conventional impressions. All that is

In an additional step—which can
provide patients with their prostheses even faster—the system in the
dental practice can be upgraded at
any time with the Ceramill DRS
Production Kit. This allows simple
restorations to be fabricated in the
practice and placed in the patient’s
mouth in a single session.
DRS users benefit from a comprehensive range of trainings and
services. For further information,

BISCO’S TRIED AND TRUE CALCIUM-RELEASING FAMILY
BISCO packages TheraBase in
a dual-barrel syringe that includes
Auto-Mix Cannula Tips, enabling
an accurate and always steady
material supply as well as simple,
accurate delivery with very little
waste.

TheraBase.

 Remember the adage “A penny
saved is a penny earned”? How
about “Little strokes fell great oaks”?
It is time to add another adage to the
list: “If it works, keep using it”.
Whereas this saying has countless
uses in everyday life, it is particularly applicable to work in the dental
community. Here, when something
is efficient and reliable, we turn to it
time and time again. That is why dentists across the country continue to
rely on the BISCO line of therapeutic,
calcium-releasing materials for their
restorative needs.
The newest addition to this family of products, launched last year,
is TheraBase—a dual-cure, calciumand fluoride-releasing, self-adhesive
base/liner designed to be stronger
and more durable than other base
materials.
Here is how it works: when water is introduced, the non-dissolving
matrix releases calcium hydroxide
and fluoride ions. Then, within minutes, the ongoing ion exchange that
results raises pH levels,* and the
ensuing alkalinity promotes pulp
vitality.1 TheraBase is dual-curing,
which means that, even though it
can be light cured, the material can
fully polymerise chemically through-

out, and this includes the area in
deep restorations where light cannot
reach. The calcium-releasing base and
liner features BISCO’s proprietary
hydrophilic matrix, which aids in
protecting tooth structure. In addition, the material is self-adhesive and
does not require bonding agents, thus
saving time and costs.

Dr Leo Huck, the owner of Huck
Dental in Wauwatosa in Wisconsin,
commented that he thoroughly enjoys the product and said, “Having
used it for many restorations now,
I have found it just works wonderfully.”

A much touted benefit is that
TheraBase is highly radiopaque,
paving the way for improved radiographic identification and more accurate dental diagnoses. The product
also has high flexural strength, absorbing stress and shock from occlusal forces.

TheraBase joins three other
Thera products, which all use the
THERA technology in their
formulas. TheraCal PT, for
example, is a biocompatible,
dual-cured, resin-modified
calcium silicate that is used
for pulpotomy treatment.

Meet the rest of the family

Well suited for pulpitis risk
“I’ve been using TheraBase
when I am very near to the pulp and
where there’s a risk of pulpitis,”
Dr Aliisha Choucair, a dentist at
Laurel Dental in Leander in Texas,
explained. “It’s very easy to place
and has good retention. I was able to
restore a case that had reversible
pulpitis—the tooth remained vital,
the nerve settled down, and the restoration appears to be well sealed,”
she continued. “I like the science
behind it—releasing calcium and
fluoride—and it has good handling
properties.”

Dr David Martin, a dentist in
Totowa in New Jersey, said that
TheraCal PT is particularly useful in
cases where patients cannot tolerate
long chair times. The material has a
working time of 45 seconds and a
setting time of 5 minutes. “I recently
had a young child with a large carious exposure,” he explained. “I was

able to treat the lesion in a much
quicker time frame, resulting in a
more pleasant appointment for the
child as well as an excellent final
restoration.”
TheraCal LC.

Moisture-tolerant
and requiring fewer
steps compared with
other similar materials, TheraCal PT resists
breakdown and provides a
durable seal. It is also radiopaque and allows for immediate placement of the restorative material. “Being able to
place in the presence of some
moisture makes it close to an ideal
material for pulpotomies,” Dr Martin
added.
Released in 2017, TheraCem is
a dual-cured, calcium- and fluoridereleasing, self-adhesive resin cement
that contains MDP, an adhesionpromoting monomer that enhances
bond strength to zirconia, metal and
tooth structure without the need for
additional adhesive or primer.

BISCO’s unique line of Thera
products traces its lineage back to
2011, when the first member of the
Thera family, TheraCal LC, was
launched. This light-cured product
is a resin-modified, calcium silicatefilled liner. TheraCal LC insulates the
pulp by forming a protective barrier
against thermal changes.2, 3 Its significant calcium release** also leads
to a protective seal.2, 4, 5
For BISCO, building on the success of each product means its
40-year journey will continue to
evolve as dental practices throughout the world make the Thera family
of products their go-to solution for all
their restorative needs. 

THIS NOVEL MOUTHWASH PROTECTS YOUR PATIENTS IN THREE WAYS
Stronger effect
but fewer
side effects
Two key components of Perio plus
regenerate are chlorhexidine and Citrox.
Chlorhexidine digluconate (0.09%) has
been the gold standard of oral antiseptics for decades.
Citrox is a novel
organic antibacterial
made from bioflavonoids and is sourced
from bitter oranges.
It is effective against
bacteria, viruses and
fungi.

 Curaprox’s Perio plus regenerate
belongs to a new generation of
chlorhexidine-based mouthwashes
that employ a unique blend of additives. It supports tissue regeneration,
but also prevents bacterial infection.
The mouthwash is ideal for use
after surgery and relieves treatmentrelated dry mouth. Here are three
ways Perio plus regenerate protects
your patients’ health.

Studies have
shown that the combination of Citrox and
chlorhexidine is more effective than
using chlorhexidine alone. Citrox in
Perio plus regenerate is combined
with polylysine amino acids to
create the Citrox/P formula, which
offers a long-lasting antibacterial
effect. Thanks to this unique blend
of ingredients, it is possible to reduce the amount of chlorhexidine
used and consequently its side
effects.

An extra layer of protection
Hyaluronic acid is an important
part of the Perio plus regenerate
formula. Thanks to its water-binding
properties, it humidifies the oral
mucosa, supporting the regrowth of
cells. It also protects the regenerating mucosa by creating a protective
biopolymer film over it. This acts
against dry mouth, reduces the risk
of infection by viruses and bacteria,
and supports the formation of new
mucosal cells.

Streptococcus mutans cannot metabolise xylitol, resulting in the bacteria
dying off. 

Using Perio plus regenerate
The patient should rinse with
10 ml of Perio plus regenerate undiluted for 60 seconds,
morning and night, for up to one
month.
Patients must be warned that
Perio plus regenerate is for oral
application only and must not be
swallowed.

BOREA SHOWCASES NEW RAYPLICKER VISION SOFTWARE AND BOREA CONNECT PLATFORM
ticity, hue and translucency. This tool
is complementary to the spectrophotometer and allows for centralised
access to a patient’s aesthetic data,
such as STL files, Rayplicker shade,
and patient images. This software was
developed to facilitate and standardise the digital workflow of practitioners and laboratories.

n The French company Borea
is presenting its software suite
Rayplicker Vision and the Borea
Connect platform at IDEM 2022.
Both innovations introduce several
new features that promise to redefine shade communication, according to the company.
Faced with the digital revolution in the dental field and, in particular, digital integration between
dental offices and laboratories,
Borea is continuing its international
development and aims to become a
leader in the digital colour recording field.

Once the patient’s folder is completed and recorded, the production
order is placed and sent through the
Borea Connect platform. The laboratory, also registered to the platform,
instantly receives all necessary information in order to realise a prosthesis faithful to the order. All this can
be done from any computing device.

Borea designs, manufactures
and develops the Rayplicker solution from A to Z at its premises in
France. This includes not only the
spectrophotometer and the software
but also the communication platform and the mobile application.
Amid the health crisis and the
travelling restrictions induced by
the COVID-19 pandemic that allowed
very few opportunities to meet its
customers and partners, Borea has
taken the opportunity to exhibit at
IDEM in order to renew its links with
the dental profession. This occasion
will be marked by the release of new
products that will completely change
the way shade information is communicated in order to fit even better
into a 100% digital workflow.

VITA Bleached Shades, Ivoclar Vivadent’s
Chromascop, Shofu Vintage and
Noritake. Moreover, the device has

a patented optical measuring head
that can eliminate all influences from
the external environment, and its
ergonomics make it possible to scan
up to the premolars.
The data collected with Rayplicker
Handy is sent directly to Rayplicker
Vision, open software for analysing

and archiving the acquisitions obtained with the spectrophotometer.
This software can be installed both in
the dental office and in the laboratory.
It allows for simplified data management by patient or practitioner and
deep analysis of the most relevant
data for the production of dental prostheses, including brightness, chroma-

Borea’s main objective is to facilitate and fluidify the transmission of
aesthetic data between the practice
and the laboratory in the same way
that intra-oral scanners are doing for
dimensional data. All this is with the
aim of improving communication between the dentist and the dental
technician so that their work is simplified and has a constant focus on
quality and traceability. 7

Borea’s flagship product Rayplicker
is a solution consisting of a digital
shade scanner, dedicated software,
a communication platform, and a
mobile application for processing
and transferring data from the dentist’s office to the dental laboratory.
In a single acquisition, Rayplicker

to a large extent on the compliance
of the minimal wall thickness of the
restoration. With a choice of eight
MADC depth markers, it is possible to
define the prepared margin at different depths, from 0.3 mm to 2.0 mm.

Z-Cut grinders.

Z-Cut grinder for
high-performance ceramics
The design of Z-Cut instruments is
tailored to the extreme hardness of
new ceramics such as zirconia, lithium
disilicate and aluminium oxide. The
selected diamond grit and the particularly hard nickel bonder provide longer service lives and a higher grinding
capacity than traditional instruments.
Z-Cut grinders also facilitate the shaping of ceramic abutments and are
ideal for sectioning zirconia crowns.
CeraGlaze award-winning polisher
CeraGlaze polishers produce an
unrivalled smooth surface on all

ceramic materials and do not require a second glaze firing after the
adjustment. The rubber binder absorbs heat from the surface during
polishing, preventing the ceramic
from overheating. The selected natural diamond grit provides a high
polishing performance in three
steps.
NTI CeraGlaze is also ideal for
use with zirconia. 

consists of a stir-fried mud crab coated
with a semi-thick, sweet and savoury
tomato-and-chilli-based sauce. It is
commonly served with a side of either
fried or steamed mantou buns, which
are used to scoop up the sauce.

Marina Bay
Marina Bay represents all things
modern and super-stylish, from
trendy dining destinations to exciting
leisure spots. Marvel at the collection
of architectural icons that dot the

impressive skyline and enjoy the
breath-taking views of the SkyPark
Observation Deck. Walk along the
scenic waterfront promenade decorated with artistic sculptures that
lead you right to the water’s edge of
Marina Reservoir, where you will
probably come across kite flyers,
dragon boat races and even musical
performances. Finally, step into the
massive Marina Bay Cruise Centre
Singapore, one of the largest and
most uniquely designed cruise terminals in Asia.
