YOUR
ANNUAL WORLD DENTAL CONGRESS NEWSPAPER
Advance Issue, August 2012
FDI World Dental Federation showcases
future vision in Hong Kong
100th Annual World Dental Congress to highlight latest achievements in dentistry
T
Organised in partnership with the
Hong Kong Dental Association, the
event will not only give participants
the opportunity to bring themselves
up to date on the latest technologies
and methods in various fields of dentistry, but also to network with peers
from all over the world and discuss
current issues related to their profession. According to the latest figures,
the scientific programme will comprise presentations by over 100 internationally renowned experts on such
topics as practice management, periimplantitis, the use of CBCT in oral
surgery and the treatment of endodontic lesions. More than 200 companies and traders will present their
newest dental equipment and materials at the World Dental Exhibition,
hosted at the Hong Kong Convention
and Exhibition Centre in Causeway
Bay, Central Hong Kong. In addition, a
number of sessions and meetings will
be held for military dental officers,
young and women dentists, as well as
professionals involved in paediatric
dentistry.
“The FDI event in Hong Kong will
further substantiate the international
status, reputation and competitive
edge of Hong Kong professionals,”
Chairman of the Hong Kong Coalition of Professional Services Leung
Chun-ying said.
FDI HONG KONG 2012:
THE CENTENARY CONGRESS
This year marks the 100th time that
members of the World Dental Federation will come together for the AWDC
since the founding members met for
the first time in Cambridge in the UK
in 1901. Since then, the global federation of dentists has invited its
members annually to congresses in
over 30 countries and five continents
with the goal of contributing to the
advancement of dentistry.
Recent editions include congresses held in Singapore, Salvador da
Bahía in Brazil and Mexico City,
among others.
Meetings were halted only twice in
the last century owing to the breakout of the world wars in 1914 and 1939.
While all AWDCs were held in Europe
and North America during the first half
of the 19th century, the organisation
has increasingly selected host cities in
developing regions like Asia and Latin
America recently, a tendency that has
paid off and is reflected by the larger
representation of nations like Iran,
India and China in the number of abstracts submitted for this year’s free
communication and poster sessions.
According to the FDI, 444 abstracts
from 56 countries on issues like
public health, dental materials and
endodontics have been accepted for
the 2012 congress. They will be available in a special supplement of the
International Dental Journal after the
congress, the federation said.
FUTURE VISION
Launched during an international
conference in Rio de Janeiro in 2009,
the Global Caries Initiative (GCI) has
become an important cornerstone of
the FDI’s policy roadmap for 2020.
Its main objective is the introduction
and implementation of a paradigm
shift in the classification and management of caries. While there has been
an increase in the prevalence of other
dental conditions, tooth decay remains the most common dental disease worldwide. Although there has
been a decline in caries in industrialised nations in recent years through
fluoridated toothpaste and improved
dental hygiene, up to 90 per cent of all
people in most low-income countries
suffer from the condition, which often
remains untreated.
At this year’s congress, the new
website for the GCI, developed jointly with Dental Tribune International
(DTI), will be launched. It is the second
online project that FDI has initiated
this year, the first of which was the
launch of the campaign website for
noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)
in May on behalf of the World Health
Professions Alliance, of which FDI is
a member. It is intended to bring together individuals and groups from
around the world to share knowledge
on caries management and the development of a new preventive paradigm. Furthermore, it will include
information and case studies on caries
from FDI member dental associations
around the globe.
“We have been working on the
Global Caries Initiative since 2009
and it is very heartening to see it now
become a reality,” commented FDI
President Orlando Monteiro da Silva.
“The website will offer new opportunities for communicating and exchanging information among experts
in the field and that should lead to
some serious progress.”
“By extension, this will have a
huge impact on our strategy for the
promotion of oral health within the
context of the prevention and control
of noncommunicable diseases,” he
added.
The FDI has been campaigning
for the integration of oral health
into the list of NCDs for priority action by the United Nations and WHO
for years. The current list comprises
cancer, diabetes, and respiratory and
cardiovascular diseases, which the
FDI says should be extended owing
to the fact that all oral conditions
share common NCD risk factors, including unhealthy diet (particularly
high sugar consumption), tobacco,
and harmful alcohol use.
AWDC COVERAGE
The latest news and developments from the congress in Hong
Kong will again be available this
year through the FDI’s official daily congress newspaper, Worldental
Daily, which will be published for
the seventh time together with DTI.
Both organisations have been collaborators since 2005, when the
international dental media group
was appointed official media partner for the FDI’s AWDC in Montreal
in Canada. Since then, DTI has published the FDI’s Worldental Daily
at its congresses in Dubai, Stockholm and Singapore, to name a
few, as well as the FDI’s Worldental
Communiqué bi-monthly newsletter
through its network of international
publishers.
From Wednesday to Saturday, a
team of experienced editors will be
hitting the convention floor in Hong
Kong in order to bring you the latest
results from the World Dental Parliament sessions, exclusive interviews
with congress speakers and the current buzz in the industry. For the first
time, online coverage will also be
available through Dental Tribune’s
news site www.dental-tribune.com.

have been achieved and inequalities will have been reduced through
research-led strategies for more
effective disease prevention, with
the integration of oral health into
healthcare in general.

On this opening day of the FDI
Hong Kong 2012, I would like to
bid you all welcome and express
the hope that you will have a profitable, informative and an enjoyable
stay during the ... congress of the
century!
By Orlando Monteiro da Silva, FDI President
The Congress is political in the
sense that the latest orientation of in
oral health policy is also on display
with the launch of the much-anticipated FDI Global Caries Initiative
(GCI) website, which brings together
individuals and groups from around
the world to exchange, communicate
and share knowledge on caries management and the development of a
new preventive paradigm.
I Orlando Monteiro da Silva
f all the reasons that FDI Hong
Kong 2012 is special, three
spring most immediately to
mind, one sentimental, one political
and one visionary.
O
The sentimental reason is that
this is the 100th anniversary of the
Annual World Dental Congress, a
landmark event celebrating scientific
research and education in dental
medicine. I do urge you to visit the
FDI stand, where one exhibit traces
the milestones of FDI since its founding in 1900.
In many ways, the exhibit also
reflects well over a century of the
history of dentistry and of international cooperation and understanding among the world’s oral health
community.
The GCI prevention paradigm
dovetails with FDI’s most recent concerted effort in public and oral health
in the field of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). FDI has long advocated
that oral health should be integrated
into a common risk factor strategy
with other NCDs, in particular cardiovascular and respiratory disease, diabetes and cancer. This principle is
now, thanks in part to FDI, enshrined
in public policy in the United Nations
Political Declaration on NCDs, which
calls for an approach based on control
and prevention.
The Congress is visionary because two days before, the World
Dental Parliament, meeting here in
Hong Kong, saw the launch of and
debate on FDI’s Vision 2020, a
roadmap for the coming decade in
dental medicine. This document, developed by a specially-created constituted task team in collaboration

continues to go from strength
to strength. We kick started the
year with a global workshop in Istanbul in February, which brought partnership participants together to share
experiences, achievements and, in
some cases, challenges. These faceto-face encounters are central to LLL’s
continued relevance and success.

plicity—a call to action based on sound
science and professional support. All
evidence shows that this is the best
way to improve oral health globally.
This single focus enables FDI and
Unilever to provide targeted sup-
our national dental association and
Unilever partners in each country can
choose the option that is right for
them. This flexibility makes the most
of valuable local expertise to ensure
project relevance, accepting that
adaptation can be essential for real,
health in target populations, and
to educate them in good preventive
oral health behaviours. As with many
other behaviour change interventions, we focus particularly on children, for whom we hope that learning
healthy habits will provide benefits
over a lifetime. All projects are evaluated through data collection, some
with a clinical component. Overall, we
anticipate tangible impact in terms
of surveillance, community-level care
and follow-up.
I Dr Monica Carlile
From our perspective as global
partners, LLL remains a model partnership within the overall FDI vision
of leading the world to optimal oral
health, and contributes to Unilever’s
aim of helping one billion people
improve their health and well-being,
as part of its Sustainable Living Plan.
Our commitment to working together,
combining our skills and resources
and applying them towards a shared
goal, is the first example of a truly
global health partnership in the field
of oral health and dentistry.
Phase II of our partnership has
potential for significant impact, both
through its conceptual design and implementation of projects locally. Our
message: “brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste” is powerful in its sim-

benefits of scale across the partnership, for greater impact. Through

Oral health is an integral part of
general health and well-being; improving oral health means improving
people’s lives: it means less pain from
decaying teeth, and fewer school- or
work-days lost through oral diseaserelated absences. Unilever Oral Care
and FDI are proud to be partners in
Live.Learn.Laugh. Look out for updates from LLL in Asia through Worlddental Daily at the congress.

Opinion
Refocus on the relevance and importance of dental health
A short interview with Prof. Lakshman Samaranayake, Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Hong Kong
for the territory, which has long been
considered a developed country.
One has to say that awareness of
the benefits of good oral health is generally improving especially among
the educated groups. The dentists in
the territory, who deliver the major
share of dental services, however,
need to convey the message to the
public that oral health is intimately
related to systemic health and quality
of life.
I What can a major dental congress
like FDI Hong Kong 2012 add to the
improvement of dentistry in Hong
Kong?
The focus and priority of the HK
government has been on the general
health rather than dental health of the
populace. Fortunately, the new Chief
Executive and President of the Executive Council of Hong Kong, Leung
Chun-ying, is a friend and an ardent
enthusiast of the dental profession, and
we trust that under his leadership den-
tal services will improve vastly and be
given the recognition needed. The FDI’s
Annual World Dental Congress will help
to refocus the attention of both the
government and the public on the relevance and importance of dental health.
I Thank you very much for this interview.
AD
I Prof. Lakshman Samaranayake
012 is not the first time that an
FDI congress is taking place in
Hong Kong. Two years before
the city’s handover from Great
Britain to China, dentists from all
over the world gathered here for the
1995 Annual World Dental Congress.
Worldental Daily had the opportunity to speak with the Dean of the
University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of
Dentistry, Prof. Lakshman Samaranayake, about the current state of
dental health care in Hong Kong and
what this year’s congress might
mean for HK dentistry.
2
I Worldental Daily: The last FDI congress in Hong Kong took place in
1995. What significant changes have
taken place in HK dentistry over the
last 17 years?
Prof. Lakshman Samaranayake:
There have been incipient but decisive changes in Hong Kong dentistry. Particularly after 1997, when
the territory was handed over to
China, changes in the HK dental ecosystem could be seen both in the
general provision of dental health
care to the population, as well as in
the education and training opportunities for dentists in Hong Kong.

As for the dental ecosystem in
general, since the handover to China
the executive-led HK government
has paid little heed to dental health
care for underserved populations
and continued in the British style of
administration, where an elite civil
service was able to receive virtually
free dental care, while the rest were
exposed to the quirks of a private
practice system, which the majority
could not afford.
Recently, the government introduced a subsidised dental scheme,
for the elderly in particular. However,
the vestiges of colonial times remain, and free dentistry is still only
available to civil servants. Being an
exception, schoolchildren have benefited under both governments. The
School Dental Service is generally
well funded and regarded as a good
service provider.
I Apart from the younger population,
where do Hong Kongers rank in the
field of oral health?
As mentioned, the vast majority of
the population is still in need of dental
service, yet the demand is poor as in
most Asian countries. The reasons for
this may be the financial constraints
of expensive dental care or general
ignorance regarding the importance
of dental health. Although Hong Kong
does not have highly neglected oral
care, compared with developed nations the dentist to population ratio of
approximately 1 to 4,000 is rather low

W&H’s new Proface light probe
(Fig. 2, Booth G22/26) is supposed
to enable direct visual detection of
caries in opened cavities and, therefore, minimise the risk of caries recurrence. According to the company,
the device enables selective treatment during caries excavation based
on Fluorescence Aided Caries Excavation (FACE), a method in which violet
light is applied to the opened cavity
where metabolic by-products, left by
the bacteria in infected dentine and
not visible to the human eye, fluoresce red while healthy tooth substance fluoresce green.
Dürr Dental (Booth H20/J19) is
presenting the latest generation of
its successful compressor series. First
introduced at IDS Cologne in Germany last year, both the Tornado 1 and 2
are said to be more robust, ultrasilent as well as economical than their
predecessors.

22 tips for visitors to Hong Kong
Ladies’ Market, Tung Choi St.
This market on Tung Choi Street
stretches over one kilometre with
rows of over 100 stalls that sell mainly clothing and accessories. While
women of all ages are the target
group, as implied by its name and its
extensive offering of items appealing
mainly to the female sex, men will
also be able to find a bargain or two.
Despite the already low prices, haggling is still considered a must.
Temple Street Night Market,
Temple St.
A visit to the night market at
Temple Street—open from 17:00 to
midnight—is worth it for the atmosphere alone. The place centred around
the Tin Hau temple is your standard
outdoor market experience mixed
with lots of oddities like fortunetellers, low-quality Cantonese opera
performances and foods difficult to
identify from one of the many street
hawker stalls.
RESTAURANTS
Amber at The Landmark Mandarin
Oriental, 11–19A Queen’s Rd.,
www.amberhongkong.com
As one of Hong Kong’s few restaurants with two Michelin stars, this
venue is dedicated to contemporary
French cuisine at its finest. Culinary
Director Richard Ekkebus, a Dutch
native, learned his art among such
world-renowned chefs as Pierre Gagnaire, Alain Passard and Guy Savoy.
His signature dishes include Hokkaido sea urchin in a lobster jelly
with cauliflower, caviar, and crispy
seaweed waffles and duck foie gras,
steamed then chargrilled with virgin
pistachio oil salt-roasted beetroots in
a cherry juice and hibiscus reduction.
Bo Innovation, 60 Johnston Rd.,
www.boinnovation.com
Headed by culinary extremist
Alvin Leung, this restaurant serves
“X-treme Chinese Cuisine”, a unique
mix of the Chinese cooking tradition and modern culinary concepts
like molecular gastronomy. Therefore, visitors to this restaurant will
find themselves relishing familiar yet
deconstructed forms of dishes like
lap mei fan (waxed meat rice) and
mui choy kau yuk (stewed pork with
preserved mustard leaves). Praised
by many of his patrons, Leung has
become a kind of celebrity lately with
appearances in several TV shows.
Yung Kee, 32–40 Wellington St.,
www.yungkee.com.hk
This eatery is usually recommended as a must-see restaurant in
Hong Kong. Famous for its roasted
goose, it began as a small food stall
selling street food to travellers near
the Hong Kong–Macau Ferry Pier in
the late 1930s.Nowadays, the restaurant occupies a six-storey building in
Wellington street and sells almost any
form of meat you can imagine, ranging from duck, beef and pork to more
exotic offerings like frog or pigeon.
Piggy Grill,Shop 1, G/F, 17 Shun Ning Rd.,
www.piggygrill.com
The pork meat enthusiast will love
this place. Located in Sham Shui Po
in Kowloon, this rather unremarkable
restaurant has become locally and internationally renowned for its roasted
suckling pig, which is cut into little
pieces and served simply on a platter.
This is probably one of the best places
12
www.fdiworldental.org
in Hong Kong to hang out with friends
and indulge in simple food and a couple of beers.
dance and R & B beats generated by a
massive sound system synchronised
with a large LED wall.
Maxim MX, various locations,
www.maxims.com.hk/en
Although this chain of restaurants
technically sells fast food, its offering is very different from places like
McDonald’s and KFC. Operated since
1972 by a company with the same
name, these food outlets serve inexpensive but tasty Chinese and localised Western dishes in a spacy decor
that would make Stanley Kubrick
proud. Besides its quick-serving restaurants, the Maxim Group also runs
other Asian-style food restaurants,
as well as a couple of bakeries and
cafés. Since 2000, the company has
also been operating all Starbucks
coffee shops in Hong Kong.
The Globe, Garley Building,
45–53 Graham St.,
www.theglobe.com.hk
This bar is said to offer probably
one of the largest selections of beers
in the city. Here, ales and draughts
from Britain and Belgium are complemented by lighter brands from Australia and the US. Some local brews
like the Typhoon T8 English bitter are
also on the list.
TIPS FOR INTERNATIONAL VISITORS
Smoking is prohibited in all indoor public places, including restaurants, karaoke venues, malls and bars.
Tipping is not mandatory, as most
restaurants add a 10 per cent service
charge to the bill.
Penthouse Sky Lounge,
29th Floor, The Sun’s Group Centre,
200 Gloucester Rd.,
www.penthouseskylounge.com
For those who fancy a view, this
chic and trendy karaoke bar in the
heart of the Causeway Bay and Wan
Chai district offers a breathtaking
panorama of the Victoria Harbour
skyline. In addition to a wine bar, the
facility offers several VIP rooms with
karaoke facilities, high-speed Internet access and private restrooms.
SHOPPING
BARS AND NIGHTLIFE
Club 97, 9 Lan Kwai Fong,
www.ninetysevengroup.com
First opened in the early 1990s,
this club has remained one of most
popular night spots in Lan Kwai Fong
and is frequented by local celebrities.
It might therefore be difficult to get
into on busy nights without a reservation. On Fridays, the club stays open
until four in the morning.
Mes Amis, 83 Lockhart Rd.,
www.mesamis.com.hk
With its open façade, this place
was a novelty in the local bar scene
when it opened at the corner of Lockhart and Luard roads in 2000. While
it has clearly lost some of its hipness
over the last decade, it’s still a great
place to chill out, listen to music and
have some drinks.
Fly, G/ F, 24–30 Ice House St.,
clubfly.com.hk
Opened last year by the people
who operate the Volar and Lily &
Bloom clubs, this place was extensively redesigned by Hong Kong
interior designer Alicia Tan to give
it a sleek and contemporary design.
Clubbers can dance away to the latest
Harbour City, Canton Rd.,
www.harbourcity.com.hk
Built on former docking warehouse ground, this interconnected
complex of shopping malls offers
one of the largest selections of highstreet retailers in Hong Kong. Overall,
Harbour City boasts 700 shops, with
emphasis on fashion and cosmetics.
fdi
Arts and Crafts Fair, Hong Kong
Cultural Centre Piazza, Salisbury Rd.
Share in the creativity of local
artists at this unique display of
Hong Kong craftsmanship. The Arts
and Crafts fair, held on Sundays and
public holidays from 14:00 to 18:00,
exhibits a wide variety of services
including live photography, painting,
portraits, sketching, silhouette cutting, calligraphy and stalls selling
handicrafts.
SIGHTSEEING
“The majesty of all under heaven:
The eternal realm of China’s first
emperor”, Hong Kong Museum
of History, 100 Chatham Rd. South,
hk.history.museum
Celebrating the 15th anniversary of
the establishment of the Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region, the
Hong Kong Museum of History is
currently exhibiting the largest display of relics from the Qin Dynasty.
On display are 120 historical artefacts,
including original terracotta warriors,
horses and chariots. The exhibition’s
highlight is a multimedia presentation in the lobby of the museum that
brings the period of China’s first emperor to life through state-of-the-art
digital projection technology. Except
on Tuesdays, the exhibition is open
daily from 9:00 to 22:30. Admission
is HK$10.
Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas,
Off Pai Tau St., Sha Tin
Located in the central New Territories, this temple exhibits 13,000
Buddha figures donated by Buddhist
worshippers since the 1950s. In order
worldental daily
to reach the site on the foothills of Sha
Tin, you have to climb a few hundred
steps, but the temple’s breathtaking
interior makes the effort worthwhile.
Moreover, entrance to the temple is
free.
Star Ferries, Star Ferry Pier,
www.starferry.com.hk
Star Ferry boats, connecting
Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, are
an HK icon not only for the millions of
tourists, who only take the ride to
enjoy magnificent views of Victoria
Harbour, but also for locals who still
prefer this rather ancient form of
transport despite the fact that both
sides of the harbour are linked by various tunnels. Founded in the 1880s,
the 12 vessels carry more than 25 million passengers per year nowadays.
Victoria Peak, www.thepeak.com.hk
You can’t say you’ve been to Hong
Kong without having visited the Peak.
Located in the western half of Hong
Kong Island, it clearly offers the best
views over the city. Besides being
a tourist trap with its large offering
of restaurants, shops and other attractions, like the Madame Tussauds
wax figure exhibition, the top of the
mountain is also the starting point for
a number of nature walks that allow
visitors to explore the wilder side of
Hong Kong.
Ocean Park, Ocean Park Rd.,
www.oceanpark.com.hk
Despite the opening of Hong Kong
Disneyland in 2005, this attraction
has remained a favourite getaway for
Hong Kongers of all ages. In addition
to its 11 animal exhibitions, including
a Giant Panda habitat and a fourstorey aquarium, it also provides a
large number of theme park rides,
such as rollercoasters, water rides
and bumper cars. However, admission isn’t cheap and you will probably
be queuing most of the time when
you visit in summer.
TIPS FOR INTERNATIONAL VISITORS
Operators offer a large selection
of HK day and night tours for all interests. For more information, please

dollar (HK$), which is linked to the
US dollar at a rate of about 7.75 HKD
