languages from the FDI website.
It is essential reading for all those
interested in the future of dental
medicine in the world, the challenges it faces and ideas on how
to resolve them. For the FDI and its
member associations worldwide, it
provides a blueprint for achieving
its goals and ambitions.
Always in the vanguard of trends
and thinking, the FDI, at this year’s
event, is maintaining its focus on the
future role of dental medicine, placing
it firmly within the context of public
health policy, strategies in fields of
public concern such as noncommunicable diseases, and the imperative
of linking oral health with general
health.
The congress itself is the key
event in the organisation’s annual
calendar for continuing dental education: most of the time and in at
least one region, the FDI provides
continuing education throughout
the year. However, the congress
brings a unique, international focus, with speakers from every area
of the world, the Americas, Africa,
South and West Asia, the Asia Pacific and Europe.

Just one day before the congress
opened, on 28 August, the FDI’s World
Dental Parliament—some 300 delegates from over 130 national dental
associations and specialist groups—
convened for its annual plenary

just-released FDI document titled
“Vision 2020: Shaping the future

It is a place where ideas are
communicated and shared among
people from different horizons and
where friendships are cemented.
Way back in 1922, King Alfonso of
Spain, addressing FDI delegates in
Madrid, said, “By your meeting here
you men of science are giving a lesson to diplomats. Because, as soon
as something can be done for the
good of humanity, for you nations
no longer exist ( … ) A much higher
conception unites you all.”
I believe that what he said rings
true today. Here we are, men—and
women—of science, united under

NCDs—A major obstacle to socio-economic development
By Dr Martin Gillis, Canada
velopment Goals and the Post-2015
UN development agenda.
Oral disease, the most common
NCD and one of the most expensive
and subsidiaries such as the Food
and Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations and the Codex Alimentarius Commission, and partnerships with external agencies, includ-
lifestyle choices in today’s society.
Improving nutrition will require governments to mandate legislation
and regulation reflective of health in
all policies; a philosophical shift in
“Oral disease, the most common NCD and one of the most
expensive to treat, is a global public health concern.”
I Dr Martin Gillis
n September 2011, a UN Highlevel Meeting on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) was held
in New York City. This was a watershed moment in the global fight
against NCDs with the adoption of
the Political Declaration on NCDs
by UN member states, meaning that
all nations must take action against
this global epidemic. The four principal NCDs, cardiovascular disease,
cancer, diabetes and respiratory
diseases, accounted for 60 % of all
deaths globally and 80 % of deaths
in low- and middle-income countries in 2005. The WHO projects that
deaths attributed to NCDs will rise
globally by 17 % by 2015.
I
There are four primary risk factors that fuel the rising incidence of
NCDs: tobacco use, alcohol abuse,
poor nutrition and physical inactivity. Disease prevention and control
focused on minimising public exposure to such risk is vital to reversing the rising tide of NCDs. If this is
not done, NCDs will continue to be
a major obstacle to socio-economic
development and a barrier to the
achievement of the Millennium De-
to treat, is a global public health concern. The political declaration notes
that oral diseases “share common
risk factors and can benefit from
common responses”. Therefore, interventions and strategies to improve nutrition should
have a positive impact on
all NCDs, including the
prevention and control
of oral disease. The UN
knows how to deal with
NCDs; it is a matter of
taking action by operationalising existing plans
such as the WHO Global
Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health,
and utilising processes
and structures such as
the WHO Innovative Care
for Chronic Conditions
Framework.
ing global NGOs such as the FDI
World Dental Federation and the
International Diabetes Federation
(IDF), is needed. Diets comprised of
processed foods with high fat, salt,
and sugar content are common
the agrifood industry to provide affordable, healthy food; health-care
providers to educate and facilitate
behaviour change in the public they
serve; and all of society to engage in
healthy lifestyle practices.
Partnerships are crucial to the
success of future endeavours against
NCDs. Many NGOs and civil society
organisations have already come
together under the NCD Alliance
and the World Health Professions
Alliance to share expertise and coordinate efforts to facilitate change.
The FDI and IDF recognise the importance of partnership as witnessed
by the release of “A call to action
for integrated case management of
the diabetic patient” during the 2007
Annual World Dental Congress in
Dubai. This led IDF to create oral
health resources for diabetes care
providers and raised awareness
about the importance of oral health
in diabetes management.
Today we have the task of implementing the Political Declaration on NCDs by addressing
complex issues such as poor
nutrition. Mitigating this risk
factor will help with the prevention and control of oral
disease and type 2 diabetes.
Now is the time for both federations to renew efforts for
collaborative action on this
global concern.
Dr Martin Gillis is an assistant professor at the Dalhousie University’s Faculty of
Dentistry in Halifax, Canada,
and a member of IDF’s Consultative Section on Diabetes
Education. He also serves as
the oral health representative for IDF. Today, he will be
presenting a paper entitled
“Poor nutrition: A risk factor
driving the NCD epidemic”
as part of the scientific programme at this year’s congress in room S221 of the
HKCEC.
The WHO will be the
lead agency implementing prevention and control measures for NCDs;
however, progress will

esenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
are a population of hierarchical postnatal stem cells
with the potential to differentiate into mesodermal lineage-derived cells,
including osteoblasts, chondrocytes,
adipocytes, cardiomyocytes, myoblasts and non-mesodermal lineagederived cells, such as neural cells.
They are a promising source for
regenerative medicine in terms of
forming mineralised tissue to replace

Sharpey’s fibres in swine and humans.
More interestingly, we used orofacial MSCs to regenerate root/periodontal complexes that are capable
of supporting artificial porcelain
crowns, resulting in restoration of
normal tooth function in swine. We
were also able to generate jaw osteonecrosis in mice and employed

pro-inflammatory T cells in the recipients inhibited BMMSC-mediated
bone formation via T helper 1 cytokine interferon (IFN)-γ-induced downregulation of runt-related transcription factor 2 pathway and tumour
necrosis factor (TNF)-α-regulated
BMMSC apoptosis. We found that
TNF-α converted IFN-γ-activated nonapoptotic Fas to a caspase 3/8-associated apoptotic signalling in BMMSCs through inhibition of nuclear
factor kappa B, resulting in BMMSC
apoptosis.
local administration of aspirin reduced levels of IFN-γ and TNF-α at
the implantation site and significantly improved BMMSC-based calvarial
defect repair.
These results collectively uncover
a previously unrecognised role of recipient T cells in BMMSC-based tissue
engineering and suggest a practical
approach to enhancing bone regeneration by pharmacological control of
local cytokines.
MSC-based immunotherapy has
demonstrated successful outcomes in
several human diseases and preclinical disease models, including acute
graft-versus-host disease, systemic
lupus erythematosus and SS, etc. The
promising results of such therapeutic
effects have led to exploration of the
underlying mechanisms. It has been
shown that MSCs, including orofacial
tissue-derived MSCs, target lymphocytes through several soluble factors,
such as nitric oxide, indoleamine 2,3dioxygenase, and the Fas/FasL pathway. The immunomodulatory properties of MSCs also play an important
role in treating immune-related oral
diseases, such as bisphosphonaterelated osteonecrosis of the jaw characterised by suppression of regulatory
T cells and activation of T helper 17 cells.
Our and others’ studies indicate
the great potential for using MSCs
to treat a variety of disorders and
to regenerate functional mineralised
tissue.
Dr Songtao Shi is an associate professor at the University of Southern
California’s Center for Craniofacial
Molecular Biology in Los Angeles in

Opinion
Traditional imaging will not disappear with CBCT
An interview with congress presenter Prof. Stefan Haßfeld, Germany
he ability to examine the
craniofacial anatomy with help
of three-dimensional images
obtained through Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) has
been praised as the new gold standard in oral surgery. Worldental
Daily had the opportunity to speak
T
with Prof. Stefan Haßfeld from the
University of Dortmund’s Department of Oral and Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery in Germany, who will
be presenting an afternoon session
on CBCT in Hall F this Wednesday
about the technology and its future
potential.
I Worldental Daily: Prof. Haßfeld,
in your opinion, has CBCT become
a standard in dentistry?
Prof. Stefan Haßfeld: CBCT has
been available in dentistry for over
a decade and since then has been
established as a standard for many
indications. Despite this develop-
I Prof. Stefan Haßfeld
AD
-iiÊvÕÀÊÌiÃÊÀi
/ iÊ-Þi>ÊÀ>}iÊÜÌ Ê
ment, I doubt that the technology
will make traditional imaging obsolete any time soon. Instead, it will
be used as an aid in more complex
treatments.
I One of the areas in which CBCT is
used is implant treatment planning.
What are the other main areas of
application?
Nowadays, the technology is
widely used in complex oral and
maxillofacial surgery procedures. For
example, we regularly examine large
cysts and deeply impacted third
molars with CBCT. Its use can also
be of benefit for the diagnosis of
maxillary sinus diseases, as well as
in traumatology or the correction of
anomalies and dysgnathias.
I What potential does the technology offer regarding the improvement of treatment outcomes?
In contrast to traditional imaging, CBCT allows the human autonomy and pathology to be assessed in detail in 3-D space. This
can be extremely helpful for treatment planning and the assessment
of regions that present a surgical
risk, like adjacent nerves, teeth or
blood vessels.
³
In many cases, we expect a significant reduction in operative risks
and an improvement in surgical
planning.
I According to the industry, the
radiation dose for patients is significantly lower with CBCT. Do you
agree with this statement?
I would have to disagree, since
compared with traditional imaging,
CBCT usually has a higher radiation
dose. However, it also yields completely different information. By taking a high number of single images
from different angles, CBCT can provide lower radiation doses only in a
few exceptional cases.
I Is this the only drawback compared with traditional imaging techniques?
As CBCT has another field of indications, comparison with traditional
imaging techniques is not appropriate. However, there are indeed
some shortcomings, like higher radiation doses and costs, as well as
a lower resolution compared with
dental film.
I What role will CBCT play in dental
practices in the future?
CBCT will take root in dental
practices, particularly in those with
emphasis on surgery, when it comes
to certain complex treatment issues.
Optimal

For all the mentioned reasons,
traditional imaging methods will not
disappear. A panoramic X-ray image,
for example, provides an excellent
overview of the entire jaw arch for
clinically oriented examinations,
with only little effort and at a small
radiation dose.

Dental film still offers the highest resolution for viewing details.
Rather, the establishment of CBCT

requirements through its perfect
adaptation to the natural tooth
colour and tooth like brilliance of
the final filling. The light-curing
micro hybrid composite Composan
LCM combines a high filler content
with a well-balanced resin matrix
for excellent properties such as
minimal abrasion, low polymerisation shrinkage as well as high compressive and transverse strength.
According to the German company, it
also convinces by its easy handling as
well as optimal polishing properties.
In combination with Compobond 1,
the adhesion of Composan LCM to
dentine and enamel is extraordinarily strong thus sealing off the cavity
margin, it said.
Composan LCM can be used in both
anterior and posterior areas, as well as
for inlay and onlay techniques. It is available as a flowable version Composan
LCM flow that is indicated for minimal
invasive preparation, fillings of class III
to V, extended fissure sealing etc.

New
compressor
generation
by Dürr
I At the FDI Annual World Dental
Congress, the German dental
company Dürr is presenting the
new generation of its successful compressor series to dental
professionals in Asia. First introduced at IDS Cologne in 2011, both
the Tornado 1 and 2 are said to
be robust, ultrasilent and economical while offering the same
advantages as the first generation
including a compact design and
compressed air of the highest
quality.
According to Dürr, the new
model uses 15 per cent less energy than its predecessor. It’s improved design, recently awarded
a winner of the red dot design
award 2011, and lower noise level
makes it more adaptable to dental
offices.
The devices can be used for
up to three operatories. An antibacterial coating based on nanotechnology on the inside of the
tank is supposed to ensure the
highest level of hygiene. Both
versions also benefit from an optional membrane-drying unit that
provides constant dry air and
practically zero regeneration time
which make the compressors especially suited for for heavy-duty
conditions. Since the compression
performance is more effectively
exploited through the membranedrying unit, the equipment can
be operated 24 hours a day, the
company said.

Bone Level
Implants
I The Straumann Dental Implant
System includes the new generation Bone Level Implant which is
now available all over Asia, including China, Taiwan and Japan.
According to the company, these
new implants, developed in close
collaboration with internationally
renowned experts and confirmed
through clinical studies, combine
new and innovative concepts with
well-documented design elements
to provide dental professionals
with aesthetic flexibility.
Bone Level Implants feature
Straumann’s novel Bone Control
Design, a concept which follows
the five fundamental biological
principles to optimise bone preservation and stabilising soft tissue. While the SLActive implant
surface offers unparalleled implant surface osteoconductivity,
the conical implant-abutment connection provides a strong and
tight joint in all cases of loading. In
addition, the biomechanical design of the implant and thread
optimises the transmission of the
chewing forces to the bone, provide high primary stability and
make the basis for crestal bone
preservation, Straumann said.
The biological distance is respected by the horizontal distance
between the microgap and the
bone. Moreover, the transition of
the rough to the smooth surface is
optimally positioned at the level
of the crestal bone to provide the
maximum surface for osseointegration and soft tissue growth.
The Straumann Bone Level Implant is available in three endosteal diameters and four lengths
and comes with a comprehensive
prosthetic portfolio. According to
the company, they can be placed
with the same surgical kit and procedure as the other implants in
the company’s current range, thus
providing even greater flexibility,
broader treatment options and
higher reliability.

Beautifil Injectable
I SHOFU’s new Beautifil Injectable
wants you to inject beauty and
strength into your restoration. This
universal direct aesthetic restorative has a novel resin micro-structure that was developed to impart
superior mechanical properties for
improved performance even in load
bearing areas. According to the
company, the paste offers ideal viscosity and a non-tacky, non-droopy
consistency, so that restorations can
be easily shaped as clinicians extrude
the material from the syringe.
By optimising the filler-matrix
complex, Beautifil Injectable controls
light diffusion within in order to mimic
the optical characteristics of natural
teeth, the company said. With inherent natural aesthetics, fluorescence
and opalescence, they said this re-
storative is intended to carve a niche
in direct cosmetic dentistry by creating indiscernible restorations. As a
member of the successful Giomer
product family, Beautifil Injectable
also contains S-PRG fillers to provide
continuous fluoride protection and
unique anti-plaque effect.
The material is available in 2.2 gram
syringes with disposable needle tips
for cross infection control. The syringe delivery allows the paste to
be injected conveniently by the
clinician into the restoration site
for reduced instrumentation and a
shorter working time.

Worldleading
instruments
I For more than four decades,
Abrasive Technology has been
recognised as one of the world’s
leading manufacturers of superabrasive grinding wheels and tools
but perhaps nothing defines the
company’s commitment to precision more than its dental products
—most notably its Two Striper diamond dental instruments. In fact,
the company says to have taken
extra steps to ensure that these
products are not only safer, but better balanced and easier to use.
AT’s founders developed a
unique diamond bonding process
called P.B.S. that makes it possible
to manufacture grinding tools that
are superior to other products on
the market, the company said. The
process is said to increase productivity and part consistency simply
because it will last longer, cut faster,
run cooler and load less.
According to the company, the
process is one of the most effective
and innovative bonding processes
in the industry. It’s a science that
the company said to have helped
to transform itself—and a craft that
it’s working every day to perfect.
Through continuous innovation, product development and enhancement, Abrasive Technology
aims to meet the most demanding specifications and solve the
most challenging applications. From
disks and trimming wheels to instruments and files, its dental products epitomise high quality, attention to detail and superior craftsmanship and makes them a number
one choice in the industry.
For more information about
the company’s line of products,
FDI visitors are invited to a Dental
Tribune Study Club Symposia session at booth K30 inside the exhibition hall.

A premier global destination
Special administrative region attracts millions in capital and visitors each year
here is probably no other date
in Hong Kong’s recent history
as significant as 1 July. On a
stormy Tuesday night back in 1997,
millions of people took to the streets
in unprecedented celebrations when
the People’s Republic of China finally
T
took over control of the territory after
156 years of British rule.
While the handover was considered a fresh start by many Hong
Kongers, it definitely marked Britain’s
final act as a colonial superpower.
In the joint declaration signed with
China already in 1984, however, both
parties had agreed to leave the colony’s existing economic system untouched for another 50 years. Owing
to this component of the Sino–British
declaration, Hong Kong was able to
AD
become the economic powerhouse
we know today.
With a populace of slightly over
seven million people, the former
colony now produces a gross domestic product higher than those of states
like Denmark and Portugal. It is also
considered one of the most important international financial centres.
According to global management
consulting firm McKinsey, its stock
exchange, already among the world’s
top ten when it comes to capitalisation, attracted the most capital in
the world for the second consecutive
year in 2011. While the government
recently had to cut growth forecasts
owing to the global economic slowdown, consumption in the city remained stable owing to a sound job
sector and increases in income.
Similar to its economic success,
the city has transformed itself into
a first class travel destination, making
tourism a major source of income.
Boosted by attractions like Hong
Kong Disneyland, which was opened
in 2005, and major events like the
recently held International Dragon
Boat Championships, it sees 42 million visitor arrivals per year, a number
currently only exceeded throughout
the Asia Pacific region by Malaysia
and mainland China.
“These results certainly underline
Hong Kong’s status as a preferred
international travel destination and
as Asia’s world city,” said James Tien,
Chairman of the Hong Kong Tourism
Board, in August. “We have already
planned the launch of a series of
mega events in the coming months to

further enhance Hong Kong’s appeal
and provide our tourist partners
with different business platforms.”
According to Tien, highlights this
year will include the Hong Kong MidAutumn Festival, which will take place
in September/October and will see a
giant lantern erected at Victoria Park
on Hong Kong Island, among other
things.
the North and countries like Taiwan,
the board which operates under
the HK government, already began
strategising Hong Kong’s development as a tourist destination in the
late 1990s. As a first step, travel
restrictions within China were eased
through the Individual Visit Scheme
almost a decade ago. Since then,
travel between mainland China and
Hong Kong has skyrocketed to over
15 million visitors per year.
Owing to increasing competition
from Hong Kong’s greater brother in
Funding for the Mega Events Fund
has also recently been extended

until 2014. The financial assistance
scheme, worth hundreds of millions
of HK dollars, was established in 2009
in order to give non-profit organisations the means to host their meetings and events in Hong Kong.
As well as its large share of Chinese visitors, the city attracts millions
of visitors from around the globe, of
which many have decided to stay.
Therefore, the city’s cultural and culinary scene is as diverse as in any other
major city in the world. With two 3-star
and seven 2-star restaurants, Hong

Kong now offers greater culinary excellence than London or San Francisco. Just last month, two Michelinstarred French-Italian chef Philippe
Leveille announced the opening of
a new Italian restaurant called l’Altro
in the Central District.
Hong Kong is also the third largest
art market after the US and China,
drawing thousands of visitors to its
International Art Fair held every year
in May.
Despite its receptiveness to foreign influences, however, the city has
never forgotten its Chinese roots,
which will become important in 2047,
when Hong Kong’s guaranteed autonomy expires. Although relations with
the motherland are close, observers
are questioning whether the city,
which is largely dependent on trade,
can maintain its economic vitality
over the next 30 years alongside a
prospering China.
Until then, at least Hong Kong is
likely to remain Asia’s premier global
destination.

provides more information on city
tours, sights and events. Its main visitor centres are located at the airport
(arrivals level, Terminal 1) and at the
Peak Piazza (between The Peak Tower
and The Peak Galleria).

What’s on Wednesday, 29 August
FDI SOCIAL PROGRAMME
WELCOME CEREMONY
The welcome ceremony is a notto-miss event at every FDI Annual
World Dental Congress. Not only does
it mark the official start of the congress, but it also gives the host city
the opportunity to present itself in the
best possible way. The organisers of
this year’s event have arranged a
unique performance that will reflect
Hong Kong’s diverse traditions, as
well as its rich culture and history.
The ceremony will be held today
from 18:30 to 20:00 in the Grand Hall
on Level 3 of the HKCEC. Admission
starts at 17:45 and is free for registered congress participants.

As part of Le French May, an annual art festival organised by the Con-
AD
sulate General of France in collaboration with the Alliance Française and
supported by the Leisure and Cultural
Services Department of Hong Kong,
this exhibition by stage designer and
media artist Chi-Yung Wong transports visitors to a place separated
from the real world. His latest work is
a unique mix of light and music written by contemporary French and HK
artists. Visitors can immerse themselves in this visual wonderland until
Saturday, 1 September. Admission to
the installation is free.

HIDDEN AGENDA THE MOVIE
Venue: Hidden Agenda Live House,

hiddenagenda.hk
The Hidden Agenda Live House
is former band-practice room in the
Kwun Tong district that in 2009 was
transformed by a couple of post-80s
music lovers into a place for live indie
music. Today, it is a hot spot for local
and foreign bands alike. This documentary film, part of the 2012 Venice
Architecture Biennale Hong Kong Exhibition, tells the short but eventful
story of this venue, which was twice
evacuated by the Hong Kong government. After the screening, there will
be special performances.
MUSIC AND THEATRE
“THE DEITY NA CHA”,
CANTONESE OPERA PERFORMANCE
Venue: Yau Ma Tei Theatre, 19:30
www. lcsd.gov.hk
The historical building in which
the theatre is housed is the only remaining pre-World War II theatre in
Kowloon and in the past it screened
erotic films during financially difficult
times. Having undergone significant
renovations since 1998, the building
at the junction of Waterloo Road and
Reclamation Street now hosts a modern 300-seat auditorium designed
solely for Cantonese opera.Tonight’s
performance is based on an ancient
Chinese legend about a man who tangles with the gods and sacrifices himself for the common man, and is then
resurrected as an immortal being.
