COLOGNE, Germany: Successful prosthetic or implant therapy measures require intensive collaboration between dentists and dental technicians. At the International Dental Show (IDS), which will be held in Cologne from 10 to 14 March 2015, visitors to the biennial event will have the opportunity to see the latest innovations in dental prosthetics and implantology exhibited by manufacturers from around the globe.
Teamwork between dentists and dental technicians is becoming increasingly important, especially with regard to backward planning, in which individual implant prostheses are planned backwards from the desired treatment result. In light of the diversity of new developments in methodology and material science, dental technicians in particular are central to the realisation of complex treatments, assisting the dentist and the patient in the selection and manufacture of prosthetic and implantological structures and materials.
The collaboration between dental practices and laboratories is supported by a number of new developments from the dental industry. For instance, modern CAD/CAM software and its increasing networking with digital procedures has enormously increased precision and allows for early involvement of the patient in the planning of his or her dental prosthesis, resulting in a prosthesis that corresponds with the expectations and financial means of the patient.
With regard to innovative materials for alternative manufacturing methods, build-up processes, such as selective laser melting of powder metallurgical materials and sintering of cobalt–chromium alloys, are increasingly gaining importance, in addition to milling processes with ceramic or precious metal materials.
“The IDS makes an important contribution to successful dialogue between dentists and dental technicians. At the same time, this leading trade fair offers the dental industry an incomparable showcase and discussion forum for those innovations that drive the collaboration between the laboratory and dental practice forwards,” said Dr Markus Heibach, Executive Director of the Association of German Dental Manufacturers (VDDI).
At the 2015 show, more than 2,000 exhibitors will be showcasing their latest products in the field over 150,000 m2. Alongside the exhibition, dental professionals will have the opportunity to attend numerous lectures and presentations.COLOGNE, Germany: Successful prosthetic or implant therapy measures require intensive collaboration between dentists and dental technicians.
