Dental Tribune United Kingdom Edition

25IDS 2011March 14-20, 2011United Kingdom Edition and smaller and shorter im- plants have been launched over time. Even teeth that show high levels of decay can now be restored to their former functionality for many years to come. In endodontics, the ef- fective cleaning of root canals remains one of the most impor- tant topics. In regard to new busi- ness models, the coopera- tion between laboratories, distribution centres and the industry comes into mind. Nowadays, the single-man lab- oratory can almost offer the same portfolio as laboratories with much large manpower. Digital imaging allows spe- cialised centres to offer small practices the whole spectrum of diagnostic services. What product segments are showing high prospects? Oliver P. Kuhrt: We experi- ence growth in many den- tal fields which is basically a result of manufacturers ex- tending and complementing their product offerings with promising new products and solutions. The most promi- nent segments will probably be dental implants, prophy- laxis, dental hygiene, cosmet- ic dentistry and CAD/CAM. However, we also observed growthinthefieldofdentalprac- tice equipment and functional systems for dental laboratories. The worldwide economy is recovering fast. Have you experienced similar devel- opmentsin the dental indus- try as well as the trade show business? Dr Martin Rickert: The steady demand for dental services by patients confirms that the will- ingness to sustain their health has not been negatively affected by difficult economic circum- stances. Most people know that investments in their health are investments in their quality of life and, last but not least, in their own future. Due to the recession, the US dental industry has been struggling recently. Do you think this could have an ef- fect on the position of IDS as the world’s largest dental trade show? Dr Martin Rickert: The un- disputed position of IDS as the world’s leading dental trade show is a result of a continu- ing target-oriented strategy of the German dental industry and its partner Koelnmesse. The strong presence of for- eign exhibitors and visitors is creating an atmosphere of global awareness that makes the IDS what it is today, an international dental market place that is independent of temporary or local economic developments. Will the first day of the trade show again be dedicated to dental dealers and im- porters? Dr Martin Rickert: Definitely! According to most exhibitors and international deal- ers I spoke to, the “Dealers Day” on Tuesday has been received very well in the past. Most industry repre- sentatives appreciate the fact that specialists are available non-stop for business con- tacts and negotiations during that day. What else can be expected from this year’s IDS? Oliver P. Kuhrt: In addition to halls three, four, 10 and 11, we are going to open hall two with an additional exhibition space of 143.000sqm this year. Due to this measure, all exhibition halls are now located next to each other and are easily ac- cessible through the South, East and West entrances to evenly guide the stream of visitors.

Kuhrt Biodentine™: The Ultimate Dentine Substitute, at this year’s IDS Launched in the UK in September 2010, Biodentine™ can be used wherever dentine has been lost or damaged. At this years’ IDS in Cologne, delegates can find out more by visiting the Septodont stand for the German launch of this revolutionary new product. The novel new material is the first all-in- one bioactive and biocompatible dentine substitute. Everyday dentists are facing multiple conditions involving dentine including: • Permanent Dentine Restorations• Pulpotomies • Apexification • Pulp exposure • Perforations • Internal/External Resorptions • Apical surgery Biodentine™ can be used to treat all of these indications. Based on unique Active BiosilicateTechnology™, never before has a product so closely mimicked dentine itself. Highly biocompatible, thanks to its Tricalcium Silicate core, Biodentine™ helps preserve pulp vitality by promoting reactionary dentine genesis and has outstanding sealing properties to reduce the risk of clinical failures through bacterial percolation, thus ensuring the absence of post- operative sensitivity. Biodentine™ also needs no surface conditioning or bonding, making it simple and easy to use for the busy clinician and an ideal tool in emergency restorative situations where time is of the essence.

Brand New materials from GC UK GC has been busy developing new products to make your working life more predictable. Kalore universal composite features an exclusive low shrinkage. On a microscopic level, during and after polymerisation, adhesion between the fillers and the resin matrix is maintained meaning minimal shrinkage stress. G-ænial Bond offers the simplicity and reduced post-operative sensitivity of a self-etch adhesive together with the greater bond strength found with etch/ rinse adhesives. The nano-interaction zone - and the HEMA-free formulation are key factors for the superior and long-lasting bond strength. The renowned Fuji ORTHO LC is now available in GC’s ultra-convenient automix delivery system. The balanced bond strength makes that brackets will be reliably retained throughout the treatment and the enamel is protected by the sustained and rechargeable fluoride reducing the risk of white spots. EXA’lence has combined the finest qualities of two great materials – polyether and addition cured silicone in a technological breakthrough.This new generation of material,Vinyl Polyether Silicone (VPES) exhibits superior elasticity and high tear strength allowing easy removal of the impression shredding in a sub gingival area. With intrinsic hydrophilic properties and excellent wettability this material captures even the minutest of detail in a moist environment.
