Dubai – United Arab Emirates: The 23rd edition of UAE International Dental Conference and Arab Dental Exhibition – AEEDC Dubai, the largest dental event in the MENASA region and the second largest in the world, successfully concluded today at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Center (DICEC). The success of this 3-days global event was witnessed by more than 50,000 satisfied visitors and participants from 155 countries around the world.
Commenting on the conclusion of AEEDC Dubai 2019, Dr. Abdul Salam Al Madani, Executive Chairman of AEEDC Dubai Conference and Exhibition and the Global Scientific Dental Alliance said, “We are indeed delighted to witness the successful completion of yet another edition of AEEDC Dubai conference and exhibition, which has reached many milestones over the past few years and achieved a remarkable participation this year as well from renowned dentists, specialists, and speakers from all over the world.”
Dr. Al Madani added: “On this occasion, I am happy to announce that AEEDC Dubai 2019 surpassed our expectations and completed business deals worth 3.1b dollars and this is largely due to the continuous growth of healthcare infrastructure in the GCC region, massive investments in the regional healthcare sector and quick access to advanced medical technologies. Also, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our esteemed guests, speakers, partners, exhibitors, visitors, and the 1,500 ambassadors of AEEDC Dubai from the region and the world who are supporting AEEDC Dubai to rank first by 2020 as the world's largest dental conference and exhibition."
While speaking about his participation and key highlights of the conference program, Dr. Mohamed Sherine Elattar, Professor of Prosthodontics, Alexandria University, Egypt said, “It really feels great to be a part of AEEDC Dubai, which has truly established itself as the ultimate dental event in the region since its inception. AEEDC Dubai featured a number of key discussions on a wide range of topics in dentistry such as Digital Dentistry Forum, Endodontics, Implantology, Pediatric Specialty Forum, GCC Preventive Session, Prosthodontics and Elderly Dental Care among other topics. Considering that the dental industry is undergoing many rapid technological changes, my endeavor was to put the spotlight on the latest in ‘Prosthodontics’.”
He added, “In regards to the latest trends in the Prosthodontics industry, we believe scanning is steadily getting a lot of attention with the advent and growing usage of 3D technology for dental treatments. In addition, while Hollywood Smile Fashion is in vogue and more and more patients want to wear that perfect smile on their faces, as specialists it is mandatory to have an advance knowledge on this topic, before attempting to offer patients any such treatment modality. As technology is moving so fast and in many cases surpassing the dentist’s knowledge, it is important for dentists to raise their knowledge and keep up-to-date with the latest technologies.”
According to Gianpaolo Bruno, Trade Commissioner to the UAE, Oman and Pakistan, ITA: “Continuous research ensures the safety and quality of ‘Made in Italy’ brands, which is well known and appreciated in the global dental industry. At the Italian pavilion, many companies specialized in the design and manufacturing of technologically innovative materials for the most sensitive dental procedures showcased their dental technologies and services. Our participation in AEEDC Dubai comes at a time when in the first 10 months of 2018, Italian exports to the UAE showed a growth of almost 5% compared to 2017. With events like AEEDC, we can continue to sustain this impressive growth by bringing together Italian manufacturers and the regional dental industry to explore business opportunities.”
Meanwhile, AEEDC Dubai hosted the GCC Preventive Dentistry Session, that aims to encourage dental care among residents and populations in the GCC region while also raising awareness about the need to maintain a good dental hygiene, particularly among children. Experts highlighted that a strict oral hygiene routine and dental care regimen such as brushing twice a day and flossing teeth regularly will not only help in avoiding cavities, gum disease and enamel wear but also support prevention of tooth decay.
On the third day, AEEDC Dubai 2019 featured a key signing ceremony ‘Memorandum of Understanding & Barter Deal Agreement’ between INDEX Conferences and Exhibitions and Korean Dental Industry Association, in the presence of Eng. Anas Al Madani, Vice Chairman and Group CEO of INDEX Holding and Mr. Hoon Taek Lim, Chairman of Korean Dental Industry Association.
Technologies at AEEDC Dubai Exhibition 2019
Seamless integration of new technologies into modern dentistry practice is increasingly becoming a norm and an everyday fact of life in the dental industry. With so many advancements taking place in dentistry, AEEDC Dubai Exhibition this year featured breakthrough technologies that are revolutionizing the dental markets in the UAE and around the world.
New clinical products in dentistry are making the life of a patient less complicated and more productive. Soft Tissue trimmers are used to excise and contour soft gingival tissue which result in minimal bleeding unlike radiosurgery or electrosurgery, which poses a risk of over-heating the surgical site while also compromising the bone. As many general dental practitioners and experienced surgeons are seeking faster, simpler and efficient solution for implant dentistry procedures, the exhibition played host to new range of implant and oral surgery motors, which offer a perfect solution for precise and smooth placement of implants.
