"Emirates Dental Society and CAPP are looking forward to welcoming you at the tallest hotel in the world for a wonderful weekend" 8TH CAD/CAM & DIGITAL DENTISTRY INT'L CONFERENCE, DUBAI, UAE, 02-03 MAY 2013 << FILLING, page 1 Press Release: Sirona – The Dental Company C ologne, Germany: The 35th In- ternational Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne closed with record visi- tor results on March 16, 2013 af- ter five days. Sirona reinforced its position as innovation leader with 25 new products and fascinated visitors with themed exhibit islands and design worlds at its large, mod- ern 1,000 square meter booth. Sirona's booth in hall 10.2 was once again a magnet for the public at IDS 2013. The 25 new products featured at the show on close to 1,000 square meters of exhibition space were completely surrounded by visitors from all over the world on all five days of the IDS. With the innovations, which give dentists and dental technicians an impor- tant competitive edge through improved work processes, a broader range of servic- es and time and cost savings, Sirona under- pinned its claim to technological and mar- ket leadership in the dental industry. "The enormous number of international vis- itors at our booth and the great interest in our 25 new products show that dentists and dental technicians consider Sirona the lead- er in the dental market and trust our brand," says Jeffrey T. Slovin, CEO of Sirona Dental Systems. "The company attributes its strong innovative capacity to its considerable in- vestment in research and development – 270 scientists and engineers were involved in the new and further development of the products and services, and around 1,400 em- ployees work at the largest production site in the dental industry in Bensheim, Germa- ny. The result was a dazzling array of inno- vations from all areas of dentistry, covering CAD/CAM and imaging systems, treatment centers, instruments and hygiene systems. In addition to the new products, system so- lutions were the main focus, which highlight the particular expertise of Sirona in combin- ing different digital technologies. At the three very well-frequented themed exhibit islands on system integration in implantology, end- odontics and orthodontics, visitors experi- enced the advantages of a complete digital workflow in the practice and lab, leading to more efficient work processes, time and cost savings, as well as better treatment results while providing more comfort and safety for the patient. The changing design worlds used to present the treatments centers in a new way every day attracted particular atten- tion this year. Jeffry T. Slovin: "Our success at the IDS 2013 is a confirmation of the dedi- cation and hard work of our 3.000 employees A record IDS: Sirona scores with 25 innovations and integrated system solutions Surrounded by visitors on all five days of the trade show: The Sirona stand at IDS 2013sirona.com C-529-01-7600-V0 CEREC OMNICAM THE EVOLUTION OF SIMPLICITY The new CEREC Omnicam combines powder-free ease of handling and natural color reproduction to provide an inspiring treatment experience.
