Dentists are eager to test our technolo- gies and we may increase the number of trainings in the UAE Office and around the ME-A Region. Regarding the train- ing center, thanks to the grow- ing number of top products in the FKG Dentaire range, along with partnerships with other companies we plan to also di- versify the subjects. This might be linked with the organization of trainings with partners man- aging high level Continuous Education Programs. Depend- ing of your level, your points of interests or the skills you want to improve you will have a portfolio of dates and subjects to choose in. Following the suc- cess of the last months we also plan to increase the size of the FKG UAE training center to an- swer to the demand. The FKG Dentaire ME-A team is growing and we plan to focus on emerging markets where FKG has had a very small pres- ence until now but with high demand from dentists that have had the opportunity to try our range during international conferences or that could read evidence based articles about Race. FKG ME-A Division is currently opening Pakistan and now also in charge of India, a great and exciting new chal- lenge for us. On the product side, 2013 has been a great year for FKG Dentaire and we are accelerating in 2014 and 2015. We have developed a new gen- eration of Endo Motor called Rooter together with dentists, Endodontists and a French partner. These motors are the first wireless motors to come with a detachable and steriliz- able LED Light. Rooter is ex- tremely well balanced for the comfort of the Dentists and the programmable speed ranges from 250 to 1200 RPM to fit with all of rotary files needed by cli- nicians. Rooter should be avail- able in the coming weeks in our distribution network through- out the ME-A region. We are currently launching FKG Dentaire BT-Race (a new single use and sterile 3 files sequence with a revolutionary tip) and TotalFill BC Sealer, a user friendly Hydrophilic Bioc- eramic filler that has already a lot of articles stating its fantas- tic results. The TotalFill range is completed with TotalFill RRM putty (Bioceramic Root Repair Material). The FKG Dentaire team has been working hard on the dif- ferent states of the Nickel Ti- tanium, clinical tests results are beyond expectation so a lot of great things are ahead with the launch of a new product in the near future. It will be a new breakthrough in Endo. How does FKG separate itself from its competitors? The Swiss Venture Club award- ed FKG ‘Western Switzerland Company of the Year 2012’, a reward for the company’s dy- namism, high product quality, and its continuing innovation. Race files is a real revolution in the Endodontic world, these files are opposite to most of the products on the market and it does not screw thanks to an al- ternating cutting edge design. This allows the dentist to be more confident using a precise file he controls. It also features the SMD (SafetyMemoDisk), a patented daisy on all the in- struments which is the only user friendly system allowing the clinicians to know exactly how many times a file has been used and help to monitor the file stress to reduce risk of file separation. FKG Dentaire has developed a sequence of scouting files years before any company on the market, the ScoutRace 10.02 is still todays smallest rotary file and now a new generation of tips is available with six blades (Available on BT-Race). It is able to drill and follow the way in the canals without stress- ing the root unlike big tapered files. FKG Dentaire is not ruled and led by marketing and sales figures but by passion of preci- sion, quality and pride of happi- ness of dentists and patients. How important is Continual Medical Education for FKG and its clients? Continuous Education is a top priority for us, first proof is our Training Centers in UAE, Swit- zerland and Norway, the sec- ond is the organization of train- ings with CME providers such as CAPP and partnerships with private and public hospitals and clinics asking us to train their teams all throughout the year. We have also recently an- nounce the start a partnership with the Dental College in Leb- anon. Prof Roger Rebeiz and his team will use FKG Dentaire MEA Training Center in Dubai for its Educational Program. Where do you see FKG in a year from now? In the hands of all dentists and Endodontist wishing to share our vision of conservative and biological Endo. What are some of the regional events you are attending with FKG? In United Arab Emirates we are present in most of the impor- tant conferences in the region (Dental Facial Cosmetic Int’l Conference, AEEDC, APDC, and even the CAD/CAM & Digi- tal Dentistry Int’l Conference through our distributor Dubai Medical Equipment) and we have been really active at the Pan Arab Endo Conference in Lebanon this year bring- ing Dr. Gavin Williams, a very experienced South African Endodontist and Prof Roger Rebeiz, Lebanon who provide live retreatment with FKG Files D-Race and iRace. We are also represented in most of the con- gress and shows in the region with our distributors and part- ners. You are a member of MEMA As- sociation, can you tell us about it? MEMA (Middle East Managers Association) has been created few years ago in Lebanon. To- day it gathers over 70 Middle East Managers of Top Dental companies. The goal of this as- sociation is to grow the dental market through the network and expertise of this team of skilled professionals. I believe all Dental Industry Middle East Managers that are not already part of MEMA should join; it is a very respectful and friendly environment with great per- spectives.
