This unique combination in MI Varnish offers the much needed protection to patients of all age groups, all caries profiles to effectively relieve them from hypersensitive teeth.

What is your impression of the dental scene in the Mid- dle East region? How has it evolved over the last 2 years? During the last 2 years, the So- ciety supported successfully and effectively various community services and campaigns in the various regions of the Kingdom to promote health care aware- ness and education. The Aware- ness Day in Shrooq Almarefah Private Elementary School, Awareness Campaign for Spe- cial Needs Center, Yslam Famak Campaign to Raise Awareness for Cancer Damage, Children’s Charity Committee for Orphans Care, Awareness Campaign in AlNoor Institute for the Blind, Awareness Day in Abdullah bin Masood Elementary School, Education Day in Al-Ghat, Cam- paign Smoke-Free Mecca and participation in the Activities of the General World Children’s Day are just a few of those ac- complishments. This is a clear manifest that SDS fulfills its ob- jectives not only to its members but to the whole community as well. How much impact has Digital Dentistry had in The Kingdom so far? The Digital Dentistry had been introduced many years back but only a few keen users have adopted it until recently when many more dentists had found it better and convenient to use. The dental community in the Kingdom has adopted to using these current digital techniques and workflows. They are now familiar to its learning experi- ence and the impact of the new technologies in the dental com- munity. What advice do you have for the younger generations? I am encouraging the younger generations to focus their pro- fessional ambitions by being committed to obtaining educa- tional advancement to ensure their success and not to forget to share their services to the com- munity. Is there anything else you would like to share with the readers? I am urging everyone to contin- ue to contribute in terms of sup- port, services and goodwill for a better community. reach proximal areas, while cov- ering all tooth surfaces evenly and effectively.
