CREDITS33 ByDentalTribuneInternational A HUNGALLA & KOSGO- DA, Sri Lanka: Recently, KaVo Dental, an interna- tional manufacturer of dental instruments, equipment and im- aging technology, donated one of its dental treatment units to a development aid project in Sri Lanka. Through the donation, people living in the UNESCO vil- lage south-west of Sri Lanka will have access to dental treatment in the future. ByDentalTribuneInternational B REMEN/COLOGNE, Germany: BEGO, a Ger- man-based provider of dental equipment and materials, has announced the launch of the “Building the Future for 125 Years—Happy Birthday BEGO!” campaign in celebration of its 125th anniversary. To kick off a year of celebrations, the com- pany will unveil its new 3-D printer, Varseo, at the upcoming International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne. “2015 is set to be a very special year and we want to celebrate this with our customers, part- ners and staff,” stated Christoph Weiss, Managing Partner of BEGO. “At the IDS we want to demonstrate once again that we are rightly regarded as pioneers in the dental world.” In Cologne, the company will be introducing its latest self- developed 3-D printing system to the public. Varseo is opti- mised for dental applications and allows for the production of a wide range of plastic items in the laboratory. In addition to the printer, associated materials, software tools and services, such as splints, surgical guides, CAD/ Cast partial denture frames and customised impression trays, will be on display. BEGO was founded in 1890 by Dr William Herbst in Bremen. Today, the family-run company has an international workforce of approximately 450 in its BEGO Dental, BEGO Medical and BEGO Implant Systems di- visions. On 26 December 2004, large parts of Indonesia were struck by an Indian Ocean earthquake that resulted in a tsunami. The plight of the affected countries, including Sri Lanka, India, Thai- land and Somalia, prompted a worldwide humanitarian response. Ahungalla and Kos- goda, two communities in the south-west of Sri Lanka, were very hard hit: 200 people lost their lives and about 400 houses were destroyed. Shortly after the catastrophe, German charity or- ganisation Future for Children helped build a UNESCO village within a few months. KaVo has now donated a den- tal treatment unit to the village, where 54 families live. The sec- ond-hand ESTETICA Comfort 1065 unit was completely refur- bished by the company’s service team. In December 2014, monk Wimaladhamma Tissa Nayaka from the UNESCO village and Elfride Süß, the contact person for Future for Children in Sri KaVo donates dental treatment unit to UNESCO village in Sri Lanka BEGO celebrates 125th anniversary Lanka, visited KaVo’s production site in Germany to receive the donation. The unit will be installed shortly by KaVo’s distributor Pluradent.
