Tuesday’s IDS press conference confirmed once more that this is the only way to establish a future-proof practice and laboratory structure. It also provided an overview of present market developments, including a strategic outlook on current and future trends in dentistry. According to Stanley M. Berg- man, Chairman of the Board and CEO, Henry Schein, the truly relevant question to ask in this context is, why not? After all, this is what was in the minds of Esther and Henry Schein when they founded their company to occupy a key position between the current health market and the idealised vision they sought to create. Now, the time has come for practices and labora- tories to demonstrate similar courage and to view digitaliza- tion as a real opportunity. Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Henry Schein, provided information on Henry Schein’s history and future development.

Both concepts are en- tirely structured to deliver ef- ficiency and profitability, and are therefore trendsetting tools in the hands of practices and laboratories. The ConnectDen- tal workflow brings together the various digital system com- ponents to produce an open so- lution, covering 3-D diagnosis, digital impressions, implant planning and model production using 3-D printers, while also incorporating design and manu- facture for restorative surgery using grinding and milling ma- chines. Andreas Meldau, President, European Dental Group, Hen- ry Schein, and Managing Di- rector, Henry Schein Dental Deutschland, emphasised the absolute prioritisation of con- tinuous development for the efficient treatment of patients. “360°— digitale Zahntechnik gestalten [shaping digital den- tal technology]”— this theme describes a first-of-a-kind event scheduled for June that is in- tended to offer laboratory own- ers and management, as well as their customers, a 360° view of the systems, components and materials that are part of the digital workflow. The event will place particular importance on providing a variety of perspec- tives: digital solutions according to practices, the dental laborato- ry perspective and the academic viewpoint. The two-day event presented by Henry Schein will feature speakers from the world of science, practices, laborato- ries and industry, who will share information on the opportunities and limits of digital manufactur- ing technologies. Attendees of the IDS are invited to pencil in the 360° congress scheduled for June. Henry Schein, one of the world’s leading providers of products and services for doctors, dentists and veterinarians is at the van- guard of progress in the estab- lishment of new concepts in the health care sector.
