The IDS is a great place for companies as ClaroNav to demonstrate its innovative power. People showed great interest in new technology and we received a high number of particularly qualified trade visitors. We experienced a high level of internationality and decision-making competence. This proves the growing interest in dynamic navigation and its benefits. _Let’s have an outlook into the future: Which trendsdoyouseeinthefieldofimplantology? Theoveralldemandforimplantologyisprojected to increase by 10 per cent for the next years, due to lifestyle influences and higher life expectancy. To handle the growing number of patients, clinicians need a solution that increases operational effi- ciency in their practice or hospital, which supports team collaboration and improves patient care. Referring to implant navigation, the use of sur- gical templates often only complicates the work- flowbecauseitincreasesthecomplexityandthedu- rationoftheimplantationprocedure. Cliniciansend up investing in expensive technology and not inte- grating it completely because of problems in work- flow and accuracy or because of clinical issues. LookingbackattheIDS,it’sunbe- lievable so many different vendors areofferingsomanydifferentprod- ucts for treating just one small part of the human body. The industry is dynamic, and successful innova- tions addressing the clinicians‘ needs have the potential to become standard of care.
