VIENNA, Austria: On 13 and 14 No- vember, Ivoclar Vivadent hosted the Competence in Esthetic (CIE) symposium, an annual interna- tionaleventfordentistsanddental technicians that focuses on dental aesthetic solutions, including digi- tal smile design, CAD/CAM den- tistry and implant therapies. Over 1,650 participants attended the symposium, where a considerable number of distinguished interna- tional speakers updated attendees on the latest developments in den- tal aesthetics. Attendees also had the opportunity to earn 16 contin- uing education credits. According to the company, the symposiumaimedtoprovidefirst- hand expert knowledge of every- day clinical and laboratory prac- tice. The symposium programme was enhanced by various work- shops and live demonstrations of Ivoclar Vivadent products. Martina Jakob, Head of Market- ing for Austria and Eastern Europe; Gernot Schuller, Managing Direc- tor for Austria and Eastern Europe, and Armin Ospelt, Head of Global Marketing, opened the symposium on Friday morning. Jakob partic- ularly spoke about the recently opened International Center for Dental Education (ICDE) in Vienna, which offers state-of-the-art edu- cation facilities. Ivoclar Vivadent’s perpetual suc- cess can, in particular, be attributed to their continuous product and service innovations, which meet actual demand. Therefore, it is not surprising that, even at a regional event such as the CIE that focuses on Austria and Eastern Europe, the company presented various new products. Among these product in- novations were the IPS-style metal- ceramic material, which promises greater efficiency thanks to opti- mised shrinkage behaviour and aesthetics through brighter colours because of the integration of oxyapatite crystals. In addition, the IPS e.max CAD portfolio was also extended. Furthermore, the new MT blocks with medium translu- cencyaresuitablecasesthatrequire enhanced brightness and the IPS e.max blocks with low translucency are now also available in size A14.

According to the manu- facturer, dental technicians will only need one assortment for the individualised characterisation of laboratory-fabricated restorations.

Anothertopicthatwasdiscussed atthesymposiumwas“digitalden- tures”, which Ivoclar Vivadent pre- sented in anticipation of this year’s International Show. The compa- ny demonstrated that significant progress has been made in this area. The increasing digitisation of diagnostics, design and construc- tion of dentures, as well as large automated databases for dental geometries have facilitated the manufacturing of aesthetically appealing CAD/CAD prostheses. By DTI BARCELONA,Spain/BAR LEV INDUS- TRIAL PARK, Israel: In anticipation of its global conference, to be held from 26 to 29 May 2016 in Barcelona in Spain, dental im- plantsmanufacturerMISImplants Technologies has announced an opportunity for young clinicians to present clinical cases and tech- niquesfocusingonchallengingsit- uations in implantology. The best cases submitted will be presented on the first day of the conference. Clinicians up to the age of 40 may submit their case docu- mentation in English via e-mail by 15 February 2016. All submitted cases will be reviewed and pre- approved by the conference scien- tific committee and the best case presentations will be awarded. The first-prize winner will be invited to a course by implant spe- cialist Dr Eric Van Dooren, includ- ing flights and accommodation. The second-prize winner will be invited to a course by Prof. Stefen Koubi (who lectures internation- ally on the topics of aesthetic dentistry, smile design, and wear and erosion), including flights and accommodation. The third-prize winner will be invited to a course at the MIS head- quarters, including flights and ac- commodation, or will receive MIS products worth US$1,000 (€920). The 2016 MIS Global Conference, subtitled 360° Implantology, aims toexpandknowledgeandintroduce true innovation under the theme of “VCONCEPT: Set the volume of bone and soft tissue”, and will in- clude lectures, clinical case presen- tationsandhands-onworkshops. Experienced professionals will explore the VCONCEPT by provid- ing a broad background on the current evidence-based therapeu- tic trends in implant dentistry and presenting the latest treatment modalities that fulfil MIS’s philos- ophy of “Make it Simple”, particu- larly the V3 implant system. MIS Global Conference: Company calls for clinical case submission By DTI HELSINKI, Finland: The Planmeca FIT system for chairside CAD/CAM dentistry provides clinics with a completely digital workflow from start to finish. It seamlessly in- tegrates intra-oral scanning, 3-D designing and on-site milling in- to one system. Scanning within Planmeca FIT is now faster than ever before, and colour scanning is featured for the first time. The Planmeca FIT system is all about integrated efficiency. Con- sisting of the Planmeca PlanScan scanner, Planmeca PlanCAD Easy softwareandPlanmecaPlanMill40 milling unit, it allows clinics to produce perfectly fitting restora- tions in a single visit. The system has made great strides lately in both scanning speed and accuracy—intra-oral scans can now be performed with unprecedented quickness. Colour scanningtoohasbeennewlyintro- duced, enhancing diagnostics and making differentiating between soft and hard tissue easier. Colour scans also improve communica- tion and increase case acceptance, as they are easier for patients to comprehend. Planmeca FIT workflow steps are easily controlled through the Plan- meca Romexis software platform. Treatment data is immediately viewableonall workstations, and the soft- ware’s flexible licensing allows scanning, designing and milling to take place simultaneously. In addition, im- ages and data can be sent from clinics to dental laboratories and other external partners. The Planmeca Romexis Clinic Management module provides remote real-time usage informa- tion on Planmeca PlanMill 40, en- abling clinics to locate resources and monitor ongoing milling processes. Planmeca FIT is a completely in- tegrated approach to high-quality dental care. It helps clinics utilise their resources to the full and treat more patients in less time. Instead of two appointments, patients can be treated in one visit—with- out temporary crowns or physical dental models.
