The unique event included a panel of MEA leading dental academics and gathered for a two-day scientific consensus based on the Delphi method- ology of achieving unanimity. The research proved several interesting factors with a high- light on evidence suggesting that oscillating-rotating power brushes improve oral health by reducing plaque and gin- givitis in the short-term and long-term.

Dr. Kazi on the EPDC meeting, “Looking at the current dental challenges of our region, pediatric dentistry needs development and stimu- lation starting at university level. We are proud to be able to contribute through the support we offer yearly to the EPDC – a great initiative for the region.” Throughout the fourth quarter in 2015, Oral-B actively partici- pated in the Beirut Internation- al Dental Meeting organized by LDA in Lebanon with two lectures by current president of the LDA Prof. Carlos Khai- rallah ‘A Systematic Approach for Long Lasting Veneers’, Prof. Mounir Doumit ‘Panorama sur 25 ans de sante dentaire pub- lique au Liban’ and a workshop on prevention using power brushes by Professor Khaled Balto.

Dr. Kazi further comments “Prevention and an evidence based approach to dentistry is key for performing successful and long-term dentistry. It is al- ways better to keep your teeth than having them replaced. No matter how good any treat- ment is, it is never like your own teeth and a preventive ap- proach towards dentistry is the best way of keeping your own teeth in your mouth for as long as possible” December 11-14th was yet an- other milestone in the activi- ties of Oral-B in the region.
