By DTI HONG KONG/LEIPZIG, Germany: The orthodontic segment has grown significantly within the past 20 years owing to new tech- nologies and products, as well as an increase in adult patients re- questing orthodontic treat- ment. In response to this trend and to update den- tists on the most significant developments in the field, Dental Tribune Interna- tional (DTI) has added ortho—international maga- zine of orthodontics to its portfolio. The 2016 issue includes articles on clear aligners, vibration therapy and rapid maxillary expan- sion, as well as the latest product information and event previews. The new high-gloss English-language magazine adopts an interdisciplinary approach involving ortho- dontics, oral surgery, perio- dontics and restorative dentistry, and aims to serve as an educa- tional tool, providing comprehen- sive knowledge and information on the newest technology that can profitably be integrated into treat- ment concepts. The publication, which will be distributed at all major international orthodontic congresses and exhibitions, pre- sents the latest research and case studies, as well as trends in pro- cedures and techniques. Inordertoconnectwithortho- dontic specialists, the DTI team is scheduled to attend a number of orthodontic events around the globe in 2016, including the 92nd Congress of the European Ortho- dontic Society, which will take place between 11 and 16 June in Stockholm in Sweden; and the fourth Scientific Congress for Aligner Orthodontics, to be held on 18 and 19 November in Cologne in Germany. DTI will be providing comprehensive live coverage of these and other events on its website. In addition, e-newsletters about the respective events will be sent to orthodontists worldwide. From 2017, a new issue of the ortho magazine will be published twice a year with a print run of 4,000 copies. An e-paper edition of the magazine is available free of charge via the DTI online print archive. 02 Dental Tribune Asia Pacific Edition | 6/2016 ASIA PACIFIC NEWS IMPRINT PUBLISHER: Torsten OEMUS GROUP EDITOR/MANAGING EDITOR DT AP & UK: Daniel ZIMMERMANN newsroom@dental-tribune.com CLINICAL EDITOR: Magda WOJTKIEWICZ ONLINE EDITOR: Claudia DUSCHEK EDITOR: Anne FAULMANN ASSISTENT EDITOR: Kristin HÜBNER COPY EDITORS: Sabrina RAAFF, Hans MOTSCHMANN PRESIDENT/CEO: Torsten OEMUS CFO/COO: Dan WUNDERLICH MEDIA SALES MANAGERS: Matthias DIESSNER Peter WITTECZEK Maria KAISER Melissa BROWN Weridiana MAGESWKI Hélène CARPENTIER Antje KAHNT INTERNATIONAL PR & PROJECT MANAGER: Marc CHALUPSKY MARKETING & SALES SERVICES: Nicole ANDRAE ACCOUNTING: Karen HAMATSCHEK BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT: Claudia SALWICZEK-MAJONEK EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Gernot MEYER AD PRODUCTION: Marius MEZGER DESIGNER: Franziska DACHSEL INTERNATIONAL EDITORIAL BOARD: Dr Nasser Barghi, Ceramics, USA Dr Karl Behr, Endodontics, Germanyw Dr George Freedman, Esthetics, Canada Dr Howard Glazer, Cariology, USA Prof. Dr I.

The faculty has thus relegated the Uni- versity of Michigan in the US to second place and sur- passed last year’s winner, Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm in Sweden, which came third in this year’s list. The Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Hong Kong was established in 1982 when most of the dentists practis- inginHongKongwerestilltrained overseas. Today, about two in three dentists practising in Hong Kong have been educated at the faculty. The school has become the sole educational centre for dentists in the region, offering un- dergraduate, research postgradu- ate, and taught postgraduate pro- grammes in dental specialties, such as dental public health, pae- diatric dentistry, periodontology, endodontics, orthodontics, pros- thodontics, as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery. Training courses in dental hy- giene are also provided at the associated teaching hospital. The faculty recently established Hong Kong’s first Infection Control Teaching Suite, which provides hands-on training for future den- tists and dental hygienists. Dean Prof. Thomas Frank Flemmig said that the fac- ulty is planning for signi- ficant growth in the up- coming years. “In order to address the shortage of den- tists in Hong Kong, we will take in more undergraduate students. There will be an approximate 40 per cent increase in the number of students admitted to the Bachelor of Dental Surgery program in the fall of this year.” The annual QS World Uni- versity Rankings highlight the world’s top universities in 42 subjects, based on aca- demic reputation, employer reputa- tion and research impact. The rank- ings aim to help prospective stu- dents identify the world’s leading schools in their chosen field, with the list of subjects extended each year in response to high demand for subject-level comparisons.
