By DTI JAKARTA, Indonesia/COLOGNE, Germany: Exclusively catering to the needs of the Indonesian dental industry and dental professionals, the country’s first comprehensive dental exhibition and congress will take place next year from 15 to 17 September at the Jakarta Con- vention Center. The event is being jointlyorganisedbytheIndonesian dental association (Persatuan Dok- ter Gigi Indonesia) and trade show organisers Koelnmesse and PT. Traya Eksibisi Internasional. It will be held in alternate years to the es- tablished IDEM Singapore, the lead- ing dental exhibition and confer- ence in the Asia-Pacific region. Alongside IDEM, the Indonesia Dental Exhibition and Conference will be positioned as a designated regional event, the organisers said in a press release. It will consist of a two-day scientific conference fea- turing localised educational con- tent and a three-day exhibition that will offer a platform for over 200 manufacturers to meet and do business in the emerging Indone- sian dental market, which is one of the fastest growing in Asia. “Although every edition of IDEM Singapore has enjoyed strong support from Indonesian dental professionals we have come to recognise that there is still unreal- ised potential in the Indonesian market. Its healthcare industry is expected to grow by up to 20 per cent yearly, which points to an emerging need for a platform for dental professionals to learn more about well-established and effective technologies, research and skills,” Koelnmesse Managing Director Mathias Kuepper re- marked. Commenting on the decision to stage the new dental event, Dr Farichah Hanum, president of the Indonesian dental association, said that, by collaborating with two established exhibition organ- isers, dentistry in the country will hopefully be taken to new heights. “Indonesia has over 27,000 den- tists nationwide, who face unique challenges in their daily practice,” Hanum said. The city of Jakarta— representing over 5,000 dentists alone—was chosen to host the event because it is the country’s central business and travel hub, he explained. More information about the exhibition and the scientific pro- gramme will soon be available at www.indonesiadentalexpo.com. 02 Dental Tribune Asia Pacific Edition | 11/2016 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, Germany Dr George Freedman, Esthetics, Canada Dr Howard Glazer, Cariology, USA Prof. Dr I.

DENTAL TRIBUNE The World’s Dental Newspaper · United Kingdom Edition First Indonesia Dental Exhibition and Congress to be held in 2017 By DTI IWATE, Japan: Aiming to evaluate the accuracy of digital impres- sions for use in implant place- ment, researchers from Iwate Medical University in Japan have compared optical impression scans from an intraoral scanner with conventional silicone im- pressions. The analysis showed that the distance error of the optical impressions was slightly greater that of the conventional method. For many dental practitioners, digital technology has become vital in daily practice. Others, however, still rely on conven- tional methods used in the pro- fession long before the intro- duction of digital alternatives. However, the question that arises in this connection is whether— apart from benefits such as being faster and often more conven- ient—digital methods are verifi- ably more accurate than tradi- tional techniques. Aiming to shed light on this issue, the Japanese researchers compared a virtual model created from a scan by an intraoral scan- ner to a working cast fabricated based on a conventional silicone impression technique. The evalu- ation was limited to the use of optical impressions for implant placement. For this purpose, the researchers placed two implant abutments (Nobel Biocare), one 5 mm and one 7 mm in height, in a master model. To evaluate the error of the intra-oral scanner, the master model was scanned ten times with the Lava Chairside Oral Scanner (Lava COS; 3M ESPE). To evaluate the error of conventional im- pressions, ten working casts were scanned with a computer numeri- cal control coordinate measuring machine (Zeiss). From comparison of the dis- tance between two ball abut- ments that were connected to the implants, the researchers found that the trueness of distance error was 64.5 µm for the scanner and 22.5 µm for the working casts, making the conventional im- pression more accurate than the scanner. For the 5 mm healing abut- ment, the mean angulation er- ror of the Lava COS was greater than that of the working cast, indicating significant differences in trueness and precision, the researchers wrote. However, this was not observed for the 7 mm abutment. As distance errors of the op- tical impression were slightly greater than that of the conven- tional impression, the researchers concluded that currently digital impressions are not equivalent replacements of conventional im- pressions for restorative proce- dures. However, they predicted that the development of informa- tion technology would most likely lead to improvement in the accu- racy of optical impressions in the near future. © Aleksandar Todorovic/Shutterstock.com ADA CERP is a service of the American Dental Association to assist dental professionals in identifying quality providersof continuing dental education.
