from page one 3 Greater New York Dental Meeting — Nov. 29, 2016 some of the most recognized names in dentistry, such as Heraeus Kuzer, Bego, Hager and Meisinger, DMG Che- misch, Hoffmann Dental and VOCO). Visitorscantouraninteractive,futur- istic science lab on innovation and research featuring state-of-the-art products from many of the compa- nies. It’s the biggest single presence ever of the German dental industry at a U.S. event. Also commanding a large chunk of real estate on the exhibit floor is the Korea Pavilion, spanning a stretch of the 5000 and 5100 aisles with more than a dozen companies represented. A number of educational sessions presented in Korean also were added to this year’s meeting agenda in addi- tiontothesessionsbeingpresentedin Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Russian and French. Yet a third international pavilion can be found in the 5200 and 5300 aisle, where a dozen different com- panies have booths in the Pakistan Pavilion, and the majority of the com- panies are at the Greater New York Dental Meeting for the first time. In booth No. 5327, Naghman Iqbal, with Pak Surge, said the meeting had been successful for the 25-year old manu- facturer. He said the company had exhibited at many meetings in Ger- many, Korea, Poland and elsewhere but never in the United States until now, despite having a longstanding base of U.S. clients. The company manufacturers and sells a variety of dental instruments and specializes in forceps. With years of planning required to coordinate and develop an interna- tionalpavilion,it’slikelythattheunu- sual surge in international pavilions at this year’s meeting has more to do with coincidence than a strong dollar or other factors. And it remains, true, too, that most companies based out- side of the United States aren’t here as part of a coordinated pavilion effort. Among the many examples of that is Abōva Health in booth No. 940. The company is here from Italy with a product being introduced to the U.S. market: The Teethan dental contact digitalanalyzer,whichissonewhere, it’s still under review by the FDA and not yet available for sale. But the high-tech device is on dis- play in the booth, and Pietro Longo and Valeria Ferrari with Abōva can explain how the electromyography technology can analyze in minutes the activity of a patient’s masticatory muscles and generate an easy-to-read report. Scores of other countries can also be found represented throughout the aisles of the Greater New York Den- tal Meeting exhibit hall, and you have two more days of international exploration, with exhibits continuing through Wednesday.
