Unlike other estab- lished dental shows in the region, IDEC offers visitors more than an opportunity to update their knowl- edge on the latest products and technologies—it showcases the fu- ture possibilities of the oral care in- dustry. Owing to the country’s eco- nomic development and increasing awareness of the importance of den- reality—there comes a multitude of business possibilities (Read more about this on page 3). Consequently, IDEC has been anticipated with great interest from international dental companies and local distributors alike. With the three-day industry exhibition—de- signed to exclusively cater to the needs of the Indonesian dental mar- ket—the organisers are seeking to herald a new era for the local dental industry. Opening hours for the trade show are from 9.00 to 19.00 on Friday and Saturday and from 9.00 to 18.00 on Sunday. Complementing the industry exhibition is a scientific programme that features well-known local ex- perts in practice, education and re- search. In lectures and a series of hands-on workshops, attendees have the opportunity to update their knowledge in various fields and topics to equip them for the fu- ture of dentistry. Courses and work- shops run from 8.30 to 17.00 on Fri- day and 8.30 to 16.30 on Saturday and Sunday.

And with this development—already a Setting a new bar for dental services in Indonesia A welcome message from the Indonesian dental association n The Indonesian dental association (Persatuan Dokter Gigi Indonesia) is the only professional organisation for dentists across Indonesia. The or- ganisation was established in Band- ung in West Java in 1950 and is headquartered in Jakarta, the capi- tal of the Republic of Indonesia. Its 27,000 member dentists fall under 19 regional boards at the provincial level and 248 branches at the dis- trict/city level. The development of dentistry and dental equipment internation- ally has accelerated rapidly lately. Manufacturers of dental equipment are competing to offer products and services that will help dentists pro- vide the best services and care to pa- tients. Keeping up with these changes can prove to be challenging to dental practitioners across Indonesia. To date, Indonesia has never had a special platform for manufacturers of dental equipment and materials to showcase their best products and ser- vices. The Indonesia Dental Exhibition and Conference (IDEC) aims to fill this gap and become the premier platform for Indonesian dental professionals to discover the latest in dental equip- ment and materials and absorb new information and trends to better their dental practices. To this end, the exhi- bition has confirmed attendance by over 130 exhibitors from Indonesia and overseas. Five national pavilions, from Germany, Switzerland, South Ko- rea, Italy and China, are also partici- pating in the inaugural edition of IDEC, from 15 to 17 September. IDEC is planned to be a forum for intra-professional collaboration be- tween Indonesian dental health prac- titioners, including dentists, dental nurses and dental technicians. It will create a meeting point for dental pro- fessionals in Indonesia to come to- gether and master their craft with the aim of providing improved services to the larger Indonesian community. For the 2017 event, with the theme of “Modern science and technology for the future of Indonesian dentistry”, attendees can look forward to enlight- ening conference sessions and limited- attendance hands-on work- shops that focus on the needs of the Indonesian dental professional to help set a new bar for dental ser- vices in Indonesia. 5Mathias Kuepper, Managing Director of Koelnmesse, Dr Sri Hananto Seno, president of the Indonesian dental association, Dr Diono Susilo, chairperson of the IDEC 2017 organising committee, and Bambang Setiawan, Pres- ident Director of Traya Events.
