First Words<br />
Momentum builds success<br />
The evolving variants of the COVID-19 virus<br />
have continued to affect healthcare systems<br />
worldwide. As if in a race, the vaccination<br />
drive and virus mutation are moving headto-head.<br />
Thus, policies are constantly<br />
changing, and strict border controls are still<br />
enforced.<br />
For the dental industry, however, there is no<br />
slowing down. In fact, the 39 th International<br />
<strong>Dental</strong> Show (IDS) will open its door in<br />
Cologne, Germany, from 22 to 25 <strong>September</strong><br />
<strong>2021</strong>, where dental professionals and<br />
companies can network and have personal<br />
dialogues under the necessary measures<br />
deemed relevant by the responsible health<br />
authorities (p.70).<br />
In line with this, dental companies such as<br />
exocad are looking forward to the event. Mr<br />
Novica Savic, the company’s CCO, shares<br />
what visitors can expect at the exocad<br />
booth and other insights regarding their<br />
participation at the IDS <strong>2021</strong> (p.26).<br />
This issue also features Mr Stef Vanneste,<br />
vice-president and general manager of<br />
<strong>Dental</strong> at 3D Systems, giving light on how<br />
the company revolutionises the industry with<br />
their wide range of trusted and reliable digital<br />
solutions (p.30).<br />
Moving forward, dental professionals<br />
have also continued to demonstrate<br />
unwavering efforts in adapting to this<br />
challenging situation.<br />
For instance, Dr Zeeshan Sheikh, Dr<br />
Henriette Lerner, and Dr George Freedman<br />
tackle a practical approach of using<br />
an oral spray to create a barrier on the<br />
mucosa of the mouth and throat, and<br />
boost host protection (p.18).<br />
Dr Seojung Park, the executive director<br />
of the Orthodontic Branch at Korea<br />
Association of Digital Dentistry, shares her<br />
journey in digital orthodontics and how it<br />
became beneficial to her and her patients<br />
during this time (p.22).<br />
In the past year, the key players in the<br />
dental industry have shown resilience and<br />
solidarity. May we find inspiration from<br />
each other to move forward and face the<br />
future with optimism.<br />
