DENTAL UPDATES Align Technology promotes digital dentistry for interdisciplinary orthodontics Align Technology has reinforced its commitment to dental professionals in the region with its presence at the 16th Annual Conference of the Saudi Orthodontic Society (SOS) as a platinum sponsor of the event. The annual conference, which took place from 24-27 Feb 2022 in Riyadh, highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary orthodontics and brought together more than 500 individuals from the orthodontic industry including doctors, laboratory practitioners and industry partners. Over the course of the conference, a range of lectures, panel discussions and workshops also took place with a focus on topics that promote interdisciplinary orthodontics and interdisciplinary collaboration. Angelo Maura, general manager of Middle East and Africa at Align Technology, said, “The 16th SOS Annual Conference will serve as a much-needed platform for leveraging the digital technologies that will move us toward the future of dentistry, as well as foster more collaboration between the different specialties in the field.” Align Technology hosted two key events during the conference, focusing on driving interdisciplinary orthodontics through the use of digital technologies. One of these was a lecture by Dr Waddah Sabouni, an orthodontist specialist, discussing “Alternative Approaches to Orthognathic Surgery with Clear Aligners”. The lecture covered the management of orthognathic surgery cases within the Invisalign system, explaining different approaches to the timing of the surgery within orthodontic treatment. Additionally, Dr Sabouni shared his perspective on the differences, benefits and considerations between the alternative approaches. Another key event being hosted by Align Technology was a four-hourlong workshop, also by Dr Sabouni, on “Aligner Treatment: Possibilities and Considerations”. Taking place on 27 Feb, The workshop explored the broad aspects of the applicability of clear aligners within the orthodontic practice, including the scope of malocclusions that can be treated with aligners, as well as different interdisciplinary treatments such as cases with periodontal considerations, pre-prosthetic or pre-restorative treatments. ■ CAD-Ray announces new partnerships with DOF, MaxxDigm and Akuretta CAD-Ray has expanded its technology offerings following the partnerships with another three manufacturers that share their vision for innovative, user-friendly dental technology.
