The dental industry remains steadfast<br />
on its path to greater development<br />
and advancement. In this issue, we<br />
have prepared articles showcasing the<br />
community’s embracing of progress and<br />
advancement, through the relentless<br />
efforts of the practitioners adopting<br />
digital technology and streamlining their<br />
workflows.<br />
Speaking to <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>Asia</strong>, Dr Yu Na,<br />
Singapore’s first dental clinician to<br />
receive the National Medical Research<br />
Council’s Clinician Scientist Award in<br />
the Investigator Category, talks about<br />
her personal experiences and recent<br />
achievements in research, showcasing the<br />
fine footwork that goes into threading the<br />
tightrope between practice and academia.<br />
On the other hand, the adoption of<br />
digitalisation continues to be relevant to<br />
the dental community. On page 31, Vida<br />
Lau, commercial director of South East<br />
<strong>Asia</strong> at Straumann Group, stresses the<br />
importance of adopting digital workflows<br />
that can simplify complex treatment<br />
processes, benefitting both dentist and<br />
patient: “Ultimately, clinics that excel<br />
at digitalisation will gain considerable<br />
advantages in terms of outcome quality,<br />
as well as cost and time savings.”<br />
Likewise, further research in the<br />
community has also fuelled a new<br />
direction in dentistry. In a paper by Dr Kevin<br />
Ng and Dato’ Dr How Kim Chuan, it was<br />
demonstrated “that intraoral PBM could<br />
be used to decrease alignment treatment<br />
time and pain/discomfort, as well as<br />
encourage bone formation, promoting<br />
bone healings and osseointegration of<br />
dental implants” (pp.43).<br />
As we continue to usher in the first quarter<br />
of the year, <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>Asia</strong> is also proud<br />
to present a fresh new layout befitting<br />
its commitment to deliver the latest<br />
trends and developments in dentistry.<br />
We hope that this fresh start will deliver<br />
to you, our readers, fresh ideas and<br />
novel perspectives, and serve the wider<br />
community for the better.<br />
