Two years on, COVID-19 has left an indelible<br />
mark on the dental community, compelling<br />
both practice and laboratory to change their<br />
operations. As the world assimilates these<br />
monumental changes, let us take stock of<br />
key moments that will remain vital to the<br />
industry moving forward.<br />
At exocad, collaboration and communication<br />
form the cornerstone of the company’s<br />
strategy and operations, allowing them to<br />
cope even in these difficult times. We spoke<br />
with Christine Amber McClymont, global<br />
head of marketing and communications<br />
for exocad, who attributed the firm’s<br />
success to its leadership and belief in flat<br />
hierarchies, new and creative approaches<br />
and embracement of new ideas (pp. 26).<br />
Meanwhile, photobiomodulation<br />
(PBM) continues to lay new ground for<br />
implantology. In a demonstration with an<br />
intraoral PBM device, Dr Alan Kwong Hing<br />
DDS and Dr Alpdogan Kantarci DDS, PhD,<br />
claimed the technology “results in greater<br />
patient satisfaction with less pain, swelling<br />
and discomfort”, with the device delivering<br />
enhanced productivity for the practice<br />
(pp. 36).<br />
Lastly, Dr Tom Shannon demonstrates<br />
the process of a phased, hybrid<br />
orthodontic treatment with the<br />
transition from fixed appliances to<br />
clear aligners, alongside the benefits<br />
of 3D printing in modern orthodontics.<br />
The use of the latest technology not<br />
only prompted patient interest but also<br />
enhanced the efficacy and affordability<br />
of patient treatment (pp. 50).<br />
As the dental industry heads into<br />
greater mobility with the easing of<br />
pandemic restrictions in parts of the<br />
world, let <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>Asia</strong> deliver stories<br />
that facilitate a renewed understanding<br />
of dental practices in this new normal.<br />
