EDITOR’S NOTE<br />

The success of the recently concluded<br />
International <strong>Dental</strong> Exhibition and Meeting<br />
(IDEM) signals that the dental field is on<br />
its way to pre-pandemic normalcy (p.64).<br />
Our team is ecstatic to be part of this event<br />
and interact with exhibitors from different<br />
parts of the world showcasing their<br />
product portfolios.<br />
It was a great and truly memorable<br />
experience to meet colleagues in person<br />
after a long time. In fact, we had an<br />
opportunity to speak with Kelvin Liang,<br />
sales area manager of Mectron in APAC,<br />
to discuss their latest product launches<br />
and strategies specific to the APAC<br />
market as what he described as “very<br />
versatile” (p.24).<br />
We also met Emiliano Bini, regional<br />
business manager of VITA, Australasia,<br />
to learn more about how VITA Zahnfabrik<br />
remained at the forefront of progress for<br />
laboratory and practice since 1924, and<br />
what more can the dental professionals<br />
anticipate from the company in the next<br />
five to 10 years (p.26).<br />
And, of course, we did not miss the<br />
opportunity to meet Dr Lawrence Yong,<br />
president of the Singapore <strong>Dental</strong><br />
Association, to ask about his takeaways<br />
from the pandemic, his thoughts on today’s<br />
dental landscape, and what he thinks the<br />
future holds for the industry (p.20).<br />
Moreover, we witnessed the latest<br />
innovations launched at IDEM — such<br />
as the TRIOS 5 intraoral scanner from<br />
3Shape, featuring a compact body<br />
redesigned for ergonomics, effortless<br />
scanning, and improved hygiene (p.52); as<br />
well as dental scanning spray for digital<br />
production from Scantist 3D that forms a<br />
fine, homogeneous matte coating on shiny,<br />
reflective dental objects (p.48).<br />
Though the road to recovery was bumpy,<br />
the industry embodied resilience and<br />
proved its commitment to uplifting patient<br />
experience. Indeed, dental professionals<br />
can look forward to faster, more efficient<br />
workflows in the future that will redefine the<br />
standard of today’s dental care.<br />
