MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA: For the latest dental care products, there was plenty to learn, see and do at the 39th annual Journées dentaires internationales du Québec (JDIQ). The exhibit hall floor was teeming with dental professionals seeking new and innovative materials. The goal was to seek out products to improve efficiency, make treatment easier and improve patient care.
Continuing education is vitally important to dental professionals, who continually strive to offer ever better care to their patients. That’s why events like the meting in Montreal are so valuable. The meeting offered dozens of educational opportunities.
From endodontics to dental implants, digital radiography to CAD/CAM technology, local anesthesia to the latest advances in cosmetic dentistry — no matter what area an attendee wanted to focus on there was a lecture, workshop or seminar at JDIQ to designed to help expand any knowledge base.
In addition to the many courses available, there were also a number of poster presentations, where dental students presented the results of their research.
Exhibit hall
More than 300 exhibiting companies participated in the meeting. Here is just a sampling of the many products that were available:
At the Medicom booth, two products made their Canadian debut: the Duraflor Halo and the SAFE-SEAL duet sterilization pouches. The Duraflor Halo, which was released in the United States about 18 months ago and just received its NHP certification, is a 5 percent sodium fluoride white varnish that offers the highest allowable fluoride concentration. The best part of it, though, according to Medicom Senior Brand Manager Elisabeth Masse, is that the fluoride goes on clear, leaving no visible traces that it was ever there.
As for the SAFE-SEAL duet, the self-sealing pouches come with two indicators that change color as the sterilization heat process occurs, offering proof that the product is working.
At the Vident booth, the focus was on the new RealLife block for highly esthetic anterior restorations. According to the company, the reproductions are identical to natural teeth, the software offers a lot of design flexibility and no additional characterization or individualization is required.
Lips Inc. offered a new approach to marketing. At the company’s booth, meeting attendees could choose lip balm in 30 different flavors, from peppermint and strawberry to the more exotic blueberry pomegranate and white cranberry. By adding a customized label to the lip balm, dentists can essentially make them a business card that patients can use on a daily basis.
Anyone who has ever had a sore back at the end of a workday could find comfort from the ergonomic experts at Posiflex, a company that was busy helping attendees with adjustable chairs that are designed to greatly reduce the physical stress associated with a long day of working on patients’ teeth.
For those mho might be too busy to send a broken handpiece out for repair, there was Turbine Expert and High Speed Service, a company that operates a mobile van that will bring certified experts directly to your practice to fix your broken handpiece on the spot. Talk about convenience!
The meeting was held 29 May to 1 June.
