BIRMINGHAM, UK: Under new management and with more ex-hibitors than ever before, the BDIA Dental Showcase is set up for a new edition in Birmingham. The show, which will be held from 19-21 October in hall 3 of the Na-tional Exhibition Centre, is going to feature three days of innova-tion, learning and fun.

One of the new additions to this year’s show is the Dental Prac-tice of the Future, a special show-case featuring a purpose built dental surgery with state-of-the-art equipment provided by some of the leading providers in the business. The setting boasts a re-ception centre, a clinical surgery and a fully compliant, dedicated decontamination room and will provide attendees with the op-

portunity to experience the latest technology in dentistry within a practice setting. With seats for 150 people, the feature doubles up as a lecture theatre where presenta-tions from authorities within the profession will be held. These will include keynotes on the future of dentistry, demonstrations on how to handle medical emergencies, ergonomics, innovations in X-ray, 3-D printing or how to make the

right purchasing decisions. When not in use for planned lectures, the futuristic surgery will be open for attendees to walk through and explore. Visitors interested in the equipment will be able to head to the relevant stand to find out more.

Like in previous years, attend-ees will be able to learn about the latest products, clinical tech-

niques and practice-concepts at the KaVo Dental-sponsored Mini Lectures Theatre which will run through the three days of the event. Supported by a number of leading exhibitors, topics there range from digital treatment planning to how to incorporate periodontology in the practice and increase profits by saving taxes.

tunities will be available at the Dental Update Theatre which will be held from 10.30 p.m. to 4.14 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. At the CDO Zone, officials will be fur-ther available to answer ques-tions to some of the current is-sues in dentistry like dental con-tract reform or practice preven-tion schemes. The Chief Dental Officer England Sara Hurley and her team, for example, will be at-tending all three days of the Showcase to tackle any questions professionals may have regarding NHS dentistry.

Attendees will be able to gain CPD hours for every session they attend during the show, the or-ganiser said. Certificates are avail-able for download under the sec-tion “Conference Session” on the BDIA Dental Showcase website.

There will be also plenty to see at the trade exhibition this year. Over 240 manufacturers and dealers, including familiar and new corporate faces, are going to present their latest portfolios of dental products and services in hall 3/3A. Dental Tribune will again showcasing its complete portfolio of dental media includ-ing the recently launched preven-tion – international magazine for oral hygiene at booth E40. There, visitors will also find information about events like the roots sum-mit or educational offerings like the Dental Tribune Study Club.

From a black tie dinner to a casino or a crazy golf course, there have been some amazing Bridge2Aid Bash events over the years. For Friday evening, Bridge2Aid has teamed up again with the BDIA and the companies A-dec and Henry Schein Dental for its biannual social hangout. A chance for both exhibitors and at-tendees of the Showcase to wind down after a couple of days at the show, meet with colleagues and network, the event is moving to the Vox Conference Centre, right next to the NEC, this year. Accord-ing to the organisers, the Bash is going retro with an ‘80s and ‘90s disco and prices will be awarded for the best fancy dress costume inspired by these two decades. At-tendees will also have the chance to test their skills and win prices for scoring top on full-sized retro arcade games, including such clas-sics like Space Invaders, Pacman, Pinball, Sega Giant Tetris and Sega Race TV. All profits from the

evening will go to Bridge2Aid and enable them to continue their work in East Africa of training ru-ral health workers in emergency dental care and preventative oral health education to treat their own communities. Admission for the event is £ 35 per person and can be booked either as individual tickets or in tables of eight to 12.

The BDIA Dental Showcase is one of the oldest and most pres-tigious dental events in the UK.

Last year it was acquired by the Mark Allen Group for an undis-closed sum with the BDIA licens-ing its name for an initial period of another five years. More infor-mation are available at www.den-talshowcase.com. To attend the BDIA Dental Showcase is free.

Dentists want the convenience of

one curing light for all situations,

but often the specifications of the

devices restrict their use to cam-

phorquinone-based materials. Of-

tentimes, the size of these devices

also makes them uncomfortable to

use for certain indications. But

what if dentists could pick up a cur-

ing light knowing

it will properly

cure whatever material they

are using or they could cure close to

the pulp, confident that there is no

risk of harm? What if the light could

also help them to visualise bacte-

rial activity in plaque and infected

dentin, micro-leakage and old fluo-

rescent restorations? What if the

light was so small that it could be

handled like a hand instrument?

The “what ifs” are now reality with the all-new D-Light Pro from GC. This high-powered, dual-wave-length LED curing light offers effi-cient curing but that is just the be-ginning. D-Light Pro cures, pro-tects and detects. On top of that it’s as thin as a pen, and so light that clincians can hold it and ma-nipulate it the way you would a hand instrument.

D-Light Pro offers two curing modes (High Power & Low

Power) with 20-second cy-cles, both guarantee-

ing an efficient polymerisa-

tion of

all light-cured dental materi-als. This is achieved by using two

LEDs with different peak wave-lengths (400–405 nm and 460–465 nm), resulting in a wide spec-trum and the ability to cure all materials regardless of the pho-to-initiator used in their formula-tion.

While the High Power mode offers the highest curing effi-ciency with an output of 1400 mW/cm2, the Low Power mode at 700 mW/cm2 enables to limit heat generation, for instance to cure adhesives and composites in deep cavities where the preparation comes close to the pulp.

D-Light Pro has a unique De-tection mode that uses near-UV violet light to help visualising what is often invisible to the na-ked eye: old fluorescent restora-tions, bacterial activity in plaque, fissures and infected dentin or mi-

cro-leakage at restoration mar-gins. D-Light Pro is also

a great tool to support a minimally invasive

approach in many situ-ations. Consider for in-

stance how it takes the guess-work out of cleaning fissures

prior to sealing: the violet light will confirm instantly whether this step has been completed cor-rectly. And consider how helpful it is that the light clearly distin-

guishes between tooth structure and fluorescent restorative mate-rials. It allows the dentist to re-move only what needs to be, like old restorations or excess cement, for example after the removal of orthodontic brackets.

At just 95 grams and unusu-ally thin for a curing light, D-Light Pro offers unsurpassed handling for the dentist and comfort for the patient. Its small size and er-gonomic design offer easy access in both anterior and posterior ar-eas, with a manipulation similar to that of a hand instrument. A well-collimated beam also en-sures that polymerisation will be efficient even when it is not pos-sible to place the light in ideal proximity to the material being cured.

The D-Light Pro kit contains two batteries which can be swapped easily in just a few sec-onds thanks to an easy plug-in/plug-out system making it possi-ble to always have one battery in use and one charging. When the

light is not in use, both batteries can be charged at the same time.

GC has also thought about sterilisation, and so the D-Light Pro is the first curing light that can be fully autoclaved once its elec-tronic module & battery have been removed, which takes no more than a second.

To have a demonstration of

D-Light Pro visit booth J10. More information is also available at www.gceurope.com.

ADThe fifth generation of VITA Easys-

hade stands for more than just a us-

er-friendly spectrophotometer for

the objective determination of

tooth shade. It is a complete, multi-

functional system that supports

dentists and dental technicians

from the determination and com-

munication of the tooth shade

through to reproduction and shade

controlling of the finished ceramic

dental restoration.

The VITA Easyshade offers a multitude of applications, which

was made possible by an expert team of scientific developers and software designers. It is suitable for documenting actual and target tooth shade for professional tooth bleaching and supports, for exam-ple, the precise selection of CAD/CAM and filling materials, as well as the planning of aesthetic cor-rections with veneers. It also ena-bles shade controlling of layered restorations after the first firing and, if required, provides instruc-tions for optimization measures

for achieving the tar-get tooth shade.

This fifth genera-tion device is presented

in a new, maximally ergonomic design. The user-oriented op-

erating concept has been revolutionized by a brilliant multi-touch

colour OLED display, and thanks to an efficient micro-processor and accutouch

technology, the tool now

works even faster, even in continu-ous operation. Precise measure-ment results are provided for by the neural network VITA vBrain, among other elements. Basic tooth shade or the shade gradient from incisal to cervical is dis-played in the standard shade sys-tems VITA classical A1-D4 and VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER. The multi-function device also indi-cates the appropriate VITA BLOCS and calculates the bleach shades according to the American Dental Association. Systematic transmis-sion of the shade information combined with patient photos from the dental practice to the dental laboratory is made possible by the Microsoft Windows-based software VITA Assist and the smart phone application VITA mobileAs-sist.

The fifth generation of the VITA Easyshade delivers exclusive solutions and leaves no questions unanswered: With greater perfor-mance, greater precision, more applications and more software, it is the best digital tooth shade de-termination and communication device on the market. For detailed information visit booth F5 or go to www.vita-zahnfabrik.com.

BDIA Showcase marks the an-

nouncement of three important

milestones for Philips Oral Health-

care and the company is inviting

dental professionals to find out

why black, white and silver are the

colours this season.

In addition to a plethora of on stand activity the company is fielding two expert speakers to lec-ture during the event in the Dental Update Theatre. Dr Ben Atkins will be presenting “The Evolution of Oral Healthcare” on Friday, 20 Oc-tober between 15:30 and 16:15. At-kins is a Trustee of the Oral Health Foundation and runs the out of hours dental service for Cheshire. He is also responsible for the treat-ment of the homeless in Manches-ter and works as an advisor to the BDA. Generally, he is an advocate for harnessing dental technology to encourage patient compliance.

Meanwhile Dental Hygienist and Therapist Megan Fairhall, who has developed her own brand #LiveToSmile, will be explaining how to harness social media in her lecture entitled “Let’s Be Social” on Saturday 21 October from 15:30 - 16:15. Megan utilises social media and networking to increase pa-tient leads and revenue, and will be letting delegates into her se-crets to success. Afterwards both speakers will be available on the Philips stand to answer questions.

Shedding light on chairside whitening

The company will also feature live Philips Zoom! Chairside whit-ening demonstrations, conducted by some of Philips’ expert Key Opinion Leaders who will also be shedding light on a new Zoom! Chairside clinical study. For the first time the company will be showing how a Dentist and Hy-gienist/Therapist can work effec-tively in tandem to provide tooth whitening. To exemplify this Dr Andy Wallace will present and three Hygienists/Therapists will demonstrate on each day of the show; Pat Popat, Megan Fairhall and Christina Chatfield respec-tively. CPD certification will be available to all delegates attend -

ing “Philips’ Zoom!” lectures and demonstrations.

Also on the stand will be a se-ries of brushing booths to allow delegates to trial the new digital innovation, the Philips Sonicare

DiamondClean Smart, first-hand. Everyone who trials the new pre-mium app-connected brush at the show will then be able to buy the product and take advantage of a show voucher, and a substantial discount off the retail price.

To find out what the new black, white and silver announ-cements relate to, please visit stand M40.

For those not at-tending the show, more information about the Philips Oral Healthcare portfolio can be found on www.philips.co.uk/dental-professional.
