DUBAI, UAE: For the 19th consecutive time, the UAE International Dental Conference and Arab Dental Exhibition (AEEDC) will open its doors this week to visitors from the Middle East region and beyond. The event is again held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Minister of Finance, President of the Dubai Health Authority in co-operation with the Dubai Health Authority and will take place at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from 17 to 19 February.

More than 30,000 dental professionals are expected to attend the event which will present the latest concepts and innovations in dentistry and oral health prevention.

The scientific programme will be bigger and more diverse than ever. According to Scientific chairman Dr Nasser Al Malik, visitors will have the opportunity to attend a record number of 116 lectures, specialty courses and workshops this year. More than 90 experts from the region and abroad have signed up to take part in the programme, which is held in conjunction with a number of other events including the International Symposium of Olympic and Sports Dentistry.

For the first time, AEEDC is also collaborating with the Arab Academy of Esthetic Dentistry to host the organisation’s third annual meeting in Dubai. This will see a series of specialised courses joined by some of the leading experts in aesthetic dentistry from around the world.

In response to the increasing number of French-speaking visitors from North Africa and Europe, French sessions have been added to this year’s offering as well. Under the name “Stomatologie aujourd hui” (Engl: Dentistry today), French speakers will present their latest research and clinical findings to dental professionals from the region.

“By delivering another outstanding event, AEEDC Dubai 2015 will again supersede its previous records and achievements,” commented AEEDC Executive Chairman Dr Abdul Salam Al Madani in the run-up to the event. “The conference programme was designed in such a way that it facilitates the proliferation of scientific information to the global dental fraternity.”

In addition to the programme, visitors are also invited to get hands-on the latest innovations and services in dentistry at the Global Dental Exhibition, Al Madani said. There, more than 1,400 manufacturers and distributors are presenting their latest innovations including new materials, as well as surgical and high-end dental equipment such as CBCT imaging devices and sophisticated digital practice solutions. Among them will be a number of world premieres, such as Acteon’s new phospor plate scanner and a topical fluoride varnish with calcium and phosphate for treatment of hypersensitivity by the GC Corporation.

Organisers expect another record outcome in business transactions. According to al-Madani, exhibitors generated sales of more than US$2.4 billion after last year’s show.
