Dubai, UAE: On 4 and 5 December 2015, American orthodontic, Ormco, held its 2nd MENA Symposium in Dubai Jumeirah Emirates Towers. 300 international delegates attended the various presentations of the international speakers. The presentations were mainly focused on Damon System and its umbrella products usage.
Ormco has offered a variety of topics after which the delegates could pursue the excellence of orthodontics by attending the event.
The first day has started with Dr. Stuart Frost from the US lecture with the title ‘’It is all about the finish. Becoming a Damon Master finisher!’’ During which he has discussed the importance of facial based treatment planning for more beautiful faces and smiles with excellent finishes. The lecture was followed by Dr. Hans Seeholzer from Germany who spoke mainly about marketing in orthodontics with the lecture titled ’’Tips and tricks to be a successful and modern orthodontist today’’ and the day was finished by Dr. Zakaria Bentahar who answered the question “How to improve efficiency with passive self-ligating brackets?” In the end of the day, after the full day of lectures the delegates were invited to attend the cocktail reception that was held in Jumeirah Emirates Towers.
Dr. Andrey Tikhonov from Russia has opened the second day program of the 2nd MENA Symposium with his lecture “Damon System Truths versus Myths” during which he said that “Orthodontics is about changing people destiny, so it is not only about straightening teeth.” The lecture of Dr. Tikhonov was followed by Dr. Philippe Van Steenberghe on elastics and how important they are under the title’’ Early elastics a new world to explore ‘’. The day was finished with two lectures of Dr. Jeff Kozlowski’s Digital Orthodontics showing how to use Insignia and how passive self-ligation can help enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of treatment for your practice and patient.
During the two day symposium the speakers elaborated mainly on the benefits of Damon System usage in their practices. Additionally, during the breaks in between the lectures, the participants could see an interactive display of the Damon System and also displayed Damon System umbrella products displayed in Ormco booth.
Moreover, the new addition to the 2 day agenda were hands-on courses on brackets positioning. The two hands-on courses were given by Dr. Stuart Frost and Dr. Dimitris Mavreas. During the courses the guests could practice on the Ormco typodonts and discover further the Damon System.
