The International Dental Show (IDS) is the leading dental business summit, showcasing the latest innovations in the dental industry. The dental community gathers from across the globe to discover state-of-the-art technology that will shape the future of dentistry.
IDS 2025 is taking place in Cologne, Germany, from March 25-29. Over 1,700 exhibitors from across 60 countries will be presenting their products and services, with 120,000 visitors attending from over 160 countries.
Here are a few outstanding examples demonstrating how the manufacturers of dental medicine technology are bringing dentists, dental technicians, and their teams forward.
Caries diagnosis:
- The aggregation of different imaging techniques such as x-rays, fluorescence, and transillumination ensures a good overall picture.
- The x-ray diagnosis occurs fully-automatically supported by artificial intelligence and is thus at the disposal of the dentist for the medical evaluation – enabling the improved detection of initial caries lesions.
- The magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) has been introduced as a further digital imaging technology for the improved detection of secondary and occult caries.
MRT:
- In the field of periodontal diagnostics, this already allows the detection of bone loss in its early stages.
- The MRT can be combined with intra oral scans, 3D x-rays, and a computer tomography in implantology to enable successful backward-planning.
Periodontology and professional prophylaxis:
- Innovative multifunctional systems with an ultrasonic handpiece and a powder jet handpiece offer the team user-friendly operation and the patients a particularly pleasant therapy.
Endodontics:
- Digital assistance systems reduce the risk of file breakage. Thanks to sensor-less control, the motor reacts immediately and a continual electronic length determination during the active processing helps keep the file always on the desired target.
To what extent the current innovations will change the important framework conditions for running a dental practice or laboratory will ensue from the many expert discussions held at the 41st IDS. Ultimately, the patients will profit from the new concepts, techniques, system solutions, and products the dental professionals integrate into their daily work.
