From 15 to 17 August the 21st International Symposium on Dental Hygiene 2019 (ISDH) took place in Brisbane, Australia. The latest trends and scientific discoveries in dental hygiene were presented through the prism of this year’s theme: “LEAD – Leadership, Empowerment, Advances & Diversity”. With a particular focus on the NIWOP concept, W&H gave interested trade visitors insights into their evidence-based workflow for pre-treatment, implantation and aftercare.

Alexander Absmann, our W&H participant, was highly focused, accurate and fast. He was able to not only withstand the pressure and his own high expectations but also at all times avoided becoming hectic. This combination allowed him to achieve a top ranking at the apprentice world championship in Kazan (Russia).
