Since 2010, dentists, technicians and experts in dental health from Germany have been supporting an aid project in Siavonga, Zambia, as part of the “Dentists Without Limits Foundation” (DWLF). Treatments are carried out both in the dental clinic at the local hospital in Siavonga and on people in the surrounding area –always featuring the use of an Implantmed device from W&H.

The 17th Biennial conference of the IAP in Bangkok presented a variety of talks and workshops in the field of periodontology. In addition to discussing new developments and current approaches to the management of periodontal diseases, further insights on the associations of systemic- and periodontal diseases as well as therapeutic approaches were shown. A practice day offered hands on workshops with the opportunity to learn from acclaimed experts in their respective fields and discuss patient cases.

With the new ioDent^® brand, W&H has brought intelligent products and services onto the dental market, revolutionizing treatment processes for dentists and patients. The medical technology company and its partner dataformers have now been awarded a top-three spot in the ‘Internet of Things’ category at the FutureZone Award 2019 for these ground-breaking, smart solutions.
