NEW YORK, NY, USA: Nobel Biocare welcomed more than 1,500 periodontists, general practitioners, prosthodontists, lab technicians and other dental professionals to the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City for its Global Symposium, a three-day event offering valuable education, technology and networking. The meeting was held on 24–25 June.
The symposium was opened by Domenico Scala, CEO of Nobel Biocare, and by Jonathan Ferencz, chairman of the scientific committee, who announced the five key educational key themes for the following three days: immediate function; soft tissue health and long-term predictability; new technologies for prosthetic success; treatment for edentulous patients; and advanced treatment planning.
The format of the meeting consisted of main programs in the Grand Ballroom, along with parallel sessions, master classes and hands-on training. Between sessions, attendees were able to walk through the exhibit area and view products and demonstrations and to meet with representatives from Nobel Biocare who specialize in particular products.
Attendees at the meeting also had the opportunity to visit the training and manufacturing plant in Mahwah, NJ, USA, where assembly lines are capable of producing crowns 24 hours a day. (The company also operates two other such facilities, in Stockholm and Tokyo.) Attendees at the site visit were able to learn from the assembled global brain trust behind NobelProcera, witness the assembly process—and even use the software to design an actual crown and send it into production.
Participants used optical scanners featuring conoscopic holography technology to input an image of a tooth impression. Then, using software installed on laptop computers, participants learned how to create a file for a crown. The software was so easy to learn that attendees were able to get up and running in minutes. Files were then sent to the production facility in the adjoining room. It was a rare opportunity for meeting attendees to observe firsthand the manufacturing process itself.
The next Nobel Biocare Global Symposium will be held this August in Tokyo.
