Colloquium Dental 2023: The charm of Lake Garda meets innovation
In Montichiari, from October 19 to 21, the Fiera del Garda opened its doors for the prestigious Colloquium Dental 2023, an event originally intended for dental laboratories, which over time has become a focal point for the entire dental industry.
A mixed picture in terms of participation
While visitor numbers at Colloquium Dental 2023 once again showed positive trends and attracted professionals in droves, an opposite trend was observed among exhibiting companies. A significant drop in exhibitor registrations reflected a changing industry landscape and the different challenges companies face in these dynamic times. This development highlights the importance of adaptability and evolution in an era where technological advances and market changes often go hand in hand. This is a constantly evolving scenario and all industry players must constantly reinvent themselves and stay up to date.
Digitalization in the spotlight
Times are changing, and digitization is reshaping the landscape of the dental industry. This was clearly confirmed at Colloquium Dental 2023. Exhibitors and speakers focused on introducing the audience to the digital transformations the industry is undergoing.
Revolution through material innovation
Together with MINDFAB, we presented the new, innovative splint materials which MINDFAB has added to its range as a distributor. FAB Polyamide 12 is characterized by its high strength and FAB MSI FX delivers convincing material properties, such as the thermos-memory effect. These are just some of the innovations presented.
New directions in splint materials technology
But the industry's curiosity went beyond mere material innovations. The DLyte polishing machine attracted just as much attention. In addition, CADdent's LaserMelting process pointed to the wide range of possibilities this technology offers not only for the dental sector, but also for other industries - such as rapid prototyping.
CONCLUSION
Colloquium Dental 2023 was more than just an event. It was a statement, a testament to the relentless spirit of innovation which prevails in the dental industry. At all times, a respectful eye was kept on traditions while boldly moving towards a promising digital future.
