IDEM 2022, themed "Building Resilience in Dentistry", will be held from 7-9 October at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands. Organised by Koelnmesse and the Singapore Dental Association, IDEM 2022 will feature over 30 scientific conference sessions, including hands-on workshops, a full-day masterclass and exhibits complemented with hybrid elements to ensure an holistic experience for all participants. This is the first physical IDEM after a hiatus brought about by the pandemic.
"As organisers of IDEM, we are excited to bring back the exhibition and conference face-to-face after four years. While continuing education has been ongoing digitally, based on feedback we have received from our partners, exhibitors and delegates, the in-person experience cannot be replaced. A physical event will ensure that participants will once again get to connect face-to-face with speakers, exhibitors and peers to learn about the latest developments in dentistry," said Mathias Kuepper, Managing Director of Koelnmesse Pte Ltd.
IDEM Singapore is the leading dental exhibition and conference in the Asia-Pacific region. This year, participants at IDEM 2022 can look forward to a series of programmes specially curated for the dental community.
Full-day SDA Masterclass
Conducted by Maurizio Tonetti, Chair Professor of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Director of the Shanghai Preimplant Innovation Center and Executive Director of the European Research Group on Periodontology will present on the topic Implants in Stage III and IV Periodontitis Patients: Benefits and Risks.
"We have curated a slew of exciting conference sessions for IDEM 2022," said Dr Lawrence Yong, President, Singapore Dental Association. "The IDEM conference will provide participants the opportunity to learn about the latest in clinical research and pick up practical skills as well."
"We are excited to have our SDA Masterclass Speaker Maurizio Tonetti as part of the IDEM Conference and remain committed to delivering the best experience for all delegates by continuing to bring them high quality continuing education sessions," added Prof Patrick Tseng, Scientific Chairperson of IDEM 2022.
