NEWS THAT CAN IMPROVE
YOUR PRACTICE:
from IDS 2017
I remember with pleasure my first visit I made to my father at the time of me dental school period in 2005 at
International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne, Germany.
Since then, I have been visiting this world-wide exhibit, manufacturer and dental barometer worldwide for
two years, where you can get acquainted with the latest news that can significantly improve your current work
practice.
At the last working session of the Editorial Operative Team of Stomatology Edu Journal organized by the
Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Jean François Roulet, the fresh Dr hc of the “Carol Davila” University of Medicine and
Pharmacy in Bucharest, I was nominated to support a new heading: “Product News”.
Of course, in order to better inform the readers of Stomatology Edu Journal, I will improve my information
at the International Dental Show (IDS) with data from Dental Compare, Dental News, infoDent, Dental
Economics, Dentistry Today etc.
Since I participated in the latest IDS in Cologne in March, 21-25, 2017 will present the leading technologies
