STOCKHOLM, Sweden: From 16 to 18 November, the Swedish capital will once again welcome dental professionals to Scandinavia’s largest dental show. The event is being held in conjunction with the Swedish Dental Association’s Annual Dental Congress under the theme “Movement: The mouth and the world—The roads ahead”.

For the first time, the meeting will be held from Wednesday to Friday instead of Thursday to Saturday. Up to 200 dealers from the region and elsewhere will be participating in the industry exhibition, showcasing their latest novelties and product highlights. Apart from the industry show, creative works by dental professionals will be on display (to the right of Hall A). Aiming to capture the creativity that exists in dentistry, the Swedish Dental Association invited dental professionals to participate in an art exhibition during the event.

Highlights of the scientific programme include the FluORO session, which will discuss the oral health effects of fluoride, as well as its potential association with various diseases and its toxicology. Also of interest and importance will be the lecture “Kulturkrockar i tandvården [Cultural clashes in dentistry]”, in which Anna Melle, a culture and integration consultant and author of several books on the subject, will seek to answer the question of how dentists can approach and better communicate with foreign patients who have come to the Nordic countries owing to the recent refugee crisis.

Moreover, the Swedish Dental Association will be launching a new programme to address the oral health of the elderly, titled “Munnen är allas ansvar! [The mouth is everyone’s responsibility!]”. Emil Broberg, third vice chairman of Sweden’s municipalities and county councils, and Dr Hans Göransson, Chairman of the Swedish Dental Association, will be introducing the new programme at the event on 17 November at 11.45 a.m.

All information about the meeting, parallel scientific sessions and social events is available at www.swedental.org and via the newly launched Stockholmsmässan app, which is available for both Apple and Android phones.
