Another full house for Digital Dentistry & Dental Technology 2023

The fourth annual Digital Dentistry and Dental Technology conference staged at the Novotel Sydney Brighton Beach over two days on June 2 and 3, 2023 has been another outstanding success, testatment to the appetite for face-to-face learning from the dental profession.

"The unique format of Digital Dentistry and Dental Technology has again proven itself popular, with the multiple education streams offering all delegates the opportunity to tailor their learning experience exactly in line with their individual needs," said Dentevents' Joseph Allbeury.

"Each year, we pay careful attention to how the digital dentistry space is unfolding and endeavour to offer sessions that are on the cutting edge. While 3D printing was certainly well represented on the education program this year as you would expect, the most exciting new technology would easily be the arrival of two 3D facial scanning systems that really captured delegates' attention.

"Since the event began in 2018, the program has really chronicled the evolution of the digital dentistry space. 3D printing hardly rated a mention on the program 'back' then. And who knows, in another 5 years, the space will have shifted yet again.

"Importantly, the feedback on all levels was resoundingly positive and we can see exactly where we need to steer the event for 2024 and beyond in order to attract an even larger audience and continue to be at the cutting edge of dental education."

Digital Dentistry and Dental Technology 2023 presented delegates with a choice of over 90 education sessions - 94 hours of content - in 8 concurrent streams presented by 46 speakers.

Topics covered included 3D printing, intraoral scanning, 3D facial scanning, milling, CAD and CAM software, materials, smile design, digital dentures, implantology, CBCT, restorative, aligners, orthodontics and more.

"The success of Digital Dentistry and Dental Technology 2023 is thanks to a lot of help and support from everyone involved," Mr Allbeury said.

"The event simply could not take place without our sponsors - Ivoclar, Innovatio Dental Supplies, Dental Axess and Fabdent. Each of these companies presented an education stream packed with outstanding content and delivered by an amazing group of speakers, several of whom made the journey from overseas.

"The talent on show throughout the entire event in all streams was simply outstanding and included some of Australia, New Zealand and the world's most sought after speakers.

"As the organiser, I am always trying to ensure the program is relevant and compelling and nothing says that more than a lecture room that is standing room only with still more delegates bulging out the door. This was certainly the case on a number of occasions throughout the event. So thank you to all the speakers who presented throughout the two days of the event.

"Thank you also goes to the dental industry and the 45 companies that participated. And I would also like to thank the NSW Government who supported the event with a Business Events Grant.

"Thank you to Dani, Angus, Frank and David who hosted lecture rooms and thank you to my family who I steal time from every year to organise and run the event.

"And finally, thank you to everyone who attended the event as a delegate, many for the fourth time. Without you, all our hard work would be for nothing.

"If you have never been before or have been to each and every edition, I hope to see you at DDDT 2024."
