W9 hosted the first Australian EthOss® Roadshow in May/June to showcase ground-breaking synthetic bone graft technology to dentists at events in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Dr Peter Fairbairn, clinical director at EthOss, who developed the technology, shared his vast expertise in bone regeneration throughout each lecture. Delegates learned about working with host healing of hard tissue and the regenerative process. They were also able to assess the different types of particulate materials used in regeneration and explored how this can be optimised using the synthetic graft material, EthOss.
Participants also evaluated the difference between Guided Bone Regeneration and True Bone Regeneration and examined the importance of host hard and soft tissues in the long-term stability of dental implants.
The lectures also included a hands-on practical session with guidance from Dr Fairbairn - a highly experienced dentist who has performed over 6,000 successful bone graft procedures and is the principal dentist at the Scarsdale Dental Clinic, London.
"We've thoroughly enjoyed the chance to show our ground-breaking synthetic bone graft technology to dentists from key cities in Australia," Dr Fairbairn said. "This was also a great opportunity for us to meet with our Australian distributor, W9, who manage all of our business in Australia.
"The week was a huge success. The fantastic response we received has shown there is a big demand for EthOss in Australia, along with associated clinical training and education and we're already in discussions to organise our next lectures. We look forward to coming back soon!"
W9 looks forward to hosting more events to ensure that continuing education is easy, clinically relevant and accessible across the country.
