www.sdshow.co.uk The best yet
20ı4 Scottish Dental Show featured more stands, more delegates and a world-class speaker programme
M
ore delegates, more exhibitors and a brand new venue all added up to make the 20ı4 Scottish
Dental Show at Braehead Arena the biggest and busiest show yet. Delegate numbers were up nearly 20
per cent and they enjoyed a two-day conference and exhibition that is unri- valled in Scotland. Professor Trevor Burke was the keynote speaker on Friday morning and his two sessions were attended by more than 200 dental professionals. He was joined on the podium over the
two days by Ashley Latter, Mark Oborn, Prof Paul Tipton, Barbara Lamb, Dipesh Parmar, StJohn Crean, Mike Gow and Bob Philpott among many more. A popular workshop programme running in parallel also attracted dozens of delegates to hands-on sessions looking at implants, intra-oral scanners, short-term ortho and endodontics, to name just a few. The lecture and workshop
programmes were backed up with a bustling trade show featuring all the biggest names in dentistry including sponsors DTS International, Leca Dental Lab, A-dec, Coltene, AWB Textiles, DMG, IDH and MDDUS. One of the highlights of the Saturday
lecture programme was a special inde- pendence debate chaired by former GDC president Hew Mathewson CBE. The debate featured Glasgow Central MP Anas Sarwar and Clyde Dental Group principal dentist Clive Schmulian arguing the Better Together side, opposite Shaw- lands GDP Gerard Boyle and retired academic Dr Willie Wilson arguing the Yes side. Nearly ı00 delegates stayed until 3pm
on the Saturday to hear the arguments with an informal showing of hands at the end indicating that the audience was leaning towards a No vote. Turn to page 34 to read what the
panellists had to say. Plans are already under way for the
20ı5 Scottish Dental Show, that will return to Braehead Arena on 29 and 30 May. More than 40 companies have already booked stands at the show, with the speaker and workshop programme still to be confirmed.
