The “Dentalists” offered the fellows competent advice on any questions they had concerning VOCO products. Here, the dentist is finding out more about Quick Up, the luting material for attachments and secondary components in dentures
about their experiences with VOCO products and receive comprehensive feedback. It was also a great chance to hear numerous suggestions, including expanding the shade range for certain restorative materials or the choice of application methods available. The symposium’s programme was
rounded off by a tour of the company, and a discussion of further co-operation between VOCO and the fellows and the joint execution of further training events. A beach party with a barbecue in the evening, plus a boat trip to Hamburg and a gala dinner in the IndoChine Asian gourmet restaurant, rounded off the VIFS 2015 supporting programme in style. Event Manager Dr Matthias Mehring
from VOCO’s Knowledge Communica- tion Department said: “Just like last year, we were able to welcome a large number of outstanding participants and take a closer look at a range of dental topics from both the manufacturers’ and dentists’ perspective, together with our fellows. “This is the only way of ensuring
successful co-operation with the fellows in the future and the execution of further training events which are both practice- relevant and appealing in the individual countries. “At the same time, the recommenda-
tions from our fellows are an essential source of input for our research and development work. The event was once again advantageous for both sides. “On top of that, with an event of
this type, size and quality, VOCO is making an unmistakable mark on the dental market.”
PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK
“The range of talks and presentations was amazingly large and the quality was even better than at the first symposium. There were helpful tips for day-to-day work in the practice and I’m sure we will be able to expand on existing contacts and the new ones we have made here.” Dr Ludwig Hermeler (Rheine, Germany)
“The presentations gave an excellent insight into diverse indications and cases. As a result, the discussions between participants were full of suggestions for work in the practice.” Dr James Robson (Billingham, England)
“I especially liked the demonstrative presentation given by Dr Tam from New Zealand, which displayed excellently photographed case reports on aesthetic treatment in the anterior and posterior regions. The presentation with the video by Dr Alves Feitosa from Brazil was also very interesting and entertaining, as he showed how to produce and adapt temporary veneers on himself.” Prof Dr Yu-Chih Chiang (Taipei, Taiwan)
“Both the talks and the exchange with speakers were very valuable, as well as the round table discussions with the VOCO scientific team. The symposium has created a global network with enormous potential.
It has inspired me to undertake new clinical studies and employ new approaches in my day-to-day work.” Dr Paul Nahas (Tripoli, Lebanon)
“The symposium covered both academic and clinical aspects of day-to-day work in the practice in equal measure. I will also be keeping in contact with the other fellows to share our experience with clinical cases and practice questions.” Dr William Paveletz (Malvern, USA)
“It was brilliant to meet so many colleagues from all over the world – an optimal platform and a very pleasant atmosphere. The scientific background information was perfectly complemented with the presentation of clinical cases. On top of that, we had the opportunity to find out in more detail about individual products and their advantages in different fields. ” Dr Clarence Tam (Auckland, New Zealand)
“It was very interesting to see how colleagues proceed with different indications. It is also a great opportunity to make useful contacts for professional exchange. After I attended the first symposium, these were a great help to me, for example when working on a study into bulk- fill materials.”
Dr Guido Sterzenbach (Berlin, Germany) Ireland’s Dental magazine 33
