At Ptak Warsaw Expo, the International Trade Fair and Congress of Dentistry and Aesthetic Medicine was held for the first time between 6 and 8 September. Even though it was a start, we can already speak of an organizational success. And invite you to the fair next year.

176 exhibitors represented about 760 brands at the Warsaw fair, including such giants as DCI Edge, FedesaSiger, Gantus, Blend-a-med & amp; Oral-B, Saevo, Being, Trident, Fona, Getidy, Osida, Vatech, Midmark, Diplomat, 3M Epse, Cerkamed, Dentsply, HeraeusKulzer, SDI, Planmeca, DMG, Densply, Kulzer, FGM, Kerr, S eptodont, Voco, W&H, Poldent. Live, in one place, you could see their full offer and a package of new products – which was eagerly used by visitors to the fair.

Many people pointed to the new direction of the fair – combining the dental sector with everything important for the aesthetic industry. How close these directions could be seen during many shows, lectures and panels that were held simultaneously in several conference rooms. In some of them treatments were presented live, in others interesting issues were discussed in detail – from strictly medical and practical to legal issues, e.g. the introduction of the GDPR and the practice of running a dentist’s office. The substantive level was ensured by a group of outstanding Polish and foreign authorities, including: Prof. Renata Górska, Prof. Giulio Rasperini, dr hab. Jan Kowalski, MD, Marcin Aluchna, MD, prof. Andrea Corbo, Dipl. hig. Magdalena Suszyńska, MD, PhD Dorota Stańczak-Sionek, Ph.D. Joanna Sitko-Gap, dr hab. PawełPlakwicz, MD, PhD Piotr Okoński, MD, PhD Bartłomiej Górski, Monika Borakowska-Siennicka, MD, PhD, prof. dr hab. n.med. Edward Franek, prof. dr hab. n.med. Piotr Pruszczyk, dr hab. n.med. Ewa Monika Czochrowska, MD stom. Wojciech Ryncarz, dr n.med. Maciej Jagielak, Ph.D. Jakub Zwoliński, MD, PhD Anna Skwarek.

Professionals were also interested in sessions for EduAsyst Hygienists and Assistants. Qualified hygienists Magdalena Michałowska, Jolanta Bielecka, Katarzyna Ostrowska, Karolina Kopciewicz-Kozicka, Marzena Cesarz, Natalia Szeląg and Danuta Rozmarynowska shared their experience and practical knowledge at the Congress as speakers.

The exhibitors themselves also took care of the demonstrations and trainings. They appeared thanks to, inter alia, representatives of Philips and Procter & amp; Gamble, presenting new products on the one hand, and focusing on the practical aspects of their use on the other.

Statistics also inspire respect: 89 lecturers conducted 35 workshops and 92 lectures. All this took place in 17 rooms, and 660 people from the industry signed up for the congress.

– It’s a great day for us – said Krzysztof Kawa, director for Poland at Procter & amp; Gamble, emphasizing the importance of the good location of Ptak Warsaw Expo – It is very important for us that the fair takes place in the center of our country, which was so far lacking – commented.

– We wanted the great dental event to return to Warsaw. It worked – said dr hab. n. med. Jan Kowalski. – We hope that the Warsaw Dental Medica Show will be a permanent fixture in the dental calendar – he added.

The event was also very positively received in the industry – It is quite good and without taking a correction to the fact that the Warsaw Dental Medica Show is a completely new venture in the dental industry – noted the prestigious industry portal Infodent24.pl. Lots of exhibitors

confirmed the thesis, noting that even after the first day of the event, they could already be satisfied with the talks and contracts concluded.

The fair is also an opportunity for less formal meetings – in the evenings, after the conference and business talks at Ptak Warsaw Expo, the gathered could admire the performances of Kabaret Moralny Niepokoju and Stefano Terrazzino. Edyta Górniak’s recital, which ended Friday evening at the Warsaw Dental Medica Show, was also applauded for a long time. Earlier awards were given – the list of winners below.

The unique atmosphere was also conducive to decisions to return next year. The next edition of the fair is planned for 5-7 September 2019. Already today, both participants of the Warsaw Dental Medica Show 2018 and those who, for various reasons, could not appear at the first trade fair event, are applying for it.
