Events Schedule
Accomodation recomendations
The exhibition presents the latest technologies and raises questions.
On May 14, the Central Asian International Dental Exhibition "IDECA 2025" will kick off at the Uzexpocenter in Tashkent. The country's main dental exhibition will showcase not only the latest innovations from the global industry but will also host a forum that includes master classes, educational modules, and discussions on relevant topics. Interestingly, one of these topics goes beyond dentistry.
The honorary guest of the event, Professor Lakshman Samaranayake (Hong Kong), will present a talk titled "Current Perspectives on Infection Prevention and Control in Dentistry." The issue at hand is how to protect healthcare professionals from infections that may be present in their patients and prevent the transmission of these infections to other patients, a concern that is becoming increasingly relevant. It is no secret that the types of various infectious diseases are not only increasing but also becoming more diverse. Therefore, approaches to infection control must be constantly reviewed and updated. For example, in Uzbekistan, chlorine-containing agents are used for disinfecting doctors' hands, surfaces, and instruments, which have been abandoned in many developed countries due to their harmful effects on human health and their destructive impact on instruments and surfaces.
In this regard, chlorine-containing preparations are being replaced with more modern alternatives, of which there are quite a few today. However, for the implementation of these changes at the national level, it is necessary to revise regulatory documents, which will allow for the prevention of infection transmission at a more advanced level.
Lakshman Samaranyake will share with the exhibition participants international standards for medical protocols on modern disinfection, which is particularly important for preventing the transmission of infections.
As noted by Fazliddin Sadikov, the head of BIOSTOM and the director of the "IDECA" project, discussions on important issues for the development of domestic dentistry will not be limited to the exhibition. Given the immense interest from specialists, it is planned to continue discussions on relevant topics in the future, inviting responsible health officials from Uzbekistan and other interested parties.
The exhibition and forum include a comprehensive educational program, for which invitations to participate have been sent by the organizers to all relevant universities in the country. Students and working professionals will be presented with the latest methodologies in dentistry from esteemed experts.
Among the speakers is another honorary guest of the exhibition, Dr. Simona Schick from Heidelberg University in Germany, as well as experts from Uzbekistan, Russia, Kazakhstan, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Georgia, and other countries.
For example, under the guidance of Russian expert Stas Belous, the application of new digital technologies in dentistry will be demonstrated in practice. Procedures will be performed with real patients, projected onto a large monitor, allowing everyone interested to delve into all the nuances of the process. Modern clinics typically have good equipment, including 3D printers and intraoral scanners. The question is how to make fuller use of their capabilities. This requires continuously studying the best practices of colleagues. "IDECA" will provide a great opportunity for this.
"During the master classes, we will demonstrate, for example, the complete cycle of manufacturing dental prosthesis structures using modern digital fabrication protocols. For this purpose, a functioning mini-laboratory will be set up here. The process will begin with the patient intake stage, followed by the stage of manufacturing the entire structure for them in the laboratory. Participants in the master class will see everything step by step and will be able to ask all clarifying questions about the methodology," said F. Sadikov.
The exhibition is taking place for the second consecutive year, and despite the invitation of a large number of esteemed experts, all workshops for dental professionals are organized by the organizers free of charge. Additionally, presentations, discussions, and a training program with live demonstrations will be held in various halls of the exhibition throughout all three days of its operation. Naturally, the most attention from visitors will be focused on the booths of the exhibiting companies, where they will showcase modern types of dental and diagnostic equipment, the latest developments in consumables, and tools from manufacturers from Germany, Russia, China, the USA, Switzerland, South Korea, and several other countries around the world.
