With a packed agenda of over 100 clinical education courses (including 17 hands-on sessions), more than 80 speakers, and the chance to earn up to 10 CE credits, DS World once again provided invaluable learning and networking opportunities.
One of the standout moments was the live-streamed final restorations and implant crown delivery of a full-mouth reconstruction procedure performed by Dr. Meena Barsoum. Other General Session highlights included Dr. Jenny Apekian’s and Dr. David Landwehr’s presentations on innovations in implants and endodontics, and Dr. Vin Gupta, a renowned healthcare futurist, whose keynote on the future of healthcare was followed by a live Q&A session with the audience.
“I am so impressed by the quality of education and the diverse selection of courses offered at DS World,” said Sara Mahmood, DDS, MS, FAGD, founder and owner of brush365 and one of this year’s main stage speakers2 at Dentsply Sirona World. “It’s inspiring to be surrounded by so many passionate professionals. For me, it’s not just about the formal clinical education, but also about the incredible value of coming together to connect with peers, sharing experiences, and learning from each other.”
Solutions in Focus at DS World
Throughout the event, attendees had the opportunity to experience Dentsply Sirona’s latest innovations firsthand. The exhibition floor was buzzing with excitement as visitors engaged with advanced solutions from nearly every field of dentistry designed to enable dental practices to provide the best possible care for their patients. Among many solutions in the spotlight at DS World were:
• Primescan® 2,3 the first cloud-native intraoral scanning solution. Powered by DS Core, the recently launched wireless intraoral scanner can scan to any internet-connected device without needing a dedicated computer.
• X-Smart® Pro+ and Reciproc™ Blue: Two new endodontic solutions designed to simplify root canal procedures for dentists, giving them greater flexibility.6 The X-Smart Pro+ is a portable motor capable of driving genuine reciprocating or continuously rotating motions with a user interface that won a prestigious iF Design Award.7 The Reciproc Blue is designed to prepare the root canal using just one file, simplifying the process for dentists and excellently pairing with X-Smart Pro+.
• Dentsply Sirona also celebrated 15 years of SDR® flow+, Dentsply Sirona’s breakthrough resin technology. With over 135 million applications sold worldwide since its inception, SDR flow+ Bulk Fill Flowable has become a staple in Class I, II, III, V, as well as in post-endodontic treatment, pit and fissure sealing, and core build-up restorations.
“DS World is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence in the dental industry. This event brings together the brightest minds and Dentsply Sirona’s latest advancements, fostering an environment of learning and collaboration that helps drive the industry forward, and we are proud to host it”, said Bruce Peatey, Group Vice President - Americas at Dentsply Sirona.
Sustainability at DS World
DS World not only reflects Dentsply Sirona’s commitment to clinical education but also highlights the Company’s sustainability program, BEYOND. A collaborative activity about sustainable packaging allowed attendees to learn about waste management and the company’s initiative to promote more sustainable product packaging while allowing them to share their needs and expectations. This year’s event also featured a Women's Dinner for female professionals to network and learn from each other, underscoring the Company’s dedication to inclusivity in the field. Additionally, DS World introduced a Community Engagement area featuring Dental Lifeline Network, Smile Train, and TeamSmile, where attendees could learn more about these organizations, make donations, and explore volunteer opportunities.
