Cologne, Germany- The International Dental Show, 2019, officially opened its doors for the 38th time on the morning of March 12th, with the ribbon being cut. It was a 5-day event, extending from March 12th to 16th, in Cologne. The opening was performed by representatives of the German dental industry, IDS staging company Koelnmesse and an international sporting champion. Olympic medalist and sports ambassador Britta Heidemann joined show organisers in the opening ceremony.
IDS- the world’s leading trade fair for the dental sector is as much an international marketplace, a showcase for performance and innovation, and a communications forum for experts and colleague as it is a real hub for an excellently networked industry in an increasingly digitalized world. At the IDS- which is unique in terms of its depth and breadth, the entire dental industry was represented: from dental medicine, to dental technology, infection protection and maintenance, through to customer services, information, communication and organizational materials. No other dental trade fair worldwide presents such a wide spectrum of offers of
dental products and services.
This year, around 2,300 companies from over 60 countries attended the dental show. At over 160,000 m² of exhibition space- covering covers Halls 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 and 11- IDS offered these companies great contact chances and business opportunities. 70% of the registered companies were from outside Germany: Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey and the USA among others.
With forward-looking innovations, countless new products, exciting live demonstrations and practical hands-on, IDS 2019 presented the most important concepts and technologies to the entire dental industry of today and tomorrow.
Henry Schein, Inc. showcased their latest business, clinical, technology, and supply chain solutions for health care professionals at the IDS.

In addition, Henry Schein’s implant businesses, BioHorizons and CAMLOG, showcased a comprehensive line of dental implants, restorative components, CAD/CAM, and innovative regenerative solutions. Developed with the ultimate goal of early osseointegration and long-term bone stability in mind, the ultra-hydrophilic, multi-zone implant surface, TiUltra- by Nobel Biocare- took anodization technology a step further.
Dental Bauer presented its new dental unit design, “bluemarina”, which consists of an elegant treatment unit with matching furnishings. The treatment dominated its respective field with its detail-rich and timeless elegance in combination with state-of-the-art modern technology and ergonomic shape.

At the Show, several novel compounds attracted attention. Swiss oral health company CURADEN has released a novel dentifrice with organic key ingredient; CURAPROX Perio Plus+is a new generation of antiseptic mouthwashes, gel and toothpaste containing just the right amount of chlorhexidine and CITROX- a potent natural antiseptic sourced from bitter oranges- that enhances Perio Plus+’s effect against a wide range of pathogens. Sangi, based in Tokyo, made a spectacular appearance at the Dental Show with their hydroxyapatite toothpaste, which easily became the highlight in the area of home-based oral care
