MY IMPRESSIONS

Prof. (Dr.) Mahesh Verma

“In its truest form, IDS is a Mecca
where Innovation is inspired by Dis-
covery, and Discovery translates into
real-world Solutions.”
IDS has grown to such monumental
proportions that it becomes nearly
impossible for any individual to fully
acquaint oneself with every intricate
development at the micro level, while
simultaneously grasping the vast
panorama of progress unfolding at the
macro level. And yet, within this over-
whelming scale lies a unique brilliance
— an event marked in time, where one
can sense the collective momentum, the driving pulse of the profession,
and gain firsthand exposure to emerging trends and technologies that
are shaping the future of dentistry.
What makes IDS Cologne truly remarkable is its inherent inclusivity — it
draws no lines between clinician and technician, manufacturer and sup-
plier. Every voice is welcomed, every innovation recognized, and every
contribution uplifted. It is not merely an exhibition — it is an evolving
canvas of ideas, collaboration, and transformative vision.

MY KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE IDS

Dr. Amit Anand

My key takeaways centered around four core areas:

1. Implementing Full-Spectrum Digital Workflow in Dental Clinics
I observed live demonstrations showcasing a complete digital journey
from diagnostics to restoration—scanning, planning, milling, and place-
ment—all within the clinic. Discovered how digital integration enhances
predictability, precision, and patient communication, especially in aes-
thetic and restorative dentistry.
2. Navigated the Future: Guided & Navigation-Assisted Surgery
I experienced the future of implantology with X-Guide, understanding its
role in real-time 3D navigation and dynamic surgery.

3. Digital Smile Design: Art Meets Science
I witnessed how real-time smile previews, facial scans, and mock-ups
are used to co-create smiles with patient input. Embraced the concept
of emotional dentistry, where smile design is not just about teeth but
about confidence and identity.
4. Mastering DS Core – The Heart of Dentsply Sirona’s Digital Ecosystem
I explored how DS Core acts as a centralized, cloud-based platform inte-
grating imaging, patient communication, diagnostics, and lab collabora-
tion and gained hands-on exposure to DS Core Create and its seamless
connectivity with CEREC, Primescan and lab systems, improving treat-
ment efficiency and case acceptance.
