Something for Everyone at the BDTA Showcase 2009…

The British Dental Trade Association is holding the BDTA Dental Showcase 2009,
at the NEC, Birmingham.

They claim: “A trip to BDTA Dental Showcase can help you to maximise upon the
opportunities available. It is the largest dental exhibition in the UK and
provides you with a superb team building occasion where all members of the
dental team can research, compare, discuss and network with the ultimate aim of
improving the knowledge base and finding ways to enhance the activities of the
dental practice or laboratory.”

For the dentist…
The showcase is a perfect place to enjoy dentistry away from
the practice and a convenient opportunity to learn about innovations first-hand.

For the dental technician…
The showcase provides the perfect environment for
spotting innovations and as an added bonus free CPD seminars are taking place
over the three days. 



For the dental nurse, hygienist or therapist… 
The showcase will provide an
opportunity for familiarisaiton with the products used on a regular basis.

Finally, as dental students… “You will be keen to develop a list of contacts and
keep up to date with the innovations being introduced in dentistry as these will
enable you to start your career with the necessary support mechanism and
knowledge. With over 13,000 members of the dental team all under one roof at
Showcase you will be able to network and exchange information. 

Many
manufacturers and suppliers from the UK and abroad also find a trip to Showcase
useful… 


If you are looking to launch new products, find a dealer or join with a
supplier, Showcase provides you with access to a wider range of dealers,
manufacturers, suppliers and service providers in the dental equipment,
consumables, finance, publishing and technologies sectors than any other dental
event providing the opportunity to develop long term mutually beneficial
relationships.  As you can see, there is something for the whole dental team at
this year’s Showcase. I look forward to seeing you there!”

New Drug Released

A pharmaceutical company, based in Ahmedabad in India – Troikaa Pharmaceuticals – has launched Xynova Endo, a Lidocaine lozenge for customised endoscopy procedures in patients.

The press release was where the company said that this unique product is useful for anaesthetising a patient’s oral cavity or mouth during endoscopic procedures.

This new lollipop-like drug is an intra-oral anesthetic dosage form comprising a Lidocaine lozenge mounted on a unique holder.

The patient is able to suck the lozenge gradually by rolling it in the mouth, with the help of the holder. The product is completely soluble, leaves no undissolved residue and provides a clear field of vision.

A paramedic can initiate dosing 10 minutes prior to the procedure, leading to time saving by the doctor.
