After Successful DS World 24, Dentsply Sirona Making Plans for Next Year’s Return to Las Vegas

After another education-filled conference that featured a live-streamed surgery and Dr. Vin Gupta’s keynote on the future of healthcare, Dentsply Sirona is already making plans for next year’s DS World return to Las Vegas.

DS World 24 included a packed agenda of over 100 clinical education courses (including 17 hands-on sessions), more than 80 speakers, and the chance for attendees to earn up to 10 CE credits. DS World 24, which was held at the Caesar’s Forum from Sept. 26-28, 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 Meena Barsoum, DMD. Other highlights from the General Session included presentations by Jenny Apekian, DDS, and David Landwehr, DDS, on innovations in implants and endodontics, and the keynote and live Q&A session by Dr Gupta, a renowned healthcare futurist.

“I am so impressed by the quality of education and the diverse selection of courses offered at DS World,” Sara Mahmood, DDS, MS, FAGD, founder and owner of brush365 and one of this year’s main stage speakers, says in a press release. “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
Throughout the event, attendees had the opportunity to experience Dentsply Sirona’s latest innovations firsthand. On the exhibition floor 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, 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.
• CEREC® Software 5.3: DS World attendees got an advanced look at the latest CEREC software upgrade which is expected to be available in mid-October. Representing a big step forward in connected dentistry, the CEREC Software 5.3 upgrade connects CEREC workflows to the DS Core cloud platform and the new Primescan 2 intraoral scanner [it also integrates with Primescan AC and Primescan Connect], allowing dental professionals to upload designs to DS Core, streamline various workflows, and securely share files—all through a single, centralized platform.
• X-Smart® Pro+ and Reciproc™ Blue: 2new endodontic solutions designed to simplify root canal procedures for dentists, giving them greater flexibility. 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. The Reciproc Blue is designed to prepare the root canal using just 1 file, simplifying the process for dentists and excellently pairing with X-Smart Pro+.
• The company 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”, adds Bruce Peatey, group vice president - Americas at Dentsply Sirona.

Sustainability
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 and media members 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.
