Visitors were introduced to the latest medical imaging software and computer guided surgery procedures for the dental and maxillofacial fields, dental vacuum pumps, orthopaedic prosthetics, dental implants, and new CAD/CAM solutions to improve the quality of the performance and operative efficiency of dental labs. Also, on display were dental whitening solutions and uniforms for clinic staff in unique Italian style. Many of the participating Italian companies have been in business for three to four generations.

According to Gianpaolo Bruno, Trade Commissioner to the UAE, Oman and Pakistan, ITA: “The 26 companies exhibiting at the Italian pavilion provide a diverse range of solutions for the dental industry.
