The best of IDS 2023... on video

The biggest and best event in dentistry is over for another two years and if you missed it, don’t despair... because eLABORATE has it covered!

Rather than only writing about what’s new at IDS 2023 in Cologne, Germany, we asked our technical editor, Terry Whitty and our favourite prosthetist, Sam Dias, to document the best of what they saw on video.

All the videos are available now at www.dentevents.tv/channel/ids2023 or scan the QR code below:

You can sign up for free through the website or simply use your existing Dental Community login to sign in and watch them all at your leisure.

“This was eLABORATE’s first foray into video reporting and we learnt a lot during the process,” said eLABORATE publisher Joseph Allbeury. “We mostly need to get better at sound!

“Overall, the videos give a unique perspective on what two Australians found interesting at the IDS in March and have presented it in a more indepth way than how the pages of eLABORATE can alone.”

Apart from these videos recorded at IDS, Dentevents.tv features hundreds of videos related to dentistry with more being continually added.

“Dentevents.TV is a dedicated video streaming service for the dental profession that we built during the first COVID-19 lockdown,” Mr Allbeury said. “We encourage you to watch the videos but also to add your own videos based around dentistry. The more the merrier!”

IDS 2025 is next on again in Cologne, Germany from March 25-29, 2025. Visit www.ids-cologne.de for more details.
