A particular highlight is the "My CAMLOG Area" where you'll find something very special; easily integrate your own documents by synchronization from your Dropbox folder. You then have access to what you need – always and everywhere.
What is "Dropbox"?
"Dropbox" is an online service that lets you save files in a central location that you want to access from anywhere. It can be very practical, for example, to save photos from your own smartphone in a folder that you can access on your PC at home. You can also save documents in a Dropbox folder and share access to anyone you want. No more unwieldy e-mail attachments, USB sticks or CDs – you can give anyone access to your files by simply sharing the respective folder.

INNOVATIVE TREATMENT CONCEPTS
FOR FIXED PROSTHESIS USING
CAD/CAM TECHNOLOGY1

PD Dr Florian Beuer, Munich, Dr Michael Stimmelmayr, Cham, Josef Schweiger, Munich
For reasons of time, many patients want treatment in as few sittings as possible. For this purpose, implant positions can be registered, for example, right after implantation. When exposing the implant site, the final abutment is then attached. This has the additional advantage that the connective tissue attachment does not have to be detached again. The tissue can mature without disruption with potentially beneficial effects on the peri-implant situation [1]. This proven protocol has recently been further developed using CAD/CAM technology [2]. The final abutments can be fabricated from the biocompatible zirconia [3]. The preparation boundaries can also be specified in the software for the temporary restoration relatively accurate at the level of the gingival margin.

AND THE PRINCIPLE OF HUMANITY
A forward-looking and open-minded attitude towards modern technology and a high sense of tradition and traditional values are not mutually exclusive. A clear example of this is Switzerland where the Swiss Dental Technology Congress 2012 was held in September of this year with key involvement and at the initiative of CAMLOG.

Beat Krippendorf, lecturer in strategic and operational marketing, provided a fantastic end to the Swiss Dental Technology Congress 2012. His main focus is the "principle of humanity" and the belief that good relationships affect business success sustainably. According to Krippendorf, good relationships are less a question of technical competence and more a question of attitude and personality or in his own words, the "own culture". "People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care," is just one of his striking theses.
With this, an outstanding event came to a deeply inspiring and motivating end. We can already look forward with eager anticipation to the cotinuation of the Swiss Dental Technology Congress and the coming motto! HIGHER, FASTER, FARTHER!
The 35th International Dental Show will be held from 12–16 March 2013 in Cologne, Germany.
