Dental dialogue

Integrated into an attractive supporting programme, the guests spoke on and discussed the latest issues and most recent dental methods with the ‘dentalists’ from Voco. This was a fitting start for the state-of-the-art training centre in Voco’s new main building and, as such, a successful première on two counts. With this first-class symposium, the company has set high expectations for the future. “Thanks to this new series of events, Voco will be able to build on its good contacts both at home and abroad and also intensify the fruitful dialogue between itself as a manufacturer and dental practices,” explained Klaus Peter Hoffmann, head of the science communication department. “This is vital for a modern dental company which strives to satisfy the need for information and the demands of its customers long-term,” stressed Hoffmann.

A reflection of strong international focus

Voco already regularly conducts training events and hands-on courses in various countries together with its dental partners. These courses focus on the practical use of dental materials in dental quality circles, universities and as part of dental trade events. According to managing director Olaf Sauerbier, who welcomed the participants to this symposium with a talk on the history and current status of the company, Voco’s strong international orientation is also reflected in this field. “Today Voco not only boasts an extensive market presence,” stated Sauerbier, “but also international cooperation with dentists.” According to Sauerbier, for a researching dental company like Voco, close contact with practices is fundamental for developing innovative needs-based dental materials. “We all benefit equally from this – we as a company, dentists and, of course, patients,” concluded Sauerbier.
