Among the key sessions in the program is a session titled: “Shape Memory Direct Printed Aligners: A New Paradigm in Orthodontics,” presented by Prof. Dr. Ravindra Nanda from the USA. The session focuses on the importance of understanding the materials used in orthodontics and the biomechanics behind their application. A new material for orthodontic appliances will be introduced, featuring shape-memory properties, reduced force application, and enhanced adaptability to tooth surfaces. These appliances can be manufactured directly in the clinic using 3D printing technology, eliminating the reliance on traditional molds and plastics, which pose significant environmental hazards.

DWDM 2025 will also feature a specialized session on “Guided Biofilm Therapy,” presented by Dental Hygiénist Hanan Tahir from the UAE. This session will discuss the latest noninvasive therapeutic techniques that have become the gold standard in periodontal treatment. Thanks to the integration of the latest scientific advancements, this technique is highly effective in eliminating disease-causing bacteria while ensuring optimal patient comfort.

Additionally, the event will shed light on Osseodensification for dental implants, a pioneering technique that has revolutionized the field of implantology. This topic will be explored by Prof. Dr. Costa Nicolopoulos, BDS cum laude, FFD(SA)MFOS, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon in the UAE, and

Dr. Petros Yuvanoglu from Greece. This innovative approach relies on specialized drills that densify the bone rather than removing it, resulting in more stable implant sites and accelerated healing.

Commenting on this breakthrough, Prof. Costa Nicolopoulos stated: “Once again, DWDM 2025 will be at the forefront of dentistry, where we will be presenting a workshop on the revolutionary innovation of Osseodensification Implant Drilling Technology.”
