In the dental world, few events compare to the International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne, Germany. For one week, this extraordinary gathering transforms the city into a hub of discovery and collaboration for dental professionals worldwide. In fact, IDS welcomes exhibitors from over 60 countries and attendees from 160 countries around the world, creating a space where ideas are exchanged, innovations unveiled, and where connections flourish.

Editor’s Note: This blog was written by Ultradent Products Founder & CEO Emeritus, Dr. Dan Fischer As we enjoy this special time of year, I find myself reflecting once again on what makes the dental industry so unique, so rewarding: It’s you. This year, like so many before it, was filled with hard work, growth, and challenges—and through it all, your dedication, kindness, and care have remained steadfast. I’m grateful for the ways you continually uplift your patients and the communities you serve. It’s no small thing to say that dentistry is built on these relationships and the respect we show each other, day in and day out.

During the first half year 2024, our teams at Ultradent Products were busy and thrilled to inform you regularly about our products, such as the brand-new Transcend™ universal composite or the pathbreaking VALO™ X LED curing light. We hope you enjoyed browsing through our regular newsletters and various articles on our Ultradent Product blog to discover all details about our product innovations.

As we head into another holiday season and year, this year stands out as it marked our 45th year! It is amazing to me how long ago it was when we started and yet, how recent it can feel at times. Nonetheless, we’ve come far in that time. I can remember when we were making one product, then a few, then dozens, and now, hundreds and hundreds!
