Tabitha Acret brought a wealth of international expertise to Cape Town in March for an exclusive, full-day EMS Swiss Dental Academy training session. As an SDA-accredited trainer, academic at the University of Sydney and a clinician in a specialist periodontal private practice, Tabitha offered a unique bridge between rigorous academic research and real-world clinical excellence.

The masterclass went far beyond the basics, providing a deep dive into the latest evidence-based protocol refinements and the newest clinical studies driving the evolution of professional prophylaxis. Participants explored the systematic management of biofilm and the intricate link between oral disease and patient outcomes, all while gaining hands-on experience with the latest equipment updates.

By mastering the 8-step Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) clinical workflow, attendees are now equipped to offer the true gold standard in modern prevention - an approach that significantly improves patient comfort and long-term motivation across every dental discipline. It was an inspiring day dedicated to the science of a cleaner, healthier smile. 👏

By choosing a material with such a documented track record, you’re ensuring the predictable, high-quality outcomes that your patients rely on in your daily practice for years to come. 🦷

When it comes to defining the Sagemax standard, we can narrow it down to three powerful words: innovation, aesthetics and design. 💎

Innovation is found in the advanced material science of the Nexxzr range, pushing the boundaries of what zirconia can achieve. Aesthetics are at the heart of the Paint 3D system, allowing for that signature "honey-like" flow that creates natural, lifelike translucency. And design is the precision that ensures every digital workflow is seamless, predictable, and artistically fulfilling. 🎨

Sagemax is more than just a material; it’s a commitment to the craft of the modern dental technician.

They say teamwork makes the dream work and after the whirlwind of ADS 2026, we know that to be a fact!

While the stage was filled with global legends, the real magic happened behind the scenes. We wanted to take a moment to celebrate our incredible Ivodent team - the faces behind the late-night setups, the early-morning registrations and the seamless energy that kept the symposium buzzing for delegates from 14 different countries. 🌍

To our staff: thank you for the long hours and the heart you poured into every detail. You are the heartbeat of this company and we couldn't be prouder of what we’ve been able to achieve! 💙
