The 2020 Chicago Midwinter Meeting was held late last month—and it did not disappoint! Whoever says that dental conferences are dying is certainly not talking about this meeting. There was a crowd in the exhibit hall every day and the educational courses were fantastic.
There are a few things I particularly look forward to each year at this conference. First thing’s first, this show is known for product launches. Many new products were introduced this year, including these:
I am also on the committee that selects the Cellerant Best of Class Technology Awards. Each year, I join Dr. Lou Shuman and some of dentistry's leading technology experts—Drs. Chris Salierno, John Flucke, Paul Feuerstein, Marty Jablow—to select the winners. This year, after hours of deliberation, we made our final decisions. If you want to know who has been identified as the best emerging and disruptive technologies of 2020, you will have to wait! The winners haven’t been announced yet...but you can see the 2019 winners here.
These are just a few highlights from the Chicago Midwinter Meeting. Fortunately, you don’t have to attend every single dental conference to have some of these technologies brought to you.

That's all for this editor's note—make it a great day!
