In the splendid setting of Venice, a city symbol of art and culture, Art Oral Day took place, a unique event dedicated to the world of dental technology. The event highlighted the deep connection between artistic manual skills and dental technology precision: a combination that, despite the growing digitalization of the sector, continues to represent the highest point of professional excellence.
Today, the use of new technologies and tools has changed the way dental technicians work, but the best results are still the fruit of expert hands, capable of skillfully combining knowledge and experience with fine materials such as ceramic. This is precisely the heart of Art Oral Day: a celebration of manual skills that machines cannot replicate. The event brought together internationally renowned professionals in Venice, united by their passion for dental aesthetics and the desire to preserve traditional dental art.
Excellent training thanks to the Masters of the sector
Among the special guests, Klaus Müterthies certainly stands out, a true legend in the field of aesthetic dentistry. With over 50 years of experience, Klaus has shared his knowledge in 80 countries around the world, influencing thousands of technicians. His presence in Venice, a few days after an event he held in China in front of more than 800 participants, added prestige to the meeting and represented a moment of inspiration for all those present.
Alongside Müterthies, the famous German dental technician Hans Jurgen Joit, known for his ability to blend tradition and digital innovation without ever sacrificing aesthetic precision. Hans, who considers Klaus his greatest mentor, has demonstrated how art can evolve through the intelligent use of new technologies.
The event also saw the participation of Luca Nelli, an expert in analog techniques, but at the same time able to use digital materials such as zirconium to achieve extraordinary levels of quality. His approach confirms that the integration between tradition and innovation can give life to solutions that raise the standard of the sector.
Among the most appreciated interventions was that of Abdou Bousbaa, recognized for his exceptional manual skills. His presentation won over those present for the humility and dedication he transmitted. Abdou was awarded the title of “Samurai of Aesthetics” by Müterthies, an award that testifies to his commitment to keeping the flag of dental excellence flying high in the world.
Art Oral Day: an event set in the precious setting of Venice
The beauty of Venice was the backdrop to a program of meetings and exchanges that provided unforgettable moments. Participants enjoyed a coffee break immersed in the greenery of the hotel's internal garden and an exclusive aperitif on the Grand Canal. But the most evocative moment was when Müterthies, a master not only in dental technology but also in figurative art, painted three paintings live, offered as gifts to the guests present.
The event saw the participation of industry experts from all over the world and consolidated the role of Venice as an ideal location for high-level initiatives that combine the magic of art with the precision of dental technology.
A heartfelt thanks also to those who could not be there
The Art Oral Day was also characterized by a moment of melancholy. Two highly anticipated guests, Spiros from Greece and Michele Orefice from Naples, could not participate due to personal unforeseen circumstances. Their absence was underlined by a long applause, a sign of esteem and appreciation from the audience present, who expressed the desire to see them as protagonists at the next edition.
Conclusions
Art Oral Day 2024 was a unique opportunity to blend tradition, innovation and art in a sector that is constantly evolving, but which must not lose touch with the manual skills and craftsmanship that constitute its essence. Venice, with its history and charm, was the perfect stage for this celebration of dental excellence, offering participants an experience destined to remain etched in their minds and hearts.
The event was not just a conference, but a true celebration of art applied to dental technology, an art form that combines passion, technique and beauty, and that Reox will continue to promote with pride and dedication.
