This year’s Swedental Dental Congress, taking place in the Swedish city of Gothenburg from November 13 to 15, 2024, promises to be an unforgettable event. Not only will the congress offer exciting updates with groundbreaking lectures and product innovations for dentists and dental care professionals, but Swedental will also be celebrating its 60th anniversary! Get ready for a fantastic combination of learning, networking, and celebration. You can also follow exciting discussions about the innovative antibacterial Lumoral technology.

“We at Lumoral are thrilled about this year’s congress,” says Helen Huttunen, who is responsible for Lumoral in Sweden. “The theme this year highlights the products and people who’ve revolutionized dental care. Lumoral is proud to be part of this legacy!”

Innovations and Inspiration

One of the significant figures being celebrated this year is Swedish pioneer Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark, whose invention of the dental implant in the 1960s has transformed millions of lives worldwide. Today, dental implants help people replace missing teeth, with demand growing yearly. Per-Ingvar Brånemark’s contributions will be honoured during the congress, recognizing the vital role of research and innovation in improving oral health.

“This year, Innovation Square will also be introduced, where cutting-edge products that make a real difference in people’s lives will be presented. Every company must show how their innovations benefit dental patients, and we can not wait to see what is on display!” Huttunen says.

Lumoral – The Future of Oral Health

One of the standout innovations on the stage this year is Lumoral.

“The benefits of Lumoral for patients are incredible—on a scale comparable to the breakthrough of penicillin,” says Huttunen.

“As times change, so do bacteria. They’re always adapting, learning how to survive and outsmart treatments. While antibiotics have saved countless lives, the rise of antibiotic resistance is a growing challenge. That’s where Lumoral steps in.”

In Europe, where the issue of resistant bacteria is particularly concerning, the Nordic countries have been proactive, taking a cautious approach to prescribing antibiotics. This has contributed to better oral health across the region.

“Sweden has led the way in antibiotic stewardship, which has allowed us to handle the threat of resistance much better. But as bacteria continue to evolve, the need for preventive dental care is more important than ever,” Huttunen explains. “And that is exactly where Lumoral comes into play.”
