ChairsideCAD, available from exocad, is the choice of software for leading manufacturers of dental CAD/CAM systems, according to the company, and it has been selected as a Cellerant Best of Class Technology Award recipient in 2019 and 2020.

“We are entering a new era in dentistry — one that will change how we diagnose, treat and manage our patients and practices,” said Dr. Lou Shuman, CEO of Cellerant and founder of the Best of Class Technology Awards. “This was a breakthrough year in product and services technologies. The panel spent hundreds of hours in close discussion reviewing and analyzing the corporate landscape. Pay close attention to our winners as they are truly leading the way to provide you what is best in today’s contemporary practice.”

With exocad’s ChairsideCAD, clinicians have the freedom to choose the best hardware and software for same-day dentistry regardless of the product or system they prefer. This is a groundbreaking evolution, according to the company, since historically the industry has been limited to specific workflows and specific hardware/software working together and adhering to a more closed architecture.

Derived from exocad DentalCAD, a signature software solution within the dental laboratory marketplace for more than a decade, ChairsideCAD includes dentalshare, a powerful collaboration tool for clinicians and labs, according to the company.

“We are honored to receive this prestigious industry award from our clinical audience. With exocad ChairsideCAD, clinicians can access labs, design and production centers with freedom of choice,” said Larry Bodony, president of exocad America. “With this open and flexible workflow, clinicians can maximize their return on investment as well as valuable chair time.”

“Our goal is to help the doctor make the best decisions for their office, which, in the end, benefits the patients that we all serve,” said John Flucke, DDS, Best of Class panel member. “I’m honored to be able to help my peers with the decision-making process and helping them wade through the plethora of high-tech products that can change offices and lives for the better.”

Bodony said, “Having received the Best of Class Award from the Cellerant Company and recognition from their exclusive panel of experts is truly an honor.”

SCHAAN, Liechtenstein: Under the motto “Travel, learn, connect”, the Ivoclar Summer School will return this year. First launched in 2022, the international education programme for dental students is expected to bring together more than 100 participants in ten countries. Over five days, students will gain insights into current products, technologies and clinical workflows through both theory and practice.

Clinical practice, digital dentistry and soft skills

The summer schools will take place between June and August in Asia, Europe, and Central and South America. The programme is designed to prepare students for treating their first patients, covering clinical steps from taking a patient history to carrying out treatment. It will focus on topics that are often not part of university curricula, including digital dentistry, aesthetics and soft skills. The daily programme will include full-day workshops, expert lectures and a supporting social programme.

Dates and locations at a glance:

The Ivoclar Summer School is aimed at students who have already acquired basic practical skills.

Bogotá, Colombia: 22–26 June
Delhi, India: 29 June–3 July
Schaan, Liechtenstein: 6–10 July
Lisbon, Portugal: 6–10 July
Mexico City, Mexico: 6–10 July
London, England: 20–24 July
São Paulo, Brazil: 20–24 July
Warsaw, Poland: 27–31 July
Berlin, Germany: 3–7 August
Vienna, Austria: 24–28 August

In selected countries, the Ivoclar Summer School will be held in collaboration with partner institutions, including Malo Clinic in Lisbon and King’s College London. The London edition made its UK debut last year.

Omar Burhan, a participant in the 2025 Ivoclar Summer School in London, said: “This week gave me more than knowledge—it gave me clarity, inspiration, and a network of peers who share the same passion. Dentistry is about precision, compassion, and lifelong learning. After these five days, I feel ready to embrace all of it.”

For advanced dental students

The Ivoclar Summer School will be aimed at dental students who have already completed their preclinical phantom courses and have acquired basic practical skills, such as changing burs or placing matrix bands. The course fee this year will be €290. It will cover five days of training, all materials and equipment required for the workshops, handouts, lunch, coffee breaks and a joint evening event. Travel, accommodation and any required visa will need to be arranged and paid for by the participants themselves.
