Identex 2015 took place last month at the City West Hotel near Dublin to the enthusiasm of many dentists and the dental trade.

Hosted by both the Irish Dental Trade Association (IDTA) and the IDA, the show saw leading companies introduce new products and offer expertise in all areas.

Braemar Finance held a free prize draw on its stand and the winner drawn from the entries received was Dr Martina Petrickova, a dentist based in Finglas Dental Surgery, Finglas.

Dr Petrikova received €100 worth of Marks and Spencer vouchers.

Braemar Finance area manager Joe Biesty said: ‘It was a pleasure to attend Identex for the first time; it enabled me to meet many great professionals who I hope to build relationships with over the coming years. Our prize draw received many entries and I am delighted for Martina, our winner.’

Meeting vibes

Catherine Waldron, dental hygienist and membership officer of the Irish Dental Hygienists Association (IDHA), believes networking at Identex was a bonus.

She said: ‘Identex was a great opportunity to meet dental care professionals who have a real interest in improving their work environment and practice.

‘The attendees were friendly, positive and interested in the information I had to share. The IDHA was very pleased to be there.’
