“Digital Intelligence Symbiosis” in 50,000 Square Meters: The 30th Beijing Dental Show Holds Four True Signals for the Industry

# Preface

When an exhibition concludes, what lingers first is always the scorecard — 50,000 square meters, over 40 countries and regions, nearly 800 exhibitors, overseas visitors up 17.69% year-on-year, and more than 160,000 total visits. These figures outline the scale of the event and serve as the report card submitted by the organizing committee. Yet for those long immersed in this industry, what is more compelling than the scale numbers are the subtle shifts quietly unfolding behind them.

What deserves closer attention is another set of details scattered across the booths — AI can design a single crown in about 60 seconds, domestic Eversmile® dental crowns have surpassed 50,000 units in monthly sales, and Besmile has secured the exclusive distribution rights in China for Italy's high-end implant brand, Lider. Each item alone is merely a company's progress, but together they point in the same direction.

When pieced together, the 30th Sino-Dental truly harbors four signals: digitalization is converging from standalone devices into a full-process closed loop, domestic brands are shifting from price competition to category positioning, internationalization is evolving from one-way export to two-way flow, and oral health is expanding from treatment to a full-cycle approach. Together, they substantiate the true weight of the theme "Digital Intelligence Symbiosis." Below:

## I. Official Conclusion: A Panorama of Key Events at the Exhibition

This edition was themed "30 Years of Dedication, Digital Intelligence Symbiosis." Post-exhibition data shows that the event gathered nearly 800 enterprises from over 40 countries and regions, with Germany, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Switzerland, and Russia presenting as national pavilions. Over 3.5 days, total visits exceeded 160,000, with overseas visitors up 17.69% year-on-year. 116 academic and technical exchange activities covered 470 cutting-edge topics, attracting nearly 30,000 academic participants.

Beyond scale, what better delineates the significance of this exhibition are several highly indicative on-site activities.

### Innovation Zone and National Competition: Two Outlets for Original Achievements

The Innovation Theme Zone gathered top domestic dental schools, showcasing over 20 original achievements. For the first time, intelligent robots served as on-site docents, presenting university lab outcomes in an "immediately understandable" manner to the industry, pointing toward deep integration of industry, academia, research, and application.

创新展区与全国口腔医学创新创业大赛

Echoing this was the First National Dental Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition — the first national-level specialized competition in the dental field, co-hosted by the Torch Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Management Committee of Beijing Capital International Airport Lingang Economic Zone, and Peking University School of Stomatology. It collected 51 projects, with 40 advancing to the semifinals, filling a previously missing "national-level interface" for the transformation of innovative achievements.

### International Exchange: From "Elite University Seminars" to "Belt and Road"

International exchange was a dense main thread of this edition: the Pacific Rim Elite University Alliance Joint Seminar brought together top institutions from Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, and China on the same stage. The International Medical Exchange Conference, led by Peking University School of Stomatology, focused on discussions about China's high-quality oral medical services "going global." "Switzerland Day" and "Japan Day" activities respectively brought high-end manufacturing concepts and clinical practical techniques.

环太平洋名校联盟联合研讨会与国际牙科产业交流会

More industry-relevant was the International Dental Industry Exchange Conference, which gathered representatives from Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Russia, Thailand, Morocco, and other countries, building a dialogue platform around "Belt and Road" oral market opportunities and China's supply capabilities.

### Academics, Market, and Public Welfare: Density and Warmth Beyond the Professional

Brand academic activities were equally dense: "Face to Face," "One Good Lesson," "Master Lecture Hall," "Healthy China Oral Implant Restoration Debate," and others ran in rotation. Overlaid with the People's Medical Publishing House Oral Book Reading Session, the "Oral AI Era" themed lecture, and the global tour of Quintessence publications, these formed a highly dense portion of the 116 activities.

品牌学术活动、"山中雏菊"公益项目、快闪市集

The "warmth" beyond the exhibition was carried by the limited-edition pop-up market (four functional zones, over 100 brands) created to honor the 30th anniversary of Sino-Dental®, and the "Mountain Daisy" public welfare project for children's oral health: the latter recruited volunteers and raised funds and materials, extending its influence to rural revitalization.

These activities collectively formed the official agenda of this exhibition. What they truly mean on a technological and industrial level, however, requires a closer look at the front lines of the booths — how technology is being "strung together," and what subtle yet replicable changes are emerging in the industrial landscape.

## II. On-Site Observation · Technology: Digital Closed Loop and Domestic Breakthrough

Stepping into the booths, the first more intuitive change is that digitalization is moving from "standalone devices" to a "full-process closed loop." In the past, adding a scanner or a printer was more about "tool stacking." At this exhibition, design, processing, diagnosis and treatment, and archiving began to be strung into a traceable chain.

The starting point of the chain is design. The AI design solution brought by Shining3D Tech Co., Ltd. generates a single crown in just 60 seconds, compressing a process that once heavily relied on technician experience and took "hours" into "minutes." When design shifts from "craftsmanship" to "algorithm plus process," efficient scenarios like chairside restoration and same-day crown placement become closer to large-scale implementation.

The chain advances to the diagnosis and treatment end. Zumax Medical Co., Ltd. launched several new products, including micro-digitalization and surgical navigation, focusing on "seeing clearer, positioning more accurately." The combination of microscopy and navigation is also transforming the reliance of complex operations on the surgeon's personal experience into a more replicable process capability.

The end of the chain is archiving. Xinuo Medical's personalized comprehensive treatment unit supports high-definition recording and capture, turning "chairside records" from a one-time treatment into a data asset that can be reviewed, used for teaching, and applied in doctor-patient communication — beyond "completing" the procedure, "preserving" the record is becoming a new value.

When digitalization is "strung together" on-site, another change becomes more visible: the competitive approach of domestic brands is shifting from "price competition" to "category positioning." Chenglian Laser Technology Co., Ltd.'s Eversmile® dental crowns have exceeded 50,000 units in monthly sales — a scale that itself is a strong testament to mass production capability and channel strength. Its announcement of a partnership with West China to launch a new removable partial denture product extends competition from a single hit product to the depth of industry-academia-research collaboration, signaling that domestic brands are vying for higher value-added category positions.

Quantifiable "hard currency" also emerged on the material side. BONANGA debuted Bonabone® collagen bone graft material for oral use, with cumulative global usage across its full product line exceeding 12 million cases. Bone repair materials have long been a stronghold for imported brands, and quantifiable clinical accumulation is precisely a compelling bargaining chip for local enterprises entering high-barrier tracks.

The "closed loop" and "breakthrough" on the technological front will ultimately find their echo in the industrial landscape.

## III. On-Site Observation · Landscape: Two-Way Flow and Refinement

If the previous section focused on "how to do it better," this section is more about answering "where the industry is heading." At this exhibition, internationalization presented a clearer "two-way flow."

One direction is "going global": six national pavilions and the "Belt and Road" International Dental Industry Exchange Conference are pushing Chinese manufacturing and services to broader markets. The other direction is "bringing in," and it reaches high-end segments — Besmile released the BioRes Rui Zhi Master original factory custom implant restoration solution and secured the exclusive distribution rights in China for Italy's high-end implant brand, Lider.

The weight of this exclusive distribution right lies in the fact that local enterprises are no longer just "OEMs" on the manufacturing end or "low-price competitors" in the low-end market. Instead, they are beginning to hold the channel discourse power for high-end brands entering the Chinese market. When going global and bringing in happen simultaneously, it often signals that a market is moving from "transactions" to more complex "division of labor."

At the same time, a more subtle undercurrent is rising — oral health is being approached with greater "refinement." Beyond the booths dominated by "hard tech" like implants, orthodontics, and digitalization, the consumer and prevention sectors are heating up. 松佰牙科｜CCDental brought the HERBADENT herbal oral care series, targeting refined care needs for different populations and shifting oral care from "one toothpaste for all" to segmented populations and scenarios.

COXO's new products turned their attention to the more upstream area of periodontal prevention, innovating to address the long-standing clinical pain point of "clogging" during sandblasting — seemingly minor, yet potentially decisive in making prevention experiences more widely accessible.

From treatment to prevention, from professional instruments to daily care, the industry's focus is extending toward "full-cycle oral health." This also gives the theme of "Digital Intelligence Symbiosis" a foothold that transcends the technological level.

# Afterword: The Next Journey

The 30th Sino-Dental has concluded successfully, leaving the industry with a rare mid-term review: the digital closed loop, domestic category positioning, two-way flow, and full-cycle health — these signals may be repeatedly validated over the next two years.

It is reported that the next edition will be held from June 9 to 12, 2027. From its first edition to the thirtieth, this platform has witnessed and accompanied the growth of China's oral industry. Standing at a new starting point after three decades, what it and the entire industry must continue to write is how to walk a steadier and farther path in the direction of digital intelligence symbiosis.
