Sir, social distancing measures are predicted to last for some time but networking and face-to-face contact have always been important in the world of dentistry. For example, picking up and trying on a pair of loupes at a trade show cannot be emulated over the internet. Ideally, the exhibition industry will return to its pre-COVID-19 status. Yet, social distancing may well become a way of life, and in that case it will be interesting to see the effect on the future of dental events.
