VIENNA, Austria: EAO President Dr Alberto Sicilia Felechosa took the stage at the opening ceremony of the 27th Annual Scientific Meeting of the EAO and welcomed the attendees, many of whom have travelled from far to Vienna to attend the congress. “We worked very hard to make this happen and are more than happy to see you here,” he said in officially announcing the start of the congress.
Following this, the induction of Prof. Christoph Hämmerle as an EAO honorary member took place. The honorary membership is the highest award that the EAO can bestow on individuals who have contributed greatly both to the science of implant dentistry and to the association. Only five individuals have received this recognition. Felechosa said that he was “delighted to present this award” to Hämmerle in acknowledgement of his outstanding efforts. “The EAO is close to my heart. I have great memories with great people,” Hämmerle said as he accepted his award to a standing ovation.
Afterwards, the moderator of the main scientific programme, Steward Freeman, was introduced to the audience. He then gave an overview of the programme and highlights for the next three days.
A “time machine video”, as Freeman called it, introduced the EAO congress scientific committee, who took the viewers through the culturally rich and eventful history of Vienna. Chairman Prof. Ronald Jung and co-chairmen Prof. Georg Mailath-Pokorny and Dr Michael Payer then entered the stage for their addresses. In conveying their experience of compiling the programme, Jung said, “The three of us started with one dream: making the most successful and most amazing congress happen.”
Mailath-Pokorny and Payer ended the ceremony with short speeches, before continuing with the opening session for the live treatment sessions. These will stretch over the course of the next three days and include live surgeries and follow-up care as a major highlight of the EAO 2018 scientific programme.
