AMSTERDAM, Netherlands: EuroPerio9 is the place to be for the latest news about periodontal health and its impact on overall health. On Wednesday June 20, the world’s leading congress in periodontics and implant dentistry will kick off at the RAI congress centre in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The triennial event is taking place from 20 to 23 June and is expected to welcome around 10,000 congress attendees from over 150 countries.

The organiser, the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP), has announced an extensive list of important topics to be discussed, including oral piercings and periodontal health, oral health and its impact on sport performance, and the role of nutrition in periodontal health. The scientific programme offers sessions on genetics, the oral microbiome, the role of artificial intelligence in disease modelling, trends in antibiotic resistance, new diagnostic tools and minimally invasive therapies, among others. The lectures will be delivered by some of the top experts in periodontics.

More than 1,720 studies will be presented in Amsterdam, including oral presentations, poster discussions and e-posters. The programme includes the EFP Perio Contest, for which single case reports were submitted, and the first EFP Photo Contest, with prizes to be awarded.

With presenters from Turkey, Brazil, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, Japan, the UK and China, among other countries, EuroPerio9 is a truly international meeting, where attendees can learn about the latest advances in periodontal treatment, discuss clinical challenges with experts and peers, and share best practices in order to improve patient care.

“EuroPerio is the ‘temple’ of periodontology and everybody must have a chance to express their views and to exchange their experience,” said Dr Michèle Reners, chair of the organising committee for EuroPerio9. “For the young generations, it is a unique opportunity to create a network with peers coming from all over the world and we want to stimulate this!”

“We tend to forget that keeping our gums healthy is extremely important for our general wellbeing and aesthetics, and that it therefore substantially influences our quality of life. We need, however, to be aware that preserving gum and oral health cannot not be taken for granted and needs substantial and continuous efforts both from professional organisations and from the population. The EFP has the vision of periodontal health for a better life, and we are happy to share it with everybody interested. I am convinced that, together, we can attain it,” said President of the EFP Prof. Anton Sculean.

To make navigation as easy as possible, the EuroPerio9 app has been developed and is integrated in the EFP society app. With the app, participants can create personal programmes, view all abstracts, chat with peers, vote in sessions, ask questions and much more. The EFP app can be downloaded from the respective app stores. Once installed, most functions are usable offline.

The EFP is an umbrella organisation of 30 national scientific societies devoted to promoting research, education and awareness of periodontal science and practice.
