Implant community to gather in Madrid for EAO 2017

Organised in partnership with the Spanish society of prosthodontic and aesthetic dentistry (Sociedad Española de Prótesis Estomatológica y Estética), an association with a membership of 4,500, the conference is poised to attract thousands of specialists from all over the globe to Madrid. Spanning three days, the meeting will offer a number of high-class clinical lectures, hands-on sessions and industry symposia under the theme of “Twenty-five years of implant dentistry. What have we learned?”. According to the organisers, it will furthermore provide interactive opportunities for audience involvement, such as surgical video sessions.

Overall, more than 50 clinical experts from all over the world will be speaking at this year’s event. Among them are prominent figures in dentistry, such as Prof. Mariano Sanz from Spain, Dr Christian Coachman from Brazil and Dr Christoph Hämmerle from Switzerland. In the guest country session, clinicians from Latin America will be presenting their research to a professional audience for the first time.

While most of the presentations will be in English, the organisers have announced that there will be simultaneous interpreting into Spanish for some of the sessions.

Furthermore, a record number of 139 manufacturers and dealers (as of 21 September), including international heavyweights like Nobel Biocare, Straumann and Dentsply Sirona, have registered for the accompanying trade exhibition, which will showcase the latest innovations. Attendees will also be able to learn about the new products and clinical solutions in detail at industry symposia that will run concurrently with the main programme.

Founded in 1991 by leading dentists interested in osseointegration, the EAO is now a worldwide authority in the fields of reconstructive surgery and prosthetic rehabilitation. In addition to its large annual event, the association holds master clinical courses throughout the year. It furthermore offers members and non-members the opportunity to obtain a postgraduate diploma in implant dentistry.

Information about the 2017 congress and programme is available online and through the EAO SEPES 2017 mobile app, which can be downloaded from the iTunes Store and Google Play. The latest news from the show floor, interviews with opinion leaders, and impressions will be available at www.dental-tribune.com.
