AACHEN, Germany: Laser specialists from more than 50 countries are currently getting ready to travel to Aachen. Being hosted from 1 to 3 October at the RWTH Aachen University Hospital, the 16th World Congress in Laser Dentistry will offer them the opportunity to share, interact and explore with practitioners, researchers, educators and manufacturers.

The event, for which around 400 people have already registered, will see 39 plenary speakers from all different fields of research and clinical applications. Additionally, there will be 138 oral presentations, 89 electronic poster presentations and an accompanying industry exhibition.

“This will be the most successful, the highest scientific level, the biggest and most international World Federation of Laser Dentistry conference ever,” said Prof. Norbert Gutknecht, federation chairman. “This congress will integrate science and practical experience on different levels of presentations and demonstrations, including highly ranked international keynote speakers, on-stage live patient demonstrations, interactive digital poster presentations, oral presentations combined with relevant clinical skill training, short presentations on the latest research findings, outstanding clinical case presentations, rotating company-sponsored supporting workshops, and last but not least continuing education certificates.”

In addition to the scientific programme, the organisers have planned a welcome cocktail event and a gala dinner at Schloss Rahe, a German castle that is one of the most remarkable historic buildings in Aachen, situated only 3 km from the city centre.

While in 1988, there were fewer than 30 people worldwide exploring the use of lasers in dentistry, today there are hundreds of ongoing research projects and thousands of practitioners trying to improve the lives of patients, according to Scientific Committee Chairman Prof. G. Lynn Powell. “Come and learn from each other,” he encouraged dental professionals. “Come share, interact and explore with practitioners, researchers, educators and manufacturers from around the world.”

Registration details and more information on the congress can be found at www.wfld-aachen2018.com.
