The focus of the conference, which,asthefirstofitskind,canalreadylookbackon 20 years of continuity, is the topic of “Tissue Re- sponse”–withvaluablebackgroundinformationand practicalsolutionsforlong-termstablehardandsoft tissuesindailypractice. The implant position in the bone and the type and geometry of the connection are only some of the as- pects that decide a successful integration of the im- plant restoration and hence the long-term esthetics. What role does the interaction between modern im- plantsurfacesandboneplay,andhowcantreatment concepts complement stable soft tissue support? This is the topic of the first surgically-oriented ses- sions of the Symposium.But it’s not only the surgery that has a direct influence on the long-term success of implant-supported solutions and healthy tissue conditions. Consequently, the basic principles of prosthetics also take center stage at the 15th DENTSPLYFriadentWorldSymposium. WhetherintheMarketplace,wherevisitorswillexpe- rience the concepts and solutions from the scientific program live and can actively “come to grips” with them in the hands-on training sessions, or in the Poster Gallery,which offers all attendees the oppor- tunity to present,discuss and submit their work for a PosterAward,scientific exchange is the focus of the Symposium,aswellasattheworkshopsonanatom- ical compounds for“Bone GraftingTechniques”and “SoftTissueManagement”,whichtakeplaceasearly asThursday.Therearemorethanenoughreasonsto takepartagaininthepractice-orientatedSymposium in 2012.“After this Symposium,visitors will be right up to date with dental treatment and implantological concepts.
