This year’s 45th International Annual Congress, which was visited by more than 350 participants, was therefore dedicated to the interface be- tween dental technology and implantology.

We already look forward to welcoming the participants at next year’s workshops and our International Annual Congress, which will take place in Munich from 30 September to 1 Octo- ber2016.Thus,youcanexpectaspecialOctoberfestCongressonthelastweekendofthe“Wiesn”.
