06 Dental Tribune Nordic Edition | 3/2016 BUSINESS World Summit Tour 2017: A novel experience in implant dentistry By DTI MÖLNDAL, Sweden: Next year, Dentsply Sirona Implants will be welcoming dental professionals from all over the world to the World Summit Tour, a scientific congress on implant dentistry. Ac- cording to the company, which is the world’s largest manufacturer of professional dental products and equipment, the combination of distinguished international speakers and a multifaceted pro- gramme render this state-of-the- art congress unique in the dental industry. Held on the premise that in- spiration and confidence matter, the interactive scientific congress will visit Tokyo in Japan on 18 and 19 February, San Diego in the US on 12 and 13 May, Nice in France on 23 and 24 June, and Shanghai in China on 25 and 26 November. The objective of the World Summit Tour is to inspire clini- cians and researchers to share their scientific knowledge and clinical experience and discover the latest developments in im- plant dentistry. Owing to the mix of international and local speak- ers, each two-day tour stop will be exclusive to the participating audience. This will give dental professionals the opportunity to attend a congress that is both geographically nearby and tai- lored to the needs of the regional market. In addition to general ses- sions, the programme will include hands-on workshops and various parallel sessions. Overall, around 150 speakers and moderators will be participating in the four tour stops to discuss the latest ideas, innovations and scientific data in their area of expertise. More- over, each tour stop will feature a poster competition in two cat- egories: clinical application and research. The scientific programme is being compiled by the interna- tional scientific committee, which consists of acclaimed scientists Prof. Jan Lindhe (Sweden), Prof. Clark Stanford (US), Prof. Chris- toph Hämmerle (Switzerland), Prof. Tomas Albrektsson (Sweden), Prof. Ye Lin (China), Prof. Meike Stiesch-Scholz (Germany) and Prof. Tetsu Takahashi (Japan).
