Fig. 1: The 6th Laser Dentistry Congress of WFLD-ED will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece. For this reason, the congress logo is designed after the Thessaloniki “Umbrellas”, a famous artwork by sculptor Giorgios Zoggolopoulos. After almost 30 years, it is the foremost known organisation for laser dentistry. The European Divi- sion of WFLD is one of the most active divisions and had its fi rst congress in Nice already in 2007. The successful event was continued every two years and the cities that hosted it were Istanbul in 2009, Rome in 2011, Brussels in 2013 and Bucharest in 2015. With the moto “Bringing Laser to Sunlight”, the second largest city of Greece, Thessaloniki, is host- ing the upcoming 6th Laser Dentistry Congress of WFLD-ED, on 22 and 23 September 2017. The Congress Logo is a mix of the well-known landmark of “The Umbrellas” in Thessaloniki and the wavelength analysis of the visible spectrum. Thes- saloniki has been selected not only for the stunning views, the fabulous promenade by the port, the easy access via the Makedonia Airport (SKG), the wonderful culinary experiences and the numerous modern bars and cafes, but, more importantly, for the Dental School of the Aristotle University of 42 laser 1 2017
