Exciting programme On Thursday, the congress will open with a plenary session giving an overview on protocols of implant placement procedures from standard to advanced. In the subsequent diagnosis session, aesthetic diag- nosis as a keystone of treatment planning in implant dentistry will be discussed. The plenary main ses- sions during the following two days including a se- ries of interactive debates will further focus on the evolution of implant prosthodontics, diagnosis and treatment planning in implant dentistry in light of the prevalence of peri-implant diseases. In the arena sessions, key topics will be explored in which 25 years of implantology are analysed to answer the question “How far have we come?”. Amongst others, the evolution of bone regenera- tive protocols in implant dentistry will be illustrated, insights into surgical approaches to the treatment of peri-implantitis will be given and alternatives to titanium as an implant material and custom-made implants will be discussed. Further questions posed will concern the limitations of immediate implant placement and immediate restoration and the treat- ment of patients with hopeless implants. A highlight of this year’s congress will be the in- teractive surgical video sessions featuring in-depth discussions of videos showing surgical cases. In these video sessions, participants can experience the treatment of the anterior maxilla with deficient availability of bone, the treatment of peri-implant soft tissue deficiencies in the anterior maxilla and learn about biological and clinical keys for periodon- tal, bone and peri-implant regeneration. Exchange new research results In addition to the lectures, researchers and cli- nicians are encouraged to present, discuss and exchange new research results within the field of implant therapy and related disciplines via submis- sion of scientific abstracts. During the numerous oral communication sessions starting on Thursday, delegates can attend short oral presentations held by authors whose abstracts were rated highest by the Abstract Committee. Prosthodontics and aesthetic international jour- ney sessions will focus amongst others on the role of provisional restorations in aesthetic implant-sup- ported prosthetic rehabilitations and the combina- tion of dental implants and orthodontic therapy in the functional rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients. Another session will discuss the question of how to avoid nightmares when restoring the edentulous upper jaw. Further sessions for clinicians and technicians will focus on materials of choice for anterior restorations and the widely discussed question of analogue vs digital. The scientific programme is rounded off by hands-on sessions organised by industry partners promoting new techniques and offering high-level practical training under the guidance of renowned experts. In these industry symposia, visitors can learn more about key subjects of various industry partners featuring new research and innovation. Invited region is Latin America Since its inception in the late 1980s, the EAO has been a forum for European researchers and clini- cians. In recent years, increasing numbers of mem- bers from non-European countries have joined— from South/Central America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Asia. As a mark of recognition and appreciation of this development, and because both SEPES and SEPA have members from this re- gion, the EAO has chosen to welcome Latin America as a guest region during the joint meeting. Delegates from Latin America are be offered registration fees at discounted rates which are normally reserved for members only. In addition, a section of the exhibition area will be dedicated to a “Latin American Corner” where re- gional associations can showcase their activities. Cultural events will also be organised to encourage exchange and networking between delegates from different countries._ contact EAO Office 38 rue Croix des Petits Champs 75001 Paris, France Tel.: +33 1 42366220 info@eao.org www.eao.org events | implants 3 2017 55
