According to Mariano Sanz, president of the Osteology Foundation, modern digital media will also play a special role at the event. The countdown has begun…
There's not long to go: the International Osteology Symposium 2016 will be held once again from April 21-23. For two days, Monaco will be the place to be for implant specialists, maxillofacial surgeons and periodontists, as well as for researchers and practitioners in general from around the world who share an interest in the issues surrounding regenerative therapies in dental medicine.
Final preparations are already in full swing. Over 2,500 participants from 60 countries are expected at the symposium, which is held every three years and for many is a notable event in the congress calendar.
The open issues
The scientific chairs of the congress, Professor Friedrich W. Neukam from Germany and Professor Myron Nevins from the USA, have put together an outstanding scientific programme under the motto ‘Learning the WHY and the HOW in regenerative therapy’, which address the many open questions that dentists still face in their daily practice routine.
In the run up to the symposium, Professor Neukam said:
"The Osteology Foundation and the International Osteology Symposium in Monaco have, in the meantime, become a standard – a standard worldwide for regenerative measures in the oral cavity.”
As Professor Nevins explained:
"No fewer than 85 internationally renowned speakers will try to answer as many questions as possible, with the aim to give practitioners the relevant knowledge for their daily practice routine as well as the confidence to provide their patients with the best possible treatment".
In presentations and discussions, experts will discuss the topics and questions surrounding regenerative therapies based on evidence from research, as well as study data and experience from master clinicians. Symposium participants will also have the opportunity to contribute their own experience as part of interactive sessions, thus encouraging discussion.
Hands-on training
A highlight at the International Symposium is always provided by the numerous workshops held by the Osteology Foundation and by partners that take place as part of the pre-conference sessions and look at a variety of topics, from soft tissue augmentation through to digital implant planning. Some final spaces are still available. We recommend registering as soon as possible.
Looking ahead
The president of the Osteology Foundation, Professor Mariano Sanz, has announced that in the future, the foundation will promote the use of modern digital media as well as its geographical expansion in furthering scientific research and clinical practice. What this exactly entails will also be revealed at the Osteology Symposium in Monaco.
According to Professor Sanz:
"We have prepared a number of exciting items, and will also already be using online media more intensively during the conference in order to better integrate research and practice with one another". He urges his colleagues: "Be there in Monaco in April, when we open ‘The BOX’ for practitioners and researchers in oral regeneration– it's certainly something to look forward to!"
