About the Meeting

Presented by the International Quintessence Publishing Group, publisher of the International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry, and cosponsored by the American Academy of Periodontology, this symposium addresses current trends in these dental fields, as well as implant and esthetic dentistry.

 

The symposium offers three cutting-edge sessions daily, presented by internationally recognized speakers. Participants can attend any sessions they wish.


Special Pre-Symposium Sessions

The 11th Symposium is expanded with special sessions—exclusively for the symposium participants—sponsored by BIOMET3i, Osteohealth, and Colgate-Palmolive. These special sessions are offered to all symposium participants at no additional cost.

 

In addition, a hands-on workshop is being offered at an additional charge. Participation is on a first-come, first-served basis, and attendance is limited to 40 participants.


Poster Presentation

A poster presentation will be held during the symposium to stimulate and recognize innovative clinical research in the fields of periodontics, restorative dentistry, and implant dentistry. The three best poster presentations will be selected. The awards for best poster include cash, refund of symposium registration fee, and more. For those who are interested in presenting a poster, detailed information appears here.
