This year marks a monumental occasion for the German Society of Periodontology (DG PARO) as it celebrates its 100th anniversary. From 19 to 21 September 2024, the World Conference Centre in Bonn will host this grand event, which promises to be both a scientific milestone and a memorable celebration.

The congress themed 100 years of DG PARO: interfaces of periodontology, will offer a comprehensive and engaging scientific programme coupled with a vibrant birthday celebration titled 100 years – 100 beats.

Professor Henrik Dommisch, president of DG PARO shares: “We are thrilled to invite you to Bonn for this unique meeting, where we will explore the interfaces of periodontology within general medicine and dentistry. We created an exciting, challenging, and highly varied agenda for the three-day event, and importantly, we would like to kindly thank our sponsor partners that helped to organise an unforgettable event.

Scientific programme highlights

The anniversary conference will focus on seven key interfaces of periodontology:

Periodontics and general medicine
Age
Regeneration
Endodontology
Orthodontics
Implantology
Cervical lesions

These topics will be discussed by internationally renowned speakers, providing a rich blend of theoretical insights and practical knowledge. Attendees can look forward to team days, master clinics, seven symposia, numerous workshops, and hands-on courses designed to enhance both their theoretical and practical understanding.

The conference also presents a unique opportunity to network with international leaders of periodontology. Participants will have direct access to experts in the field, making it an unparalleled platform for professional growth and collaboration.

The celebration extends beyond the academic. The social highlight of the meeting will be the 100 Years – 100 Beats party at the Godesburg, offering stunning views over Bonn and Bad Godesberg.
