EuroPerio10 – just one week to go

The long-awaited EuroPerio10 congress starts on Wednesday, June 15 at the Bella Center in Copenhagen – a global celebration of periodontology and implant dentistry that will be attended by more than 7,000 participants from over 100 countries.

The main scientific programme features 130 top speakers from 30 countries who will share their latest research and clinical techniques in 41 sessions taking place in four auditoria. Highlights include:

• three live surgeries with expert clinicians demonstrating different techniques in mucogingival and bone-regenerative surgery.
• the "world premiere" of the EFP's clinical practice guideline on treating stage IV periodontitis, about to be published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology.
• four sessions on the implementation of the previous EFP guideline, on stages I-III periodontitis, which is having a major impact in improving patient care.
• two “nightmare sessions” – one on periodontitis treatment, the other on dental implants – in which clinicians talk about surgeries and procedures that did not go according to plan and how they handled the resulting problems.
• Interdisciplinary sessions involving both other medical specialities (cardiology, endocrinology, and neurology) and other dental disciplines (endodontics, orthodontics, prosthodontics, and digital dentistry).
• A focus on sustainability, including the keynote speech on the opening day given by Professor Katherine Richardson Christensen, who chaired the Danish commission on climate-change policy.
