The programme for future EFP Perio Sessions has been announced and features weekly webinars from leading European periodontists on key topics in clinical practice.

Former EFP president Filippo Graziani (Italy), Virgine Monnet Corti (France), and Oly Nir-Shapira (Israel) will give live webinars on Thursday afternoons at 17:00 CET. The webinars will be recorded and published on the EFP’s YouTube channel.

The calendar of webinars is:
