Perio & Ortho: a preview of International Perio Master Clinic 2024 in Singapore

Prof. Virginie Monnet-Corti, scientific chair of International Perio Master Clinic 2024 gave us a sneak preview into the event.

Prof. Monnet-Corti explained what sets this meeting apart: "its focus on the unique combination of periodontics and orthodontics, coupled with state-of-the-art technologies and recent research findings." Adapting to current challenges, the event incorporates virtual elements for a global audience.

Here are her answers to frequently asked questions:

Why is "perio & ortho" an important subject for periodontists to explore?

Perio & Ortho are vital as both disciplines work on the same periodontal tissues, synergistically maintaining or improving periodontal health. This exploration is essential for patients with a history of Stage IV periodontitis, aiming to restore masticatory function. Through an understanding of the interactions between these two disciplines, the periodontist can better meet the needs of their patients.

Why would a periodontist want to travel to Singapore for this meeting?

Traveling to Singapore offers a unique opportunity to immerse in a vibrant, multicultural city while accessing world-class dental education, providing an international perspective on periodontology and orthodontics.

Are there cutting-edge technologies or innovations showcased at the meeting, and how will they impact dentistry?

The meeting presents advanced imaging techniques, new materials, and minimally invasive procedures, enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of orthodontic and implant treatments.

Are any new research findings or breakthroughs in dental science to be unveiled? How will this benefit attendees in daily practice?

New advances in innovative planning for orthodontic measures will be presented, pushing the limits for treating sequelae of stage IV periodontitis. Attendees will gain practical insights from exceptional clinicians.
