The audience comprised more than 50 postgraduate periodontists.

In Braila, Professor Anca Silvia Dumitriu, president of the Romanian Society of Periodontology, gave a course to general dentists about the importance of gum health, primary periodontal therapy in the day-to-day activity of the dental practice, and clinical manifestations of periodontal disease in systemic disorders.
