25 EVENTS 5 TH IMPLANT DENTISTRY MEETING 2015 NATIONAL CAMLOG CONGRESS AUSTRIA, SEPTEMBER 17-19 SEPTEMBER, 2015, FUSCHLSEE The 5 th Austrian CAMLOG congress was held in the congress hotel Sheraton Fuschlsee with its beautiful setting in the forested mountain region of Salzburg Flachgau. On the Thursday morning em- ployees from Alltec greeted the first partic- ipants to the two workshops. The attend- ees had selected either the microsurgery course with Dr. S. Marcus Beschnidt or the workshop on the use of bone graft- ing with Dr. Stephan Beuer, M.Sc. The theoretical presentation was followed by intensive hands-on exercises, profes- sionally instructed by the experts. They enabled the participants to practice what they had just learnt using animal models. A number of techniques, instruments, and equipment were presented and could be tested. On the Friday morning a great number of expectant congress participants filled the foyer, spotting familiar faces, and obvious- ly feeling right at home in the comfortable atmosphere surrounding the Alltec team. In front of 140 specialists Alexander Jirku opened the congress, which promised exciting times thanks to the selection of is- sues covered and the presentations by re- nowned speakers. Dr. S. Marcus Beschnidt, Prof. Werner Millesi, Dr. Stefan Beuer, Prof. Gerald Krennmair, Dr. Hajo Peters, and Dr. Herbert Hulla provided a top quality pro- gram for the first day of the congress. Reports from customers formed a picture of a congress conducted at a superior level with very good presentations. Culinary delicacies and the opportunity to find out more about new products from CAMLOG from the Alltec employees en- sured that there was plenty of distractions from the speakers during the breaks. Twenty implant dentistry assistants at- tended a workshop led by Dr. Laurenz Maresch that was conducted in parallel to the scientific program. The materials tech- nology and administrative preparation for implant surgery, interaction during surgery, and support providing during exposure, im- pression taking, and cementing were dealt with in the workshop. Oktoberfest comes to Schlossremise The date and the proximity to Munich were certainly the key reasons for organizing an Alltec Oktoberfest party. In proper style in dirndl and lederhosen, the group walked or took the shuttle bus to nearby Schloss- remise, a magnificent location. Pierre Rauscher had the honor of opening the festivities by tapping the keg. The var-ious buffets offered a range of sumptuous Bava- rian delicacies, a succulent spit roast temp- ted all, and the beer flowed generously. A trio of musicians created a great atmos- phere, pumping out familiar Oktoberfest hits. Despite the late night, the hall filled again on Saturday punctually at 9 in the morning. The lecture program continued with more presentations. The very interest- ing specialist dental presentations by Dr. Claudio Cacaci and Dr. Florian Beuer were followed by a dental technical digression by Andreas Nolte. Prof. Rudolf Seemann provided a glimpse of an ongoing study of the true number of implant failures and the resulting inferences for surgery. The congress was crowned with a lottery with the first prize a weekend away in the luxurious hide-away Hotel Schloss Pichlarn. Children of participants played the role of the lucky fairy and drew the winner: Mr Andreas Radl, Dental Technician.We congrat- ulate him and hope he enjoys his prize. After a standing buffet, it was farewell to a great congress location, two impressive days of constructive discussions, fun festivi- ties, helpful input, and the pleasure of look- ing forward to the 6 th National CAMLOG Congress in Austria.
