Renowned speakers explained scientifically proven surgical and prosthetic techniques and treatment concepts for daily routine in dental practice. The workshops provided excellent opportunities for a fruitful exchange between the speakers and industry partners. The insights gained then led to further in-depth discussions amongst colleagues on the following two days of the congress. Young generation One of the aims of the CAMLOG Foundation is to support young scientific talent. This takes place through the invitation to participate in the Research Awards and the chance to take part in the poster competition in which over 60 posters from nine countries competed this year. For the first time, the participants had the chance to present their posters orally. The well frequented Speakers Corner generated keen interest and while some contributors were already accomplished speakers, others were given the opportunity to present for the first time. CAMLOG Foundation Research Prize Wortha total of EUR20,000, theprestigious CAMLOG Foundation Research Prize was again awarded during an international CAMLOG congress. Publications were selected by the jury, which investigated the influence of Platform Switching on the changes in the bone and the success rate of immediately loaded fixed dentures in the mandible. The prize was awarded to young, talented research scientists who had published their studies during the two years running up to the congress. Ass. Prof. Dr. Salomão Rocha , Coimbra, Portugal, won the first prize. The second prize was awarded to PD Dr. Maximilian Moergel , Mainz, Germany, and third prize to Stefan Krennmair , Wels, Austria. Conclusion Yet again, the 6 th International CAMLOG Congress provided a successful combina- tion of top-level science, relevance to dental practice and a captivating mood. The congress brought a wealth of information to bear on current questions directly applicable for daily practice. Particularly fascinating was the exchange between experts, many of whom are successful in their own practices, as well as in research.
