logo 17 • CAMLOG Partner Magazine • March 2018 COVER STORY 6 The scientific program After the welcoming address and opening of the scientific part of the congress by President Prof. Dr. Irena Sailer and President Dr. Ben Derksen, the kaleidoscope of lectures, presentations, and discussions will begin on Friday, April 27, 2018, in Session 1 with the topic of peri-implant soft tissue management. The crucial factors for stability, aspects of soft tissue transplantation, and the management of defects using minimally invasive techniques will be covered. Session 2 is devoted to the very topical issue of digitization. Have we really already reached the stage where we can speak of complete digitization in dentistry? Or does this sound more like wishful thinking, and we are still faced with numerous challenges? And what are the tangible advantages of digital implant prosthetics? Which new surgical procedures are feasible with the CAMLOG ® Implant System, the choice of optimal implantation time, and clever treatment concepts with iSy ® to achieve even better esthetic results: all this will be covered in Session 3 . Session 4 is devoted entirely to science with the scholarship holders of the OR Foundation presenting the preliminary results of their ongoing research. In Session 5 , the authors of the selected posters will each present their work in eight-minute short presentations. The motto of the evening is: “Let’s celebrate King’s Day!“ – In the spectacular ambience of the Gothic Laurenskerk, the only remnant of medieval Rotterdam, the guests will be spoiled with food and drink as if they were King Willem Alexander himself, who celebrates his birthday exuberantly with the entire population on this day, “Koningsdag”. A live band plus DJ will provide the appropriate festive atmosphere. The second day of the scientific program will start on Saturday, April 28, 2018, with Session 6 providing an informative comparison of the biological properties and tissue integration ability of “innovative” zirconium dioxide and “classic” titanium implants. In particular, the indications for CERALOG ® , the CAMLOG ceramic implant system, will be the subject of the presentations, rounded off by the presentation of the four-year results with CERALOG ® Implants. The fundamental question as to when and where “white roots” have their right to exist is the final part of Session 6 . As a result of demographic developments in industrialized countries, dentistry must also deal with the issue of aging populations. What are our options for edentulous patients? The “facts & fiction” of this topic, restorative concepts, and options for immediate restoration will be discussed in Session 7 . This will be followed by the award ceremony of the Foundation Research Prize and the presentation of the awards for the winning posters. At the end of the symposium, the scientific program in Session 8 will focus on complications and failures. Based on some practical cases we want to jointly learn from problem cases. To ensure that the participants learn even more effectively,
