To this end, the scientific committee, chaired by Professor Irena Sailer and Dr. Ben Derksen, had put together an attractive two-day main program of current focus topics: soft tissue management, digital workflow, restorative concepts especially for elderly patients, ceramic implants and much more. Twelve hands-on workshops plus a theoretical workshop in English, German and Spanish as well as two workshops with simultaneous translation into Chinese left nothing to be desired to deepen a topic that was of particular personal interest. The additional symposium for dental professionals included important aspects for the team. A total of 57 speakers, moderators and experts from twelve countries offered an excellent mixture of science and everyday clinical practice with enormous practical relevance. The World Symposium also showed greatness at the accompanying industrial exhibition. 21 companies highlighted their products and solutions for oral implant and restorative dentistry. The Oral Reconstruction (OR) Foundation hosted its global symposium in Rotterdam and honored King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands by holding the meeting on his birthday – the "Koningsdag" on April 27. Rotterdam was thus enlivened by 1,200 congress visitors for three days, who flocked to the trendy Dutch metropolis from 39 countries.
