DCEdental: the largest online dental CE directory in the world

This year’s Congress, titled “True North in Implant Dentistry: Taking Innovation to Clinical Reality”, brings together top dental clinicians from the United States and around the world. In the true spirit of the ITI, 28 clinicians will discuss current topics in Implant Dentistry, including anterior esthetics, new technology, immediate placement and load, and hard and soft tissue augmentation. Dr. Dean Morton will open the Congress with ‘Loading Protocols for Completely and Partially Edentulous Patients’.

Newly added will be an auxiliary session in conjunction with the parallel sessions on Friday afternoon, titled ‘Taking your Patient from Good to Great: Presenting the Implant Option from a Patient Viewpoint’ with featured speaker Ms. Lorraine Guth.
