LONDON, UK: London certainly knows how to welcome its visitors and the city did not disappoint when the eighth edition of EuroPerio was officially opened yesterday at the ExCeL London Exhibition and Convention Centre in London Docklands. Accompanied by the London Marching Band, member societies of the European Federation of Periodontology paraded on stage with their national flags followed by musical performances by the New London Chamber Choir and Sheffield’s own folk rock band, Brave New Storm.

Visitors of EuroPerio8 can look forward to one of the largest conferences for implant dentistry and periodontology that has ever been held in Europe, EuroPerio Chairman Francis Hughes said during his welcome speech. According to the Kings College Professor, the event is expected to attract more than 10,000 professional visitors from the UK and beyond over the course of the next three days. “There is lots for the whole dental team,” he said.

In addition to Hughes, attendees of the conference were also addressed by EFP president Prof. Søren Jepsen, the president of the British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy, Michaela O’Neill as well as other EP members.

“I would really like to thank the many students from the various dental schools in London who agreed to volunteer at the event,” Jepsen told Dental Tribune in an interview.

Continuing from today until Saturday, over 100 experts from around the globe will share the latest information and their expert knowledge about a wide range of topics and issues in the field of dental implantology and periodontology. This morning will start off with a presentation on surgical techniques, implant placement timing and alternative approaches to periodontal treatment instrumentation. It will also see the world premiere of a new film demonstrating the relationship between oral and systemic health, which is supported by the Sunstar Foundation and will complement the Cell-to-Cell Communications saga by Quintessence Publishing.

Leading companies in the field of dentistry have also announced that they will showcase their latest solutions and products at the event. Among these are a couple of new products, such as a new implant from MIS Implant Technologies in Israel that promises immediate biological benefits for better treatment outcomes. According to the Israeli implant solutions provider, the V3 is a multi-use implant that is suitable for a wide range of surgical scenarios and is ideal in anterior regions, as well as in regions where space and bone may be limited and good aesthetic outcomes are essential.

Visitors will have the opportunity to get hands-on exposure to the latest solutions in dentistry by means of a number of sponsored sessions featuring clinical experts and researchers.
