Perspectives in Perio-Implantology and Comprehensive Dentistry 

 

 

Overview 

The Hungarian Dental Association has again organized its traditional international conference in May 2023, Szeged. 

Our participants came from 25 countries, but this time again the domestic audience was the most represented. In the three days of the conference we welcomed more than a thousand visitors to the auditorium.

In addition to visiting 42 exhibitions from 48 companies, building relationships and self-development, the participants of the conference could even have the chance to drive a BMW.

Thursday 

• On the first day of the professional program, on 4 May 2023, for the first time in 2023, our program included a full-day training course for dental assistants and dental hygienists: together with the Hungarian Dental Hygienists Association we organized the First Dental Hygienic Symposium.
   
• The approximately two hundred colleagues participating in Thursday's program heard from five speakers about the peculiarities of the emerging profession in Hungary. Among the speakers were Prof. Andrea Mombelli, the President of the European Dental Hygienists Association, and Gitana Rederiene.  As part of the one-day programme for assistants, a small group of applicants were able to expand their skills in a hands-on training. 

• In the afternoon of 4 May, two dozens of dentists attended to the hands-on training: Professor Testori from Italy helped them to develop innovative and minimally invasive trends in lateral sinus lift and therapeutic alternatives. The piezosurgical approach could also be applied to anatomical models.

 

• On Thursday evening, the Hungarian and Turkish Dental Associations signed a Memorandum of Understanding.
