Perio 2005: Hot Topics in the Tropics - Aug, 5-6, 2005 - Cairns, QLD

The Executive of the Australian Society of Periodontology would like to invite colleagues from Australia and around the world to join us in 2005 for our biennial meeting. We are fortunate to gave secured three pre-eminent speakers. The combination of the quality of the speakers and the unparalleled location will make this one of the most memorable and enjoyable meetings held in 2005.
Dr Ira Lamster will be addressing:
The Oral Infection-Systemic Disease Relationship. What we know and how that knowledge will influence clinical practice.
Diagnosis and Diagnostic Testing for Periodontal diseases.
Controversies in Periodontology.
Dr Lamster is widely published and is keen to provide a stimulating and interactive educational experience.
Prof. Neil Meredith explains that achieving a consistently excellent clinical result is the result of the interrelationship of a number of parameters:
Surgical technique
One vs two stage
Implant design
Healing abutment materials
Restoration design
Prof. Meredith will investigate how these factors interact and explode some of the myths surrounding soft tissue integration.
STOP PRESS: Lasers in Periodontics!
Prof. Isao Ishikawa has agreed to come to Cairns to present two hours on Laser Applications in Periodontics. Prof. Ishikawa is current President of the International Society for Lasers in Dentistry.
The academic program will be first class and the hospitality and friendliness of the local people is one of the reasons Cairns is a favourite destination for travellers from all over the world.
Come and find out for yourself!
There will be a small trade show, a mid-conference dinner with entertainment and the delights of Tropical North Queensland at your doorstep. You owe it to yourself not to miss this one!
