Basel, Switzerland, February 14, 2014 – Only a few weeks to go until the ITI World Symposium 2014. The International Team for Implantology (ITI) is expecting more than 5,000 professionals from all over the world to attend the symposium, which will be taking place in Geneva,

The three-day scientific program focuses on the topics “Digital implant dentistry”, “Preventionand management of biological and technical complications” and “New approaches, challenges
and limitations in esthetics” that will be presented and discussed by approximately 40 of theworld’s leading experts in implant dentistry. All lectures are based on the latest scientific findings and the ITI philosophy of evidence-based treatment methods. The ITI thus provides allpractitioners, who are increasingly confronted with new products, techniques and technologies,
with useful guidance and information that can often be directly integrated and applied in daily
practice.
A pre-symposium corporate forum, a research competition, an industry exhibition and two
exclusive evening events complement the main program, which will be simultaneously translated into nine languages. The Swiss astronaut Claude Nicollier will set the tone for the congress and will be talking about his experiences in space in his keynote address.
“The ITI World Symposium is not only an ideal opportunity to get an update on the latest developments in the field of implant dentistry, but also to meet and talk to colleagues from allover the world and extend one’s personal network”, says Dr. Stephen Chen, Chair of the Scientific Program Committee. Given its central location in Europe, Geneva is easily accessible
and well placed for trips into the mountains and the Geneva region.
