Facts about the 2nd Pan-European Dental Congress

(Istanbul, 4-5 of July, 2009)

More than 1 year has passed since 1st Pan-European Dental Congress that took place in Moscow in April, 2007 and seems that Organizers didn’t waste their time working hard on this project.  2nd Pan-European Dental Congress or just 2nd PEDC grew more serious and bigger comparing to the 1st PEDC. This time Pan-European Dental Congress consisted of 6 Clinical symposiums while 1st PEDC had only 3 symposiums.
The symposiums by the way were of high importance for the dental specialist, the Congress covered almost all dental fields: Periodontology and Conservative Dentistry Symposium, Implantology Symposium, Esthetic Dentistry Symposium, Endodontic Symposium, Prosthetic Dentistry Symposium and Management + E-Learning Symposium.Participants of the 2nd Pan-European Dental Congress were amazed by the level of Speakers at the 2nd PEDC. It was like a “Dream Team” of well known Speakers from all over the world: Dr. George Freedman, Prof. Elmar Reich, Dr. Arthur Goldstein, Dr. Antonio Signore, Dr. Ulf Krueger-Janson, Prof. Jamil Awad Shibli, Dr. Sven Hangert, Dr. Denis Lynch and many other famous doctors and professors. Not every day we can see such professionals under one roof and moreover at one Congress working together.The 2nd PEDC was attended by more than 700 dentists. Most of participants were Turkish Dentists but also dentists from neighboring countries also attended the congress as well as European Dentists.
After the Congress we managed to take interviews with some of the Speakers of the Congress and here what Dr. Ulf Krueger-Janson (Germany) told us:
 
 “I want to say thank you for the invitation which was big pleasure to be here at this Congress and to see how high developed dentistry now in Europe is and all of this lecturers and speakers which talk about modern dentistry. And this is a special effect of ERO-FDI which organized this Congress as well as IADP which was a big honor to be in this concluded society and I want again to thank Organizing Committee of the 2nd Pan-European Dental Congress.”So making a short resume of the 2nd Pan-European Dental Congress we can without any doubts say that this was a big success and finally seems like Europe will now have its own Regional International Congress like Asia-Pacific Dental Congress, Latin American Dental Congress and others.
 
At the Joint Closing Ceremony of both Congresses  in front of honored guests – President-Elect of FDI Dr. Roberto Viana and President of ERO-FDI Dr. Patrick Hescot  and in front of thousand dentists in the hall, Chairman of International Organizing Committee of the Pan-European Dental Congress Dr. Vladimir Sadovski has announced that 3rd Pan-European Dental Congress will take place in Kiev (Ukraine) in December, 2009.  Scientific Chairman of 2ndPEDC Prof. Alex Mersel (Israel) passed the baton of the Pan-European Dental Congress  to the President of Ukrainian Dental Association Prof. K. Kosenko .“Welcome to Kiev!” sounded as an echo in a big hall of Closing Ceremony.  
 
International Organizing Committee of the 2nd PEDC especially thanks National Organizing Committee of Turkish Dental Association for all their support in organizing the 2nd Pan-European Dental Congress.
