Do our patients get what they deserve? Implants as a minimum standard of care

York 6th & 7th April 2009 Under the presidency of: Mark Thomason, Professor of Oral Rehabilitation, Newcastle University The conference will be held at the Hilton York. The first day will be a fully structured programme with a main theme of implant-supported prostheses. We will be revisiting the precepts of the Montreal Consensus Conference in 2002. Our speakers include Professor Jocelyne Feine from Montreal, the leader of the 2002 McGill Consensus meeting and Associate Editor of the JDR; Professor Ignace Naert from Leuven - (both recipients of The IADR Distinguished Scientist Awards for Prosthodontics) , Professor Frauke Müller from Genève, Professor Paula Moynihan, Dr Janice Ellis and Dr Cath Exley from Newcastle together with support from other Society members. The programme will allow us to reflect on the progress that has been made since 2002 and hopefully develop our own UK consensus. The day will round off with the Annual Conference Dinner. The Tuesday programme will consist of prize presentations, followed by poster sessions which will run in parallel with members’ presentations. In the afternoon there will be an education theme and in-keeping with the conference will focus on the appropriateness of delivering training in implantology within the undergraduate curriculum and will ask what can be gained from the North American Experience. The meeting will close with the Presentation of Prizes and the Inauguration of the New President. Further details are available on the BSSPD website www.bsspd.org.uk.
