We are proud of the program that we have put together. The main program will include several plenary sessions on how we can join forces in prevention and behavior change; caries management; fighting the battle on sugars; multidisciplinary care of oral anomalies in children; and tackling oral health inequalities.

We have planned 15 different symposia (in parallel sessions of three) with a broad variety of topics. We are going to hear about the role of parenting and family factors in the prevention of childhood dental caries, about ethical issues in paediatric dentistry, and about various public health strategies from all continents in the world on how to improve children’s oral health.

But of course, new insights will also be shared on important clinical topics, such as oral traumatology, erosion, orthodontics, endodontics, dental materials and behavioural management.

During the pre-congress courses on Wednesday June 14, participants are offered the opportunity to dive deeper into certain aspects of (paediatric) dentistry. Pre-congress courses provide an excellent opportunity for (paediatric) dentists or (post)master students to learn more about topics that are so very important in daily practice, but that can never be captured in a single lecture in the main program.
