The Nepalese Society of Implant Dentistry (NSID) organized a conference ‘International Implantology Congress 2018’ on April 7 and 8, on the theme of ‘Broadening Horizon’ at Hotel Yak and Yeti, Kathmandu. Thirteen acclaimed speakers from Brazil, South Africa, Germany, Serbia, Thailand, India and Malaysia shared their views on the latest science and ways to provide better care to dental patients. Some of the more renowned speakers were Prof. Dr. Mauricio Araujo from Brazil and Prof. Dr. Alesksa Markovic from Serbia.

 

“The conference was organized with an aim to exchange ideas on the latest technology and developments in implantation,” Dr Neil Pande, president of NSID, told APEX. “Implan­tation is one of the best methods in dentistry. It’s been 13 years since some of us started using it here and it’s time for more Nepali dentists to adopt it”.

 

The conference was attended by more than 175 dental surgeons and experts from around the world. It was the first conference of its kind in Nepal and it is expected that it’d be of immense benefit to the profession of dentistry. Some of the major actors in implantology par­ticipated in the conference and provided their insight on the technique. APEX BUREAU
