Nobel Biocare Global Symposium 2013
June 20-23, 2013
Location: New York, Waldorf Astoria
Congress language: English
Great success in the "The Big Apple"
More than 2,000 dental professionals came together for the Nobel Biocare Global Symposium 2013 in New York. In the grand surroundings of the Waldorf Astoria hotel the delegates explored the latest developments in implant dentistry under the theme “Designing for Life: Today and in the future”.
A varied scientific program held over four days saw well over 100 leading professionals bring this theme to life as they imparted their knowledge, shared their experiences and presented the very latest innovative technology and clinical approaches.
Although the symposium has come to an end the work of the Foundation for Oral Rehabilitation (FOR), inaugurated at the event, is only just beginning. FOR has been established by Nobel Biocare to deliver tangible progress across three key sections: FOR Education, FOR Science and FOR Humanity.
Welcome note
Designing for Life: Today and in the future.
A very warm welcome to the Nobel Biocare Global Symposium 2013 in New York City.
The Scientific Committee and the Nobel Biocare team take great pride in their organization of an important scientific program. Our goal is to explore the boundary of science and learning in addressing the broad context of efficacious implant therapy for ourpatients’ dental life journeys.
To achieve this we have gathered over a hundred speakers and moderators from the international community of dental scholars and related health disciplines. We are confident that the program’s numerous and diverse presentations will enrich your clinical vision of bio-technological creativity that offers scientifically robust and predictable treatment outcomes for partially and completely edentulous patients.
We thank you for joining us and look forward to meeting you either during the meeting or during the social events.
Trust you are well.
