The intended audience for this event includes:
The 35th Australian Dental Congress in Melbourne in 2013 is themed "Facts, Fiction and Fantasy". The three streams of the scientific programme will draw on a diverse range of presenters who will expand on these main themes with specialist and general practitioner perspectives.
In addition to three keynote speakers, there are several other prominent overseas speakers and excellent Australian presenters. Topics covered will include biofilm, dental therapeutics, fixed prosthodontics, endodontics, implants, radiography and contemporary clinical research. The Congress will incorporate a special segment supported by the FDI World Dental Federation and for the first time hands-on workshops and specific programmes for dental assistants and dental hygienists.
The Australian Dental Association will again stage a Dental Exhibition in conjunction with the Congress which promises to be the biggest and best held in Australia. There has not been an Australian Dental Congress in Melbourne since 1993 and dental companies are keen to display their expertise and large range of dental equipment and materials to the profession.
No Australian Dental Congress would be complete without comprehensive social and accompanying person's programmes and Melbourne will showcase the delights of Victorian hospitality starting with the Welcome Reception through to the several exciting events on Saturday night.
