The Annual Implant Prosthodontic Symposium
Each year, IPS hosts a relatively “bloodless” meeting. It is a program dedicated solely to implant prosthodontic and esthetic training. As always, clinicians and laboratory technicians co-present on the main podium. Twelve years ago, history was made when ICOI’s Board of Directors unanimously voted to establish the first international section exclusively for implant prosthodontic education. At that time, Dr. Gordon Christensen commented, “the ICOI’s commitment and leadership role in establishing restorative and prosthodontic education in implant dentistry is to be commended. The education of general dentists, dental technicians, and dental auxiliaries in all areas of implant dentistry is essential to the continued growth of implantology and the delivery of excellent oral care to the public.”
