In February 2018, the Canadian Dental Implant Training Centre and Dr. William Liang proudly hosted the CDITC Implant Symposium.
This Symposium was a full day of education, led by five of the top Implantologists and specialists in our fair city.
Date: February 17, 2018, 8am-5pm
Location: the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre
Implant Dentistry is a fast-evolving part of modern dental practice and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Whether treatment involves single or multiple practitioners, improved outcomes can be achieved if all are trained in the latest Science of Implant Dentistry. This Symposium examined past and present best practices and how to integrate these new philosophies to better serve your patients.
Support the UBC Oral Cancer Prevention Program.
UBC researchers led by Dr. Denise Laronde focus on early detection of oral lesions, and deliver ways to manage and prevent the disease from progressing. Proceeds of this Symposium went to the UBC Oral Cancer Prediction Fund.
