2nd EFP Perio Master Clinic March 3-4 2017, Malta

Peri-implantitis – From aetiology to treatment

 

The European Federation of Periodontology and the Turkish Society of Periodontology are delighted to invite you to the 2nd Perio Master Clinic meeting.  Due to the recent events in Turkey, the core Executive Committee and the Turkish Society of Periodontology have decided to move the location of the Perio Master Clinic 2017  from Istanbul to Malta’s Mediterranean Conference Centre.

The aim of Perio Master Clinic meetings is to bring together clinicians with the desire to improve their skills in clinical practice to the highest levels of excellence. The faculty has been selected from the leading experts and clinicians on peri-implant diseases.

Since implants became a major part of our practices, the incidence of peri-implant diseases is also on the rise, and in this unique setting you will have the chance to listen to and discuss with world renowned master clinicians  on diagnosis, prevention and treatment of peri-implant diseases. This limited attendance meeting will focus on peri-implant diseases, starting from the aetiology, down to the treatment modalities.

Hoping to share this outstanding experience with you.

Website

Located on the periphery of the historical city of Valletta, adjacent to Fort St. Elmo and overlooking the Grand Harbour, the Mediterranean Conference Centre is a 16th Century building formerly known as the ‘Sacra Infermeria’ of the Order of St. John.

The Mediterranean Conference Centre, with its special features, is truly unique. Away from the cluttered environment of high-rise meeting places and far from the din of endless traffic jams, the Mediterranean Conference Centre has all the benefits of ultra modern technology set in an oasis of historical tranquillity.

The Mediterranean Conference Centre boasts a total of eight halls over an area of 7,000 square metres. The halls vary in size and are therefore suitable for a range of events. The largest and most impressive, Republic Hall, seats 1,400 in theatre style whereas the smallest, La Cassiere caters for 60 persons.

Each meeting hall is equipped with its own independent sound, lighting and climate control. Conference facilities include permanent installations for simultaneous interpretation for up to six languages, ADSL, Wi-Fi as well as audio / visual equipment. The Centre can accommodate over 2,300 delegates in all the conference halls.

The impressive and imposing Republic Hall has been constructed in place of what once was the Main Courtyard of the ‘Sacra Infermeria’. Its large area, 728 square metres, is tastefully roofed over and has created Malta’s largest Auditorium. With a seating capacity of 1,400, this elegant theatre style hall is the largest in the Conference Centre. It is ideal for large-scale meetings or conferences and is equipped with theatre lighting and sound systems, audio/visual facilities as well as simultaneous interpretation for up to six languages.
