Style Italiano Endodontics (SIE) with it’s almost 200K members is currently the biggest group of dentists in the world of social media. Given the strong brand name and wide public acceptance, every SIE educational activity becomes the event of the year in every location held. After the big success of the 1st SIE Congress in Greece in Thessaloniki, its time for Athens to host this year’s mega event. In 18 lectures and 33 workshops, more than 30 lecturers from around the globe, gold and silver members of Style Italiano Endodontics and professors of Universities along with top notch clinicians are going to share their knowledge and clinical expertise to more than 500 participants.

The tittle of the Congress is “Teach me how to”. The feedback from congresses around the world is that dentists crave to be trained in modern hands-on courses. They want to attend informative lectures as well so that they return to their clinics wiser and ready to start working with new techniques and materials. This is why this year we will focus on the Root to Crown approach. All aspects of this subject, from diagnosis to permanent restoration are going to be covered thoroughly. The motto of the group is "feasible, teachable, repeatable". In addition to the scientific program, the workshops will not only be addressing Endodontics but will include modern restoration techniques, use of lasers, management of periodontal tissues, etc and give the chance to the participants to improve their clinical skills and to interact with key opinion leaders.

During coffee breaks and in order to ensure dentists make the most out of their time many sponsors will hold in booth training and demonstrations. Another innovation this year will be the fact that the Expo will be open for all dentists, free of charge, on Friday afternoon. Free lectures will be available to everyone to attend during this pre-congress afternoon.

All Congress attendants will also get the option of free on demand viewing of all lectures two months post congress, thus maximising the attendance of the hands-on courses. Moreover, all of the sponsors will be invited to the pre-dinner cocktail party and those willing to attend the Gala dinner will have to book their seat via the congress secretariat. Both social events will take place in the same venue with the congress.

We look forward to welcoming you all in this year’s mega event. Yours sincerely,

Konstantinos Kalogeropoulos

President of the Organising committee
