29th IAPD Congress - Just Around The Corner!

June 14-17, 2023, Maastricht, The Netherlands

We cannot wait to welcome you to the 29th IAPD Congress this year. Early bird registrations have now closed. Finalize your registration, we would love to know whether you’ll be joining us.

In the Netherlands, IAPD 2023 will give you the opportunity to gather with over 1,200 delegates from more than 78 countries, in order to discover the latest research findings in different fields of paediatric dentistry, as well as network with the specialty’s top academics and practitioners.

We are proud of the program that we have put together. The main program will include several plenary sessions on how we can join forces in prevention and behavior change; caries management; fighting the battle on sugars; multidisciplinary care of oral anomalies in children; and tackling oral health inequalities.

We have planned 15 different symposia (in parallel sessions of three) with a broad variety of topics. We are going to hear about the role of parenting and family factors in the prevention of childhood dental caries, about ethical issues in paediatric dentistry, and about various public health strategies from all continents in the world on how to improve children’s oral health.

But of course, new insights will also be shared on important clinical topics, such as oral traumatology, erosion, orthodontics, endodontics, dental materials and behavioural management.

It’s not just about the science…

From live entertainment, dancing, local heritage sites, and a tulip themed dinner, participating in the social events will allow you the perfect opportunity to network with peers from across the world; familiar faces and some new.

Social program tickets can be purchased during the registration process

Spotlight on IAPD Consensus Recommendations

Have you read the IAPD recommendation on Dental Anomalies yet?

This month we are highlighting the IAPD Consensus Recommendation on Dental Anomalies. As a pediatric dentist, you understand that early diagnosis and management of dental disorders is critical for lifelong oral health. Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI), a genetic condition affecting dental enamel, can cause a range of symptoms in children, including sensitivity, aesthetic concerns, and difficulties eating. Diagnosis is typically based on medical and family history, and as a specialist, you are in a unique position to identify and manage these cases. Dentinogenesis Imperfecta (DI) is another condition affecting the formation of dentine in both primary and permanent teeth, with three distinct types and their own set of symptoms. Finally, dentin dysplasia is another genetic disorder affecting the roots and pulp chambers of teeth in both primary and permanent dentitions. Early diagnosis and management of these conditions is crucial to preventing further complications and maintaining good oral health. As a pediatric dentist, you are on the front lines of identifying and managing these complex cases, and your expertise is invaluable to helping young patients lead healthy, happy lives.

IAPD offers to provide a customized edition with your association logo to those National Member Societies who would like to provide to their members an endorsed copy of the IAPD Consensus Recommendations.
