MEDIA ADVISORY, June 1, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- The ITI World Symposium "25 Years of ITI -- Changing the Paradigms in Implant Dentistry," which will take place in Munich from 18 -- 20 June 2005, is one of the key international events in implant dentistry. Featuring more than 100 world leaders from research and clinical practice, the Symposium is a key platform for the exchange and presentation of the latest findings in implant dentistry and results of current research.
The use of implants for tooth replacement instead of conventional crowns and bridges is one of the most important topics in modern dentistry. Furthermore, oral implantology is one of the fastest growing segments in the dental market.
The ITI World Symposium will certainly address many topics that are of interest to you and your readers. You will find the programme at http://www.iti.ch/symposium05/index.html
