Berlin, Germany: The Berlin Dental Congress 2023, organized by the European Association for Osseointegration, is set to address key developments in the field of dentistry this year. With a focus on advancing digital technology, the congress aims to explore the growing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medicine, particularly in diagnostics.

One significant aspect of this focus is the utilization of big data, allowing dentists to assess individual patient risk profiles, similar to approaches used in other medical disciplines. The application of augmented reality tools, such as headsets projecting real-time surgical data into a surgeon’s field of vision, is also set to play a pivotal role, potentially becoming mainstream in dentistry in the near future.

Prioritizing Frail Patient Care

As the population continues to age, bringing with it an increase in comorbidities and associated risk factors, the congress highlights the importance of early identification and specialized planning for frail patients. Addressing the unique needs of these patients is paramount to providing effective dental care.

Peri-Implantitis: The Theme of the Battle of Concepts

A central theme of the Berlin Dental Congress 2023 is peri-implantitis. This complex issue, characterized by inflammation around dental implants, is the subject of ongoing research and discussion within the dental community. The congress will delve into various treatment approaches and associated questions while focusing on the significance of prevention.

Exciting new discoveries in peri-implantitis research are anticipated, with a particular emphasis on identifying patients at risk and developing proactive measures to mitigate the condition.

German-Speaking Program Enhances Engagement

In addition to these three main themes, the congress will offer a German-speaking program, making use of simultaneous translation for attendees. Notably, the first session, titled “Personalized Implant Dentistry,” will feature chairs from Germany and Austria. The unique blend of Berlin’s ‘Berliner Schnauze’ humor and Vienna’s ‘Wiener Schmäh’ wit and irony promises to make this discussion lively and engaging for participants.

The Berlin Dental Congress 2023, with its multifaceted agenda, serves as a platform for dental professionals to explore innovative advancements and enhance their expertise in the evolving field of dentistry.
