Innovations in Periodontics
Abstract Submission Has Now Closed for Innovations
These 1.5-hour sessions offer presentations that address innovations and advances in clinical periodontics, basic sciences or related subjects. Each session consists of four individual speakers who give 15-minute presentations on a very specific topic, followed by a 5-minute question-and-answer period. Speakers are selected by a blind review of abstracts submitted to the Academy.
