ALL THE LATEST NEWS FROM THE EFP

EVENTS: The EFP's International Perio Master Clinic, scheduled to take place in León, Mexico on February 25 and 26, has been postponed until 2023 because of uncertainty over the Covid pandemic and the possibility of changes to travel regulations. In letters to faculty and professionals who had registered for the event, congress chair Alejandro García and scientific chair Anton Sculean said that although regulations in Mexico still allow meetings to take place and international travel is possible, “we do not have sufficient clarity about what the situation will be like by the end of February.” A new date for the meeting will be announced soon.

GUM HEALTH DAY 2022: The slogan for this year’s awareness day on May 12 will be “Treat Your Gums”. Event co-ordinator Moritz Kebschull said that "apart from our ‘normal’ gum-health awareness message that is similar every year (early detection, sequelae of periodontitis, etc), we will focus more than before on the intervention part. The motto is ‘Treat Your Gums’, both from an intervention and from a well-being perspective.” Prof Kebschull added that the campaign would “point towards our world-leading classification and guideline work and emphasize the important role of well-informed clinicians.”
