Dear Participants,
I’m pleased to invite you to the 46th congress of EPA “EUROPEAN PROSTHODONTIC DEBATES” which will be held in an easily accessible Vilnius city. This year Vilnius is celebrating its 700th anniversary. So besides the exciting scientific program, you will be in the middle of so many cultural attractions dedicated to this occasion.
More than 50 international speakers who are key opinion leaders in their fields will present the newest advances in clinical prosthodontics and restorative dentistry. As the conference title implies, the debate format will be used to discuss many aspects, from treatment planning to solving complications. Digital dentistry procedures have become routine, therefore, special attention will be given to the successful application of digital solutions.
I’m looking forward to seeing you at the “EUROPEAN PROSTHODONTIC DEBATES” congress, where we will learn, debate, and socialize!
Congress will take place at the hotel Radisson Blu Lietuva situated in downtown of Vilnius, Lithuania. Vilnius is the Capital of Lithuania known for its Baroque architecture, seen especially in its medieval Old Town which is included to the World Heritage List of UNESCO.
Sincerely yours,
Prof. Vygandas Rutkunas
