About Innovations in Periodontics

There will be two Innovations in Periodontics sessions at the Annual Meeting. Each session will consist of four speakers addressing innovations and advances in clinical periodontics, basic sciences or related subjects. Each speaker will give a 15-minute presentation, followed by a 5-minute question-and-answer period.

NOTE: This is NOT a call for the Research Forum Poster session. Abstracts for the Research Forum may be submitted during the first quarter of 2010. Instructions regarding abstract submission will be posted on the Academy’s Web site at that time.
