82nd Congress, Vienna
The annual meeting of the EOS
took place in Vienna from the
4th to the 8th July.
The
Congress venue was truly
magnificent, and this was
matched by the weather which
was sunny and extremely
warm. Over 1,700 delegates
were in attendance to hear
outstanding keynote lectures
and oral presentations. The
postgraduate course given by
Bjørn
Zachrisson
and
sponsored
by
Dentaurum,
proved immensely popular and
was attended by over 260
participants. This was also the
case for the disco.
The following awards were
presented during the meeting:
Beni Solow: Pertti Pirttiniemi et
al., Finland; Sheldon Friel
Memorial Lecture:
Peter
Diedrich, Germany; Houston

orthodontic treatment?’.
The topics for the Congress are:
What have we accomplished in
orthodontics in the last 100
years?; Failure, relapse and
retention; IT and CAD/CAM
and free topics.
The social programme will
include the Opening Ceremony
