The organization’s annual four-day meeting will include a variety of educational and scientific sessions in eight program tracks, covering a wide variety of topics, including dental implants, periodontal-systemic relationships, periodontal plastic and oral reconstructive surgery, regeneration and tissue engineering. Traditional continuing education (CE) courses, as well as hands-on workshops and clinical technique showcases, will be offered at the event.

“The 2011 AAP Annual Meeting is sure to be an exciting and informative four days,” said Donald Clem, DDS, president of the AAP. “With beautiful Miami Beach as a backdrop, this year’s program will grant attendees access to some of the most recognized names in the periodontal community. The wide array of continuing education courses along with the first-rate dental products and services being showcased in the exhibit hall provide something of interest for everyone, from dental student to experienced practitioner.

“I invite all members of the dental team to join the AAP in South Florida to learn about the latest and greatest advances in periodontology, network with dental colleagues and enjoy all Miami Beach has to offer.”
