ORLANDO, Fla., USA: For 40 years, the ICOI has been educating clinicians on implant dentistry, along with all the innovations, complications and controversies that go with it. The ICOI World Congress, held recently, honored that history and looked back at where this one fledgling “study club” came from.

What once was run from the office of ICOI co-chair Dr. Kenneth Judy now occupies an entire floor of an office building in Upper Montclair, N.J. What once started as a small group of clinicians has now grown to encompass more than 13,000 dues-paying members and spans all continents except for Antarctica.

World Congress XXIX was created and prepared by Dr. John Russo and included a diversified and international faculty. Some of the topics covered included cone-beam CT diagnosis and treatment planning; the use of growth factors including stem cells; digital impressions from the perspectives of the clinician and the laboratory; and diagnosing, preventing and treating soft-tissue esthetic complications.

In addition, there were more than 100 implant dentistry-related exhibitors in the exhibit hall to show off the newest and most advanced products and technology.
