Saturday highlights include specialist endodontic practitioner, Massimo Giovarruscio, who will look at survival and success in endodontic treatment and professor of periodontology at the University of Leeds, Valerie Clerehugh, who will examine the connection between diabetes and periodontics and what it means for everyday practice. In total, more than 80

As well as the full range of clinical specialities, important areas such as effective record keeping, complaint handling, medical emergencies and dental regulation will be covered. For those seeking further

Even more choice in the exhibition hall and beyond The buzzing exhibition will

The 20ı4 exhibition also features the Innovation zone, where you can see new technology in action, as well as the Advice zone, new for 20ı4, which will offer free ı5-minute consultations with experts on career advice, practice manage- ment, employment issues, tax and finance and more.
