Sixteenth Implantology Symposium, Reception Draw International Crowd

Fifty speakers from 14 countries welcomed an international group of attendees at the 16th Annual International Symposium on Implantology May 14 to 19.

Participants and BUSDM faculty and staff members celebrated the week at a reception at The Fairmont Copley Plaza May 17, where guests enjoyed food and dancing.

Speakers included Senior Associate Dean Dr. Jeffrey Hutter and Dr. Zhimon Jacobson, director of the Center for Implantology and the Division of Continuing Education. Dr. Maria del Pilar Rios of Santa Maria University in Caracas, Venezuela, presented both Jacobson and Dr. John Cassis, program director, AEGD and operative dentistry, honorary degrees from Santa Maria University.

Jacobson created the annual implantology event in 1991 to bring together experts in what was, at that time, an emerging field in dental medicine.
