The annual meeting of the Italian Section of the International College of Dentistry has been held also this year in the delightful venue of Villa Pomela, in Novi Ligure.
The beautiful villa, the gorgeous garden, and two wonderfully sunny days framed our 2011 ICD meetings, discussions and debates.
The organizers, the Italian Regent Prof Corrado Paganelli, and the Vice regent, Prof Mauro Labanca, welcomed the numerous guests involving them in a high level upgrade program in dentistry and in a peculiar day on the topic of team building.
Very pleasant and appreciated has been the presence of a special guest, Sydney Dov Sheldon the Israel ICD Regent but moreover the Editor in chief of ICD Globe who gave his high contribution to the congress and also the prestigious attendance of Mrs. Patrizia Gatto, editor of the Italian version of Dental Tribune magazine, and Mr. Andrea Peren from Italian Dental Journal. We had the apologize for absence from Mrs. Elena D’ Alessandro from The Elsevier Editorial Group.
Dr. Sergio Borra opened the meeting with a very involving and stimulating course, dealing with topics such as team working, what to expect and how to behave with your colleagues, how to bring out our maximum potentiality.
The welcoming speech of Prof. Giorgio Blasi, past European President ,started the second day during which we had the following speakers :
Prof. Andrea Pilloni, who spoke about nanotechnologies in periodontology; Prof. Carlo Guastamacchia, who lectured about ergonomics in life style and in dentistry; Prof. Massimo Pasi who gave an excursus on diseases of oral soft tissues, Dr. Stefano Fiorentino, layer, who presented some information about legal restrictions for the use of biomaterials. Last but not least Dr. Donato De Angelis, who gave an interesting oral pediatric surgery .
At the end of the lectures, we invited the candidates for the ICD to present themselves explaining what they knows about the College, their expectations and what they are ready to do for the College. Was a nice and emotional moment, where the candidates felt the importance of the college and had an anticipation of the emotion they will have, IF accepted as fellows.
The day was closed by the traditional black tie dinner, and the participants, very comfortable though formally dressed, continued their friendly professional discussion.
Also this year the purposes of the ICD were respected with a pleasant cultural exchange, many professional input, and most of all a meeting of people with the same desire to compare and share experiences.
