On 6th and 7th May 2011, the EAO held a consensus workshop on radiological guidelines at the Medical University of Warsaw, Poland, with 14 radiologists and clinicians attending from all over Europe.
A session about the consensus conference will be part of the EAO Annual Congress 2011 taking place in Athens, Greece. The programme features a morning session on Saturday 15 October entitled "EAO Guidelines for Diagnostic Imaging in Implant Dentistry 2011: Overview", presented by the Chair of the workshop, Prof. David Harris, from Ireland.
The purpose of the workshop was to update the previous EAO Guidelines for the use of diagnostic imaging in implant dentistry, including extending them to include cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
The new guidelines provide on-going support for dentists working in the field. They are written for clinicians but the focus is on patient welfare and patient safety. The new guidelines are to be published in a future edition of Clinical Oral Implants Research in a couple of months.
