An old adage says that the early bird catches the
worm. With so many different options, choosing the
right activity from the pre-congress programme may
be a challenge in its own right. If you attend the
CBCT course on radiation protection in dentistry,
you will be among the first up and around on Friday.
The course hopes to duplicate last year’s success,
with more than 100 dentists attending. Part 1 will
run from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm on Friday and from
6:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Saturday. Part 2 and the
final examination will take place on 5 March 2011,
at the 6 th BDIZ EDI Expert Symposium in Cologne.
If you do not require the CBCT course, you may
choose between three different industry workshops:
bredent medical, Sirona Dental and Camlog are all
ready to meet the challenges of oral implantology in
their own way.

On Friday, 15 October and Saturday, 16 October, BDIZ will be offering another CBCT course (Part 1) in radiation
protection in dentistry covering advanced technical aspects of digital cone-beam computed tomography, also
called digital volume tomography or DVT. This special course has been approved by the Chambers of Dentists
of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria and is a prerequisite for gaining approval operating a CBCT
unit. Approval requires, in addition to the theoretical expertise acquired within the framework of the Munich
course (Part 1) and by attending the presentations at the Munich symposium, a three-month practical training
period after the course. This practical training will be offered at the University of Cologne in small groups by
individual appointment. Part 2 of the course and the final examination will take place on 5 March 2011 at the
6 th BDIZ EDI Expert Symposium in Cologne. More information: www.bdizedi.org
