Dear participants and fellow dentists,

Welcome to the UAE International Dental Conference and Arab Dental
Exhibition - AEEDC Dubai 2009.

In 2009, AEEDC will take a major shift in its focus, as we are including topics usually not covered in our previous conferences, topics such as Para-dental professions, and business aspects of dentistry. We have also extended our hands to our partners in dental care,

the dental manufacturers and companies to get involved in the scientific program by having their own sponsored lectures, in a non biased scientific format.

We are also showing our support to the dental education community by
starting for the first time, the AEEDC dental knowledge competition, for the undergraduate dental students of the Middle East region. With the honorary title of AEEDC champion awarded to the winning school. In addition, new free communications forums will be opened for any postgraduate students to present their research, or case study findings.
We have also changed our social events to a new level of entertainment
and fun. We are bringing entertainers in different fields to perform for our gala dinner participants, and turn this traditional dinner to an event by itself.

Finally, I hope that you will advance your dental knowledge and expertise to a new level after attending our conference, and have a great time visiting AEEDC 2009 in Dubai.
