Many members of our team travelled to Madrid to assist to the 10^th  Annual Meeting of the Associated Centres Network for Periodontics and Implants (CAPI, Centros Asociados de Periodoncia e Implantes), that took place on 5^th and 6^th November 2009.

The more than appealing scientific program included, amongst other topics, the latest breakthroughs in early diagnosis and treatment of peri-implantitis. Moreover, brainstorming seminars on clinical protocols and team building events make of CAPI's meetings an ideal framework for continuous improvement and represent a step forward towards our main objective: give our patients a premium care quality service.

Next CAPI meeting will be held in Oviedo in November 2010. This time Clínica Sicilia is organizing the meeting and is already preparing a high quality scientific programme aimed at improving professionals education with continuous updates on Periodontics and Dental Implantology state-of-the-art techniques

On 18-19 October 2009, Parador Nacional de la Granja (Segovia – SPAIN) hold the first European Workshop in Periodontal Education, organized by the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) and the Association for Dental Education in Europe (ADEE).

The meeting gathered more than 70 internationally renowned experts from more than 20 countries. Dr. Alberto Sicilia, Medical Director of Clínica Sicilia, was amongst the participants.

Resulting from this Workshop, four consensus documents have been drafted describing the epidemiological situation and the context of patient care service provisioning in Europe, as well as the academic guidelines in the university undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum, and also regarding professional education and continuing education in Periodontology.
