President’s Message

December 2023

Dr. Liran Levin, President, IADT

Dear IADT Family,

November was another busy month for the IADT leadership. The board of directors, committee chairs and members are working tirelessly to enhance your experience as IADT members and to continue our significant contributions to the profession and our communities.

I was humbled and honored to be a guest for “Dental Trauma Day” at the School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb, Croatia. This event is a student driven initiative aimed to spread awareness of dental traumatology. The school’s Student Section of Dental Traumatology organized the day with a congress, consisting of a dental splinting workshop, informative lectures on dental traumatology, and a roundtable discussion on the interdisciplinary approach to treating dental trauma cases. Inaugurated 3 years ago, this event is a great example how small groups can start big things. I encourage you to share your small and big successes within the IADT family (email us at: iadt@iadt-dentaltrauma.org).

Later in the month, the Officers and Directors had a full board meeting to discuss a variety of topics for the future of the IADT. Our President-Elect, Zafer Cehreli, is leading a team that is working on significantly upgrading the face of our website. I would like to personally thank Zafer and his committee for their hard work on this important initiative. Stay tuned for the launch of the new website in 2024. The Education Committee, led by Georgios Tsilingaridis, is preparing new “how-to” video clips that will serve our members and community in various aspects of dental trauma treatments. These clips will be available for you to watch later during 2024.

We have released the next lecture in our IADTube educational series. This new lecture on “Emergency Management of Intra-Alveolar Root Fractures” is presented by Professor Georgios Tsilingaridis. The IADTube series is gaining widespread traction with increasing number of members and other professionals viewing the lectures and sending us great feedback. We will continue to work with our exceptional lecturers who volunteer their time and expertise to provide high-quality lectures for us to learn and enjoy.

Don’t forget to register for the next World Congress on Dental Traumatology (WCDT 2024) in Tokyo, Japan, July 12-15, 2024. Registration is open with a great registration package that includes an outstanding educational program, pre-congress courses, highlight social events, and enlightening tours. The Congress website can be found at https://www.wcdt-2024.com/. Highly subsidized registration fees are available for students, dental hygienists and staff. You are encouraged also to submit an abstract and to share your dental trauma research, clinical experiences, and interesting cases by presenting a poster or an oral presentation at WCDT2024. This is a great way to communicate with colleagues and exchange valuable knowledge and information in the field of dental traumatology.

Sincerely,

Liran Levin
