Opening ceremony 

Robert Frank lecture "In search for a second earth", given by a distinguished Polish scientist. Aleksander Wolszczan has discovered the first planetary system outside the solar system. His finding was recognised by Nature as one of fifteen of the most fundamental (together with those of Einstein and Roentgen).

Science Transfer 

These events are offered to those scientists and practising dentists who wish to obtain state-of-the-art knowledge on listed topics. Events are free of charge to meeting participants. Those who do not register for the meeting can take part in science transfer, registering only for this event. Two symposia (5 and 6) are planned, one on Saturday afternoon and the second on Sunday morning. Simultaneous translation into Polish
will be available for symposia thanks to the support of the Polish Dental Association.

Scientific sessions 

All sessions will be chaired, and discussion is strongly encouraged
Oral presentations will last for 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of discussion. Only single projection will be provided as a general rule of IADR meetings.
Poster sessions will be interactive; the presenter - during the viewing - will be asked for a short presentation (3 mins), and be expected to answer questions put by the audience during discussion (5 mins).
