The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology (DIOMF for its Spanish acronym) was created in 2011 in our school. Since then it has done significant work in the fields of teaching and research.
In the same period, its members have participated in several conferences and seminars in Uruguay and abroad. As part of this journey, in 2013 we submitted a proposal to the School Council regarding the organization of a congress devoted to our specialty.
This marked the organization of the First Congress of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology, held in May 2014, at the ANTEL Conference Center.
The congress had conferences and courses led by high-level international presenters. Within the congress activities there was a seminar entitled: “Trends in modern implantology: agreement and consensus”. Five study groups were created to work on the topics selected for the workshop.
The members of these groups worked together before the congress, selecting and analyzing the scientific literature chosen.
Each group had guiding questions that were answered according to the literature reviewed. The President and the Secretary of each group drafted a report and the Scientific Evaluator recorded their observations in a report.
The conclusions of the five working groups were presented at the congress, and Dr. Luis Guzzetti was in charge of writing the final report.
The Department of Oral Implantology continued to work on the proceedings of the workshops, and drafted the papers presented in this special issue of Odontoestomatología. Their objective was to be faithful to what was discussed and developed in each workshop, without this necessarily reflecting the opinion of the Department.
Two papers that include research conducted at the Department, and a clinical case of rehabilitation with implant-supported orbital prosthesis, complement the issue.
We believe that reading this issue is a contribution to the scientific community and to the general public interested in Oral Implantology.
We also invite colleagues to participate in the Second Congress of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology to be held in October within the First International Congress of the School of Dentistry, and to the Seminar-Workshop to be held in the same event
