Message from the Organizing Committee

Dear colleague,

On the behalf of the International Organizing and Scientific Committees I am very honored to invite you to the Mediterranean Dental Implant Congress 2008, which will be held in Crete, from 26th to 29th June 2008.

After the great success of previous MDICs our intention again is to achieve a higher scientific level with the participation of internationally known colleagues, specialists in the various aspects of oral implantology. The aim of the congress is to foster international scientific communication and to encourage the exchange of ideas in implant dentistry.

After three wonderful congresses in Corfu now Crete has been chosen to host the Mediterranean Dental Implant Congress.

Crete, Europe’s most southern island, is blessed with a heavenly diversity of nature, the offering of which inevitably also make this trip to a special culinary experience. Crete is also the ideal place to feel the power of history in the present day and to discover the significance of home. Crete, the place Zeus, father of the gods and considered as the god of hospitality, was born, is an absolute holiday paradise. Those who have experience the spirit of Crete always return.

After the last MDIC in June 2006, which was dedicated to our late president Dr. Pantelis Bochlogyros, the presidents and the vice presidents of the MDIC 2006 decided to found a new association to support and to continue the next congresses. Therefore this is also an invitation to join our efforts to keep the idea of the Mediterranean Dental Implant Congress alive, as it was the vision of our friend Pantelis Bochlogyros. Please be welcome as a member in The Mediterranean Dental Implant Society.

Dr. George Iconomou
President MDIC 2008
