International College of Prosthodontists 2007 Meeting

The September 2007 Meeting of the International College of Prosthodontists in Fukuoka, Japan yielded an outstanding collection of poster presentations. The results were as follows: The finalists for the Young Prosthodontist Award included Athina A. Bakopoulou (winner) and Dubravka Knezovic Zlataric (runner-up). The category Case History Poster Competition included finalists Ben Lee (winner) and Matjaz Golobic (runner-up). The poster abstracts are presented with a biography of the winning author. Further, each author was asked to provide a brief reply to questions posed by Dr Zarb regarding their research topic. The quality of the poster presentations was exceptional and augurs well for the discipline's research future. It is also worth noting that Dr Bakopoulou was also a winner at the 2005 Meeting in Crete. Hers is indeed an impressive performance, and together with the excellent work of the other winners, deserves the congratulation of the entire editorial staff of the IJP.
