Sociedad Odontológica de Chile (Chilean Odontology Association) and Colegio de Cirujano Dentistas de Chile (Chilean Dental Surgeons Professional Association) organized the FDI's 1st Las Americas Congress at Parque Titanium, which gathered the elite in representation of local and international odontology. For the first time ever, our country could witness an event of such scale, considering the quantity and the prestige of the speakers, professionals, and participating companies. More than 130 world-renown local and international speakers addressed more than 10 different specialties in oral health, including oral rehabilitation, implantology, orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, TTM and orofacial pain, aesthetical restorative dentistry, oral pathology and systemic diseases; pediatric and geriatric dentistry; high technology and smile design. Also, many high-profile activities took place, for example, the Symposium on Oral Health Care and The Role of Primary Health Services in the Americas, held on Saturday March 28th, when the Chilean Ministry of Health's Head of the Oral Health Department, Dr. Elizabeth Lopez, acted as moderator with the participation of international panel members such as Dr. Conrado Barzaga (USA), international leader in public health; Dr. Saskia Estupiñán (Ecuador), Head Advisor and Coordinator for the Special Programs Team and Health for Vulnerable Populations at the Pan-American Health Organization, and Dr. Noemi Bordoni (Argentina), Director of the Universidad de Buenos Aires Public Health Research Institute.
