The notable success of previous EuroPerio Congresses is striking, from their relatively modest beginnings to the great clinical, scientific and commercial success of EuroPerio7 in Vienna 2012, which attracted more than 7800 registered participants. EuroPerio8 in London 2015 broke all previous records with almost 10.000 participants. Along with increasing participant numbers, EuroPerio’s profile has also steadily risen, turning it into the "world’s leading congress in periodontology".
