WELCOME MESSAGE FROM
PDAA 2024 CHAIR
Every cloud has a silver lining
It is time for us to go out after a long WFH “work from home”. Let’s Bring Pediatric Dentistry back to LIVE together!!!
Thai Association of pediatric dentistry, ThAPD, as member of the Pediatric Dentistry Association of Asia (PDAA), shares the same mission of improving children’s oral health. ThAPD hosts the 13th biennial conference of PDAA 2024 under the theme "Reunite for Children's Healthy Smiles" along with the annual general meeting of the association in Bangkok, Thailand. Twenty years after the 4th PDAA held in Bangkok, we wish to see you again and would like to extend my warm welcome to everyone on behalf of the planning committee. It is very exciting to host the first on-site PDAA meeting after the COVID 19 pandemic, time to renew our friendships and extend our networks for the benefits of children.
We aim for refreshing, sharing, and exchanging knowledges and ideas among dentists who care for children around the world. The pre-congress ensures your modern knowledges and techniques; the congress topics are up to date on many areas including MIH, esthetic restoration, bioactive materials, regenerative, caries prevention new approach and more on related areas. More than 20 scientific sessions will be offered by renowned speakers who are the leaders in their academic, clinical and research, together with new research and case report presentation, and competition.
Our goal is to put smile on your face, which we hope it will be transferred to faces of children we care for. Intellectual fun and tasty Thai food await!
