Sociedad Espanola de Implantes (SEI)
SEI is the oldest society for oral implantology in Europe. The pioneer work started in 1959 with great expectations. The concept of the founding fathers had been a bold one at the time, although a preliminary form of implantology had existed both in Spain and Italy for some time. Today, what was started by those visionaries has become a centrepiece of dentistry in Spain. SEI is the society of reference for all those who practice implantology in Spain and has been throughout the 50 years, during which the practice has been promoted and defended whereas many other societies had jumped on the bandwagon. In 2009 SEI celebrated its 50th anniversary and the board is still emphasizing the importance of cooperating with other recognized and renowned professional societies and associations throughout Europe.

European Consensus Conference

The BDIZ EDI is working on topics that are highly current and highly controversial. BDIZ EDI considers it an important task to look for, and find, a pan-European consensus on these topics. On an annual basis, an European panel of experts consisting of practitioners and academics are meeting under the auspices of BDIZ EDI to develop a consensus on the topic and to draft a pertinent guideline. Since 2006 the European Consensus Conference (EuCC) is trying to give answers on hot topics in oral implantology (ECC Guidelines).
