The Spring meeting of The British Society of Periodontology (BSP) will be held at Keble College, Oxford from March 24-26, including two overnight stays. The BSP is encouraging people to book early, as there is limited accommodation at the college. The meeting, called 'Blame the bugs, or blame the patient?', will look at the relative importance of microbial and patient factors in periodontitis and periimplantitis. Speaking at the event will be Professor William Wade (noted for his work on the genome of the total oral microbiota), Professor Mike Martin, Roy Page, Professor Tord Berglundh and Ubele van der Velden. The annual dinner will be to Keble's renowned catering standards and preceded by a champagne reception. For further details or to book online visit http://www.bsperio.org.uk/index.htm.
