The end of an era but the start of something new.

4 years ago I was told that I had been chosen to be a part of the european group in an international network consisting of young talented, aspiring dentists and future dental leaders. A true honor and a very proud moment in my profession as a periodontist.

Over the past years we’ve had the opportunity to meet in Budapest (twice!), Lisbon and Athens.

We have been educated in how to document and present our cases, manage and perform clinical research and had the privilege to listen to amazing and inspirational leaders in odontology such as professor Istvan Urban, our mentor professor Frank Schwarz , professor Rui Figuiredo and the amazing dr Nadja Naenni. At our last meeting we were also gathered with our dear colleagues in the AsianPacific and LatinAmerican group and had the opportunity to share our experiences and knowledge internationally.
 
We have expanded our dental network, grown as individuals and professionals but most and foremost we’ve had a lot of fun on the way becoming dear friends.

I would like to thank Geistlich Dental for choosing me as the representative for Sweden in this amazing group. To Roman Schelling for your support and patience. Also thank you to Tobias Kuenzler, Christine Gathercole, prof Frank Schwarz, dr Isabella Rochietta, Prof Rui Figuiredo, dr Nadja Naenni, Marinette Dahlen and all my dear colleagues and friends in the Geistlich next generation group.

I am so proud of knowing you and looking forward to where the future will take us and am looking forward to beeing a part of the alumni group and continue to grow as a periodontist.
