What is Apriori Expo

apriori — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 07:41:21 +0000

Over the last year at Apriori we have been working hard on a new and different project – Apriori Expo. We’re excited to finally share with you exactly what it will be.

Apriori Expo is an academic event that will be held on February 10-11, 2024 at the Plovdiv International Fair. It consists of two scientific congresses that look to the future of two of our favorite areas of dentistry – Orthodontics and Implantology.

At Apriori, we’ve always put science on a pedestal. You know that our trainings are not for commercial purposes – on the contrary, we always design our courses to objectively present the facts of dentistry while providing maximum practical value.

We approach both congresses at Apriori Expo in the same way.

With love for science

We approached with pedantry, selecting the lineups of lecturers, both from Bulgaria and abroad, because we were looking not only for high value but for matching. The result is an international composition of a high academic level, in which the topics of the speakers complement each other to give maximum value in a short period for the attending dentists.

For example, in the selection of the composition for the implantology congress, we even had to give up several highly valuable speakers with great topics, simply because other trainers had slightly more suitable lectures that fit better into the general theme, namely immediate implantation.

Like a puzzle, we looked for the best fitting pieces to tell a complete story.

See the composition of all the speakers at the Orthodontic Congress here, and at the Implantology Congress – at this link.

Of course, with the aim of maximum convenience for the participants, we have provided English translation for all lectures, so that the language barrier is not a reason for anyone to miss the event.

Practice is an act of improvement

When designing the congresses, we were convinced from the very beginning that we wanted to include as much practical value as possible. In order for the participants to upgrade not only their theoretical knowledge, but also to develop their techniques, we added hands-on sessions (workshops) in both congresses. Hands-ons are a natural extension of the lecture part, where you will be able to apply and practice what you have learned, with the help and guidance of the lecturers and their small army of assistants.

For example, Dr. Riccardo Riccotta and Dr. Francesco Di Corato will lecture on “Digital Workflow and Temporaries for Skeletal Support: Treatment Strategies” and their practical session is dedicated to absolute palatal skeletal support.

Summary

The holding of the two congresses will take place in parallel in two different halls of the Plovdiv International Fair.

Day 1 (Saturday 10th February) contains the lecture part and we have reserved Day 2 entirely for the practical sessions.

Apriori Expo is the result of careful planning and endless hours of fine-tuning every detail, and most of all, tons of work to fulfill the ambitious vision for this event.

This is a new page for Apriori and we are super excited to write it with you! We are expecting you…

Apriori opens two Training Centers

apriori — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 10:51:54 +0000

Apriori Academy opens 2 Training Centers – one in Sofia and another in Varna.

This is something new and quite different. So let’s take a step back and explain our Why and How before we move on to What These Centers Are.

Why do we do it?

Apriori’s goal has always been for our students to be successful. It may sound trivial, but it’s a fact, and we think our hands-on courses and testimonials prove it time and time again.

How do we achieve it?

As you know, all our courses are extremely practice oriented. Theoretical knowledge is great and absolutely mandatory. But any young dentist will confirm that the difficulty goes to a whole other level when he faces his first real cases in his solo practice. Unfortunately, the system rarely prepares us enough for this.

In order to soften this collision of young dentists with reality, our trainings contain a large part of practice. For example, Dr. Traiko Balabanov’s Orthodontic program includes work on his own patient.

What are the Apriori Training Centers?

Our training centers, also known as Training Centers, are dental clinics where our trainees will have the opportunity to treat a patient under the supervision of an experienced specialist. Thus, they will gain valuable experience to confidently develop their own practice.

This service will be offered in various forms.

One option is for a trainee to bring their own patient to the clinic to work on them with a variable level of intervention from our specialists – according to their personal experience and needs.

Another option is a trainee who does not have a patient but wants to gain practice. We will suggest suitable cases for him or her to practice on. Again, with the opportunity to receive help and guidance from the experienced dentists at the Training Center.

Our centers offer full working conditions and impeccable equipment – CBCT scanner, microscope, implantology and surgical sets, intraoral scanners and much more. And, as already mentioned – a team of trained specialists with solid experience behind them, ready to assist wherever and whenever you need them.

Very soon we will announce more details about our first two Training Centers in Sofia and Varna.

Practical orthodontics with Dr. Balabanov – first opinions?

apriori — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 10:47:40 +0000

Dr. Balabanov’s first training in Sofia has ended and we already have the first opinions from students.

It is not by chance that we titled the course “Practical Orthodontics” – the program is strongly oriented towards practical activity, along with theoretical lectures.

It was extremely exciting for us to organize training that included real work on a patient! The group was small – only 7 people, but this did not prevent us from forming an atmosphere of team spirit and mutual assistance.

Considerable time and focused attention was given to each patient and their case. In this way, all trainees benefited from the diversity of specific cases. Because, as every orthodontist realizes for himself soon after starting his practice, there is a big difference between theoretical knowledge and working with real patients.

This was also Dr. Balabanov’s goal with this course – to help each participant go from theory to confident practice.

Since we have already received a lot of inquiries – yes, there will be a next edition of the “Practical Orthodontics” training with Dr. Balabanov.

It will start on June 21 and will be held in 5 modules, within the next 4 months until the end of October.

Until the end of March, you can take advantage of the best price – BGN 12,000 for all 5 modules in total.
