English Summary: Acad. Dr. | Prof. Dr. | Assoc. Prof. Dr. | Lect. Dr. | Asist. Dr. | Dr.

Abstract Sections

In the scientific world, writing your abstract usually needs to follow the universal IMRaD structure, already a norm in all fields. To be considered valid, your abstract should be structured in accordance to this formula, thus containing the following sections: Introduction, Purpose, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussions, Conclusion and Key-words (3-5).

Time Limitation

Lastly, for the big day (presenting your article), you need to limit your presentation to 8 to 10 minutes. You’ll have to prepare a Power Point for the competition, which you’ll present in front of the jury. We know that this little allowed time can sound very limiting, but try to resume your speech only to what matters the most in your scientific work.

Giving Credit: Lastly, place logos on the opposite side of the title, featuring both the Dent-X Congress logo and your university’s logo.

Don’t mention the entire text of your article as if you are going to publish it in the abstract book. Follow the 40/40/20 rule — maintain a balance of 40% images and tables, 40% free space, and 20% text.

Time is the Key for Succes

Ensure your scientific presentation can be grasped in just 10 minutes. Keep it concise, engaging, and memorable for every reader. Your success is rooted in clarity and impact!
