Guidelines for Oral Presentation:

  • Prepare your presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint format.
  • The total no. of slides should not exceed 16.
  • It is mandatory to upload your presentation one day before your presentation in the preview room at Venue.
  • Videos, graphics, or images in your presentation should be compatible with the latest computer software version (Windows 10 & above).
  • The allotted time for the presentation is 10 Minutes (Presentation 08 min & Discussion 02 min).
  • You will receive a beep/bell 01 minute before your scheduled time, and the screen projection will be stopped automatically at the time out.
  • AV Staff will be there to assist in displaying your presentation.

Guidelines for E - Poster:

  • The E-poster will be displayed on a standard 42” LCD TV.
  • The e-poster should have only 04 (Four) slides.
  • Animation/ movies/ sounds will not be supported; please submit in a static PPT format only.
  • The poster should be written only in the English language.
  • Arial font should be used throughout the poster with such clarity that it could be read from a 1.5-meter distance. The title and subheadings should be written in bold letters. Italics should be avoided as it would be harder to read from a distance.
  • Be considerate when using colors for the presentation, use only 2-3 colors as this would be a formal scientific poster presentation. Select background colors that contrast well with the font to allow easier reading of your text. Avoid backgrounds with bright or dark colors and full of texture as this will distract readers.
  • Make sure that any photographs or figures being used in the poster are of sufficient size so that they are clearly visible, with a minimum 300-dpi resolution. The number of photographs should be limited to only those that are essential and relevant for the poster (preferably not exceeding 4-6 photos). Do not submit any photographs or pictures that are not relevant to the text, such as cartoon characters, etc. Photographs for case report presentation should be in standard quality for all extra-oral/intra-oral photos and pre-treatment/post-treatment photos. The radiograph’s view must be of good quality and have minimal distortion.
  • Declaration of Conflict of Interest for all authors; if there are no relevant conflicts, this must be included on the poster.
  • Data must be given in units that are generally accepted in scientific publications (the international metric system is preferred).
